This is the story of how I got into a cyber dogfight with one of the world's most notorious hacker groups and leveraged the outcome to my advantage. From dispelling the myth that I was a secret government operative targeting remote third-world countries to working with the intelligence community to hunt down international hackers, this episode is truly stranger than fiction... but incredibly and utterly true.

Paper Ghosts: The Texas Teen Murders

Paper Ghosts: The Texas Teen Murders takes you back to 1983, when two teenagers were found murdered, execution-style, on a quiet Texas hill. What followed was decades of rumors, false leads, and a case that law enforcement could never seem to close. Now, veteran investigative journalist M. William Phelps reopens the file — uncovering new witnesses, hidden evidence, and a shocking web of deaths that may all be connected. Over nine gripping episodes, Paper Ghosts: The Texas Teen Murders unravels a story 42 years in the making… and asks the question: who’s really been hiding the truth?
