    Life Detonated: The True Story of a Widow and a Hijacker , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 390min
    Watching the towers crumble, few remembered America had been attacked on 9/11, once before. Kathleen Murray Moran's own September 11th 25 years earlier occurred when her husband Brian, a member of the New York City Bomb Squad was killed defusing a bomb Croatian freedom-fighters placed in a Grand Central Station locker before hijacking TWA flight 355 from La Guardia airport. Life Detonated is the story of how that bomb ripped through Kathleen's life, the life she had so carefully created after spending her childhood in a bug-infested basement of a Bronx tenement, one of eight children, where the door was left open to drug dealers and pimps, until she was saved by the man who became a hero to Kathleen and the city of New York. This is a survivor's story. It is the story of moving from being the unintended target of political terrorism to becoming the founder of Survivors of the Shield, a group that advocates for and provides support and assistance to the spouses and children of New York City police officers killed in the line of duty. It is the story of how she moved from poverty to the suburbs and refused to go back after Brian's death. It is a story of resilience in the face of senseless tragedy. And it is the story of evil villains and surprising superheroes. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Coleen Marlo.

    Did They Really Do It?: From Lizzie Borden to the 20th Hijacker  , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 382min
    Nine of the most controversial violent crimes in America's history are reexamined in these compelling stories of true crime. Dr. Samuel Mudd set John Wilkes Booth's broken ankle, but was he actually part of the larger conspiracy to assassinate President Abraham Lincoln? Did Lizzie Borden brutally murder her own parents in Massachusetts? Was admitted jihadist Zacarias Moussaoui really involved in the terrorist plot to destroy the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001? In a series of provocative and eye-opening true crime investigations, author Fred Rosen revisits some of the most shocking and notorious crimes in America over the past two centuries to determine once and for all...did they really do it? Applying logic and techniques of modern criminology while reexamining the crime scenes, official police records, and the original courtroom testimonies of witnesses and the accused, Rosen explores nine infamous crimes that rocked the nation and the verdicts that were ultimately handed down. From Ethel and Julius Rosenberg's execution for treason to the kidnapping and killing of the Lindbergh baby to the Ku Klux Klan slayings of three civil rights workers in Mississippi to 9/11, the alleged perpetrators get another day in court as Rosen calls into question the circumstantial evidence and cultural context that may have determined guilt or innocence in each case. ungekürzt.

    This Is Your FBI, Vol. 1: The Classic Radio Collection, Hörbuch, Digital, 348min
    This Is Your FBI, as the title suggests, was a crime drama that featured true cases from the FBI and was told from an agent's viewpoint. The show's producer and director, Jerry Devine, had once worked for the FBI, so having him for the show would allow each story to be told in the best way possible. J. Edgar Hoover, who was the chief of the FBI at the time, gave it his endorsement, calling it "the finest dramatic program on the air", and gave Devine access to the FBI files for the stories used in the show. The show's main character was Agent Jim Taylor, who handled crime cases on the West Coast. Each 30-minute episode allowed for the presentation of the criminal's actions, followed up with Taylor's investigation of the crime. This long-running series starred Frank Lovejoy (and later Dean Carlton and William Woodson) as the narrator, Betty White, and Stacy Harris. Episodes included are: "The Serviceman's Fraud", "The Desert Dictator", "The Unwelcome Guest", "The Sinister Souvenir", "The Cautious Killer", "The Corrupt City", "The Pan American Patriots", "The Castaway Killer", "The Paroled Killer", "The Delinquent Parents", "The Nylon Hijacker", and "The Singing Swindler".

    Hijacked: The Appalachian Foothills Series, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 722min
    Pilot Lannis Parker's carefully constructed, sterile life is upended when her small plane is hijacked before dawn on a wintry Louisville morning. Her captor does more than force her to fly him to the Appalachian wilderness, though. He resurrects memories she's tried to bury, memories of a brutal attack she'd survived four years earlier, an attack she didn't report and tries to pretend didn't happen. Wounded and losing strength by the minute, Ben Martin knows he has no choice but to commandeer a plane before he's set upon by a ruthless band of drug dealers intent on wiping him out along with the information he's acquired. He's horrified to discover the pilot is a woman - but once his plan is launched, there's no turning back. During a week in the wilderness, Lannis learns her hijacker is fair and honorable, compassionate and insightful - strange attributes for a criminal. And when he discovers her secret, he vows to be the friend she desperately needs but refuses to accept. Will she come to terms with her past? And will he be part of her future? ungekürzt.

    The Fatalist , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 774min
    As seen on Australian Story. 'I first met Lindsey Rose playing pool at The Burwood Hotel in 1988. I was two years out of high school. He'd already committed three murders. None of us knew.' 'We knew he was a brothel owner, we knew not to get on his wrong side, but we knew nothing of his lives past: fitter and turner, ambulance officer, private investigator, car thief, hijacker, arsonist, mercenary, drug dealer. Murderer.' 'I drank at The Burwood on and off for six years. The last time I saw Lindsey as a free man was in early 1994, when he came to a poker game at my home. By then he'd committed two more murders - on Valentine's Day 1994 - and that made five.' What factors are at play in the creation of a cold-blooded killer? How can a relaxed, sociable, loving man with a strong work ethic keep the truth of his inner life, his dark side, hidden from friends, family and even the woman he marries? Informed by the science of criminal psychology, court documents and transcripts, correspondence and many interviews with Rose in the notorious Goulburn Supermax prison, Campbell McConachie's account is a unique and fascinating journey into the life and mind of a multiple murderer. ungekürzt.

    My Blue Yonder , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 423min
    Carl Gamble, a premier airline pilot, has penned a remarkable memoir, a powerful story about his journey from the cotton fields of Madison County, Alabama, to the captain’s seat flying jumbo jets between North America and Europe. While in grade school, Gamble was inspired by jet fighters flying over Madison from a near-by Air Force Base and his dream to become a pilot was born. Gamble’s hard and focused work overcame an inauspicious start studying aviation at Tennessee State University, a necessary stepping stone toward a flying career for African Americans of small means in the 1960s. Gamble was awarded the Air Force’s coveted Distinguished Flying Cross. His quick thinking and superior flying skills enabled him to land his C-47, severely disabled by enemy antiaircraft fire, and save the lives of his crew in Vietnam. My Blue Yonder tells Gamble’s story by taking you to his boyhood home, into the cockpit of his crippled plane, and into his PTSD. You fly with him to rescue men adrift on an ice floe in Lake Superior, refuel combat aircraft at four hundred miles per hour over the Gulf of Tonkin, and negotiate with a hijacker while flying in a holding pattern off the coast of Florida. A memorable quote passed through generations of pilots, and a favorite of Gamble’s, is, “There are old pilots and there are bold pilots, but there are no old bold pilots”. Similarly, there are pilots who have landed burning airplanes and there are pilots who have been hijacked. Gamble is potentially the first pilot to experience both. ungekürzt. Language: English.
