Charles Ramsey's Book Pokes Readers In The Eye

Co-author Randy Nyerges, Jim McIntyre, Charles Ramsey

He calls himself a true Tea Party Republican, calls the term "African American" stupid and loathsome (he prefers only "American,") and says things have gotten worse with Barack Obama as president.  Charles Ramsey also helped kick in the door through which Amanda Berry and her daughter crawled on May 6, 2013, and helped her call the police, who then freed Michelle Knight and Gina DeJesus from Ariel Castro's House on Seymour Avenue.

Ramsey's book, written with author Randy Nyerges,  and published by Cleveland-based Gray and Company, Publishers is supremely profane but surprisingly compelling. It is the first on the sordid Seymour Avenue story to be published, coinciding with the first anniversary of the rescue.  During this interview, you will hear for the first time Charles Ramsey read a passage about the event that led to his infamy, from the book Dead Giveaway.

The Original House of Horrors in Cleveland on Imperial Avenue

Michael Madison was reported to be "inspired" by Anthony Sowell, when he kidnapped and murdered women in and around his home in East Cleveland.

Investigative reporter Rob Sberna has spoken with Anthony Sowell several times, corresponding with the serial killer on the phone and by letter in his research for the book House of Horrors, The Shocking True Story of Anthony Sowell, The Cleveland Strangler.

Sberna has also spoken with many family members of the 11 women who Sowell was convicted of killing, and two women who fought their way out of Sowell's home on Imperial Avenue.

In his conversation, the author talks about why Sowell says he attacked all those women, and about the differences between Sowell and Ariel Castro, the man accused of kidnapping Michelle Knight, Amanda Berry, and Gina DeJesus.

The Original House of Horrors in Cleveland, Part II

In Part II of Jim's interview with Robert Sberna, the author talks about the victims of Anthony Sowell, and how a registered sex offender and ex-con was able to avoid detection while killing so many women.

Nobody Loves You When You're In Jail

Why was Ariel Castro's bail set at $8,000,000,000?  What if he had a stash of cash, and could come up with the 10% a bail bonds agent would need to put up the bond that would release him?  Is it possible that the man accused of kidnapping 3 women, raping and torturing them and holding them against their will in his house on Seymour Avenue in Cleveland for more than a decade could be set free?  Eric Granof, Managing Director of ExpertBail explains how the bail system works in this interview with Jim.
