      Thanks a lot. I wanted the public to see inside an investigation and prosecution and some of the difficulties involved.

      Thanks. It was HUGE news in Las Vegas at a time the country was consumed with OJ, Rodney King, etc., 180 miles away in LA.

      Thank you. Frankly, I had never even listed to a podcast myself. My kids suggested that I do one on some of my more noteworthy cases. It was a lot of work, fun at times, a challenge in retirement.

      John – made sure Lyford got his due, he deserved it. Hope you are well.

    John, good to hear from you. I thought some of the inside scoop, good and bad, would be interesting. Also wanted George Lyford to get his due publicly. I made sure, way back when, that the Wynns knew it was he whose intuition led to the arrests.
