Meet True Crime Reporter Aphrodite Jones …
and Hear Her Stories of the Nation’s Most Cunning Criminals
IF YOU DARE …
Join us for an evening of shocking reveals and “this can’t be true” mysteries with New York Times bestselling author Aphrodite Jones. As producer and TV host of Investigation Discovery’s True Crime with Aphrodite Jones, she has traveled to places we fear to tread and returned with bone-chilling secrets.
Aphrodite is one of the reigning queens of the true crime genre. She will give us a glimpse into her motivation of reporting on the most cunning and malevolent criminals—and why we read these cautionary tales.
In her 30-plus year career, Aphrodite has reported on O.J. Simpson, Casey Anthony, Michael Jackson, Scott Peterson, and the unsolved case of JonBenét Ramsey. In her latest book, Levi’s Eyes, Aphrodite explores two killings—first a mother, then her son— murdered 17 years apart, by a husband and father whose unspeakable betrayal unraveled the thread that fatally linked them together.
The evening will also explore what it’s meant to Aphrodite personally to devote a lifetime investigating true crime and where she’s drawn her strength. She’ll also explain why she became an activist for victim’s rights.
Aphrodite will take the stage with Clark Bunting, the former president and general manager of Discovery Channel. He headed up Investigation Discovery and gave the green light for Aphrodite’s show, which ran for six seasons. It can now be watched on Discovery+. Bunting now serves as the chair of the NWS board.
Doors open at 6 p.m. with live entertainment and a cash bar. The event starts at 7 p.m.
If you attend virtually, the livestream opens at 6:50 p.m. and the show starts at 7 p.m.EST.
