Author Snapshot

Billy Jensen

Billy Jensen is a true-crime journalist focused squarely on unsolved murders and missing persons. But after seventeen years of writing hundreds of stories with no endings, he was fed up--and decided to try to solve the murders and find the missing himself. It worked. Combining the shoe-leather investigative tenacity and skills he learned reporting crime with radical techniques honed from his day job as a digital executive, Jensen has solved or helped solve ten homicides and helped locate missing persons. Law enforcement agencies now reach out to Jensen to help in cases that have them stumped, using him as a "consulting detective." He was friends with Michelle McNamara and, after her sudden passing, helped finish her #1 New York Times bestselling book, I'll Be Gone in the Dark, about the hunt for the Golden State Killer. He was a senior producer and investigator on the Warner Bros. show Crime Watch Daily and co-hosts with Paul Holes the podcast The Murder Squad.
