| Introduction | I'm a retired 21-year veteran of the Suffolk County Police Department. I've written a true crime memoir, which centers around the first murder in the history of Northport Village, a crime my armchair detective grandmother spoke about when I was a child; it's a story I've been destined to tell. I'm currently searching for an agent. I'm a breast cancer survivor who volunteers with the American Cancer Society and Crime Stoppers of Suffolk County, Inc.
