The Book of Matt
Book • 2014
The Book of Matt is an in-depth investigation into the murder of Matthew Shepard, which occurred on October 6, 1998.
Stephen Jimenez's book challenges the widely accepted narrative that Shepard's murder was a hate crime due to his sexual orientation.
Instead, Jimenez's research, spanning 13 years and involving over a hundred named sources, suggests that the murder was intricately tied to the methamphetamine trade in Laramie, Wyoming.
The book reveals that Shepard and his killers, Aaron McKinney and Russell Henderson, were not strangers but were involved in the same drug circles.
Jimenez explores the complex and violent world of drug trafficking, providing a nuanced and multifaceted account of the events surrounding Shepard's death.
