21:33
Jillian Lauren is a writer, storyteller, adoption advocate, and rock-wife. She is the New York Times best-selling author of the memoirs “Everything You Ever Wanted” and “Some Girls: My Life in a Harem”. She was the only journalist to extensively interview Samuel Little, the most prolific serial killer in American history. Her latest book about the time she spent interviewing Sam Little is called “Behold the Monster: Confronting America’s Most Prolific Serial Killer”. Her writing has appeared in New York Magazine, The New York Times, Vanity Fair, The Los Angeles Times, Elle, The Daily Beast, Salon, and many others.
Laura opens the show by asking Jillian about being an adoption advocate, before getting into her newest book “Behold the Monster”. Jillian talks about how rampant crime was in Los Angeles in the 80s, making it difficult to discover Sam Little as a serial killer. This leads to the kind of victims Sam Little would seek out, and the work that went into finally catching him.
Jillian then discuses visiting Sam Little in prison by having to pretend she was his friend so the guards would let her in. Her extensive time spent with Sam Little led her to solve one of his murders that was previously deemed a cold case.
Before they wrap, Jillian talks about how her interviews with Sam Little negatively affected her home life
