Summary
I welcome author, filmmaker and investigative journalist Tim Tate to the show in this interview episode.
TRUE CRIME recently announced the premiere of a new, original series following the story of a serial identity thief and murderer, Elaine Parent, who is known to have stolen more than 20 identities as she moved around the world and conned people out of personal information and money.
'The Hunt for the Chameleon Killer' features police officers, journalists and other law enforcement officials from both sides of the pond, offering their recollections of the pursuit of the con artist dubbed "the world's most wanted woman". The series also zooms in on the murder of Parent's only known victim, Beverly McGowan, a 34-year-old bank clerk whose body was recovered in rural south Florida, in 1990.
The three-part series premiered on TRUE CRIME on September 3, 2024. All episodes are available to stream on WATCH FREE UK after being broadcast.
Tim, who features heavily in the series, is a best-selling author, multiple award-winning documentary filmmaker and investigative journalist. He has published nineteen non-fiction books, made more than 80 documentary films for all British and several international networks, and written for national and regional newspapers.
