Over a more than 40-year career in Las Vegas journalism, Jack Sheehan has crossed paths with people from all walks of life, but in this special presentation, Sheehan will share stories and insights from his close encounters with cold-blooded killers. He’ll discuss meeting dangerous people such as Gramby Hanley, who, with his father, Tom, killed Culinary Union leader Al Bramlet; Carroll Edward Cole, a serial killer linked to 27 murders; and Billy Lee Chadd, another serial killer known for torturing his victims. And then there’s Sandy Shaw, a teenage girl convicted of participating in the gruesome “Show and Tell” murder, only to be released years later and receive a full pardon.
