Simpson, Scott Peterson, Jon Benet Ramsey, Phil Spector, and the list goes on. The series follows Jones, who's written a string of best-selling true crime books, as she unravels new mysteries lurking behind cases that shocked America: O.J. Jones is now filming her sixth season, uncovering secrets about riveting cases across America. Now, the author has taken her career to TV as the executive producer and TV host of the ID series, True Crime with Aphrodite Jones, which airs on Investigation Discovery. Her knack for detail allows her to dissect bizarre murder cases and bring readers into the heart of darkness. “When I quick-pitched my show I explained to the execs, for instance, that in the case of Scott Peterson, ‘There are things you think you know, but you only know half of it.’ There is a story behind every story.Aphrodite Jones is an award-winning American reporter and author who writes about murder. “That truly is what I’m thinking,” she says. Arguably the most intriguing moments of “True Crime” are when she faces the camera and confesses her own questions about the case, the nagging details that made her, in her investigation, go “What?” It’s like getting a glimpse into her personal reporter’s notebook – most journalist’s notes have similar portions with emphatically circled quotes and quickly drawn question marks and arrows written during interviews. The network’s stock and trade is just that, true crime, but Jones’ stands out because she approaches each story not from a sensational viewpoint, but as a reporter. She does that often on “True Crime With Aphrodite Jones,” her ID show. I used to say ‘My books were my children, but now I feel like I can’t help but feel like someone has to take the responsibility to reach out to our kids.” That’s one of the reasons I am drawn to things like CRC (which fights online child predators) that try to rescue our kids.
I feel the children of today are my children, and my responsibility. That’s one reason I’m so passionate about what I do. “I wouldn’t have kids be a part of that, because my work was such a large part of my life. Killer,” “Cruel Sacrifice” and “All She Wanted,” on which the Oscar-winning “Boys Don’t Cry” was based. “Part of the reason I don’t have kids is that I’ve spent 25 years of my life doing crime writing,” says Jones, author of “The F.B.I. Still, the South Florida-based former journalist, who spoke at an event at Boca Raton’s Child Rescue Coalition last week, admits that she finds herself drawn to stories about kids, even though she doesn’t have any of her own – a conscious choice.
Writer, commentator and host of her own show on Investigation Discovery, Aphrodite Jones doesn’t just write about crimes by and against children.
