Writer to collaborate on sensational, unsolved murder of prominent, wealthy L.A. businessman in early 30s. The first time two people (my grandparents) were first tried by judge, not jury, for murder. He found them guilty but a subsequent jury trial said otherwise. I have all the court records, front-page newspaper stories, photos and ideas. I'm a retired advertising writer in Ohio who needs a local partner who can help me put everything in fiction or non-fiction book form and get it published. Object: Financial reward for both of us.
