Take a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know author Stephen Jimenez. Stephen was a screenwriter who went to Laramie, Wyoming in search of enough information to write a screen play about the tragic and gruesome murder of Matthew Shepard. What he found instead were enough bread crumbs to start his own investigation into what REALLY happened that October night in 1998. In this episode we chat about what made Stephen want to be a writer, and why he initially went to Laramie. We also talk about some of the details and information that he uncovered, and some of the things that were reported incorrectly, if at all in this highly sensationalized story.

THIS IS PART 1.
