Hello! I’m Joan Renner, a multi-talented particular person with a ardour for all issues true crime. As a seasoned creator, blogger, historian, archivist, tour information, and sought-after TV and podcast commentator, I’ve carved out a novel area of interest on this planet of crime storytelling.

I created my true crime weblog, Deranged L.A. Crimes, in December 2012. An surprising consequence of the weblog is connecting with victims of violent crime. By organizing a write-in marketing campaign to the governor, I helped a girl whose husband was brutally murdered maintain the killer in jail for a couple of years longer. I’m an open ear for individuals who want somebody to speak to. Via conversations with rape victims, a survivor of kid intercourse trafficking, and the half-sister of a sufferer of a serial little one killer, I now have a clearer understanding of the consequences of crime on folks and their family members.

In 2009, when given a possibility to volunteer on the Los Angeles Police Museum, I jumped on the likelihood. I spent over 6 years there. I labored on displays and even a e book, LAPD ’53, written by James Ellroy and co-authored by Glynn Martin. My subsequent likelihood to contribute as a volunteer got here in 2016, after I started working with the curator of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Museum—I’m nonetheless there right now. The volunteer work has expanded my information of regulation enforcement and crime within the Metropolis of Angels.
