Behind Orlando's postcard image lies a Central Florida history marked by injustice, violence, unanswered questions, and families determined to uncover the truth.
True Crime Florida: The Orlando Files examines seven major cases and five shorter investigations from Orlando, Orange County, and the surrounding communities. From the 1920 racial terror in Ocoee and the decades-long struggle to clear the names of the Groveland Four to modern investigations shaped by DNA and genetic genealogy, this carefully researched collection spans more than a century of Central Florida history.
Inside these pages:
- The genetic-genealogy breakthrough that identified Christine Franke's killer
- The continuing search for Jennifer Kesse
- The evidence, trial, and controversial verdicts in the Caylee Anthony case
- The forty-nine lives taken at Pulse and the community that carried their memory forward
- The separate prosecutions arising from the deaths of Sade Dixon and Orlando Police Lieutenant Debra Clayton
- Shorter files involving Miya Marcano, Sasha Samsudean, Michelle Parker, Tracy Ocasio, and Regina Mae Armstrong
Drawing from court opinions, government investigations, official records, and documented reporting, J.R. Stranahan separates allegation from proof, verdict from public belief, and unresolved suspicion from established fact.
Victim-centered and grounded in the public record, The Orlando Files looks beyond sensational headlines to examine how evidence survives, how laws and investigative methods change, and how families and communities continue seeking answers long after national attention has moved on.
Part of the True Crime Florida series. Each volume stands alone and may be read in any order.
