Interview with Mark Fuhrman
This past Sunday I had the chance to speak with Mark Fuhrman on my radio show "The Levi Page Show" which streams live on Blog Talk Radio every Sunday night at 10 PM EST / 9 CST. We discussed his new book "The Murder Business" where he takes aim at the media and their coverage of high profile crime stories. I also picked his brain about current crimes making headlines including the Caylee Anthony case, Haleigh Cummings and Drew Peterson. We also discussed cases from the past such as O.J. Simpson and the JonBenet Ramsey murder case.
It was an interesting show and I cannot praise his book enough.

The Murder Business: How the Media Turns Crime Into Entertainment and Subverts Justice
Making Murder Pay
More than a crime, murder has become big business. An entire industry depends on the steady drumbeat of horror that starts up at the first signs that a pretty white girl is missing. Suddenly, law enforcement’s difficult task is made worse by media carnival barkers who cavalierly tamper with witnesses, throw up false leads, and subvert justice in pursuit of the “story.”
In The Murder Business, renowned former LAPD detective and current FOX News crime investigator Mark Fuhrman delivers an explosive exposé of the facts, obscured or ignored by much of the media, of some of the most riveting murder cases of our time. Fuhrman reveals:
How investigators knew Caylee Anthony was never “missing”—and how media reports to the contrary prolonged misery and impeded the investigation
Who killed JonBenét Ramsey
How Scott Peterson almost got away with murder
Why suspects love sitting down with the media, even as they avoid police interviews
Why the media neglect minorities despite higher rates of minority victims of kidnapping and murder
How the media could regain their “watchdog” credentials
The never-before-told full story of the O. J. Simpson case—and why he
got off
Mark Fuhrman puts you in the shoes of professional criminal investigators, walks you through crime scenes with the penetrating eye of a trained detective, and shows you the unconscious irresponsibility and greed of the media who inadvertently capitalize on suffering and hinder justice in their pursuit of ratings. The Murder Business is a shocking tale of crime, and the media's interference with criminal investigators, that will forever change the way you look at crime reporting.
