George Hunter has covered crime for the Detroit News for more than twenty years. He's familiar with the subject; he grew up in the Cass Corridor, one of Detroit's most impoverished, crime-ridden neighborhoods, and three of his siblings were Detroit cops. Hunter has appeared in several true crime documentaries and in news outlets including CNN, Fox News Channel, HLN, the BBC, Japan's Fugi Network and Germany's Der Spiegel. Hunter is also a lifelong Detroit Tiger fan, having attended his first game at Tiger Stadium in 1970.
