All of which gives him a confluence of expertise and experience to bring to true crime fanatics.

He is the exec-producer, writer and host of the #1 true-crime podcast franchise Paper Ghosts, and now Crossing the Line with M. William Phelps, an ongoing, weekly podcast diving deeply into murder, missing people and unsolved, cold case cases rarely covered. His other podcast, White Eagle, is a narrative, limited series focused on one of the largest cash heists in American history and the search for the man (and the money) who has spent the longest time (40 years!) on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted Fugitive list.

Phelps has consulted on over 350 hours of true-crime television, executive-produced documentaries, and weekly series. Having written 7 books about them, he is a highly sought-after expert and speaker for his extensive knowledge regarding historic and contemporary serial killers—and the psychology shaping the mind of the murderer.

Beyond crime, Phelps has written several history books, including the acclaimed, New York Times bestseller, the only official nonfiction biography about the Revolutionary War hero, NATHAN HALE; THE DEVIL'S ROOMING HOUSE, the true story of "Arsenic & Old Lace (in development as a major motion picture); THE DEVIL'S RIGHT HAND, the complete story of the (Samuel) Colt dynasty; MURDER, NEW ENGLAND; and FAILURES OF THE PRESIDENTS.

When a young college student’s car was abandoned on the side of a busy midwest highway in 1992, police figured it was a runaway case. Nine days later, she was found brutally murdered, nearly 500 miles away. In season 3 of PAPER GHOSTS, investigative journalist and New York Times bestselling true crime author M. William Phelps digs deep into the murder of Tammy Jo Zywicki and uncovers a murky police investigation, a pool of new suspects, and a community of people still desperate for answers.
