Murderer of the Year Bill Bowman

In "Murderer of the Year," journalist Bill Bowman brings you behind the scenes of an investigation and trial that rocked an upscale New Jersey borough. Friends are shocked when Gene Berta, a married man with children, captain of the local rescue squad, a man named "Man of the Year" for his life-saving work, is accused of murdering Catherine Neal Warner, a pretty, petite 29-year-old nurse with whom he'd been having an affair for a decade. Immediately after Warner's body is found, detectives from the Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office began to piece together the puzzle that would lead them to Berta: items such as a daily calendar and Warner's wrist watch. "Murderer of the Year" takes you into Warner's home when detectives make the surprising discovery that leads to Berta's arrest, and into the courtroom for the bombshell revelation that seals his fate.
