Frank M. Ahearn is a skip tracer and international “privacy consultant.” His latest book, co-authored with partner Eileen C. Horan, is entitled HOW TO DISAPPEAR. Next Thursday evening, October 28th, we’ll hear about famous and infamous cases where he was enlisted to track down elusive people. We’ll also discuss, in this age of digital footprints, the three keys to disappearing, whether simply for privacy or because you need to get lost.
Go to the 2010 Chapter Meetings page at the right for more information about scheduling and directions to the Muhlenberg Library. As usual, our meetings are open to the public!

Deadlier than the male? Different, for sure!
On Thursday, September 23rd, our chapter meeting’s speaker will be forensic profiler Dr. Kostas Katsavdakis. Dr. Forensic is a psychology professor and consultant who’s going to highlight common myths and mistakes about the pathology of violent criminals. Additionally, he’ll focus on why what we may think we know about male criminal behavior and motivation is dead wrong when dealing with the female of the species.
Chapter meetings at the Muhlenberg Library are open to the public, and we warmly invite you to come and to bring guests. See logistical details at the 2010 Chapter Meetings link.

Do stop by! We’ll have members making charming small talk and book bargains all day!
(NYSinC will also be tweeting whatever we can see from our camp chairs at #bkbf)
