35. Murder, Prison, and Redemption: The Stories Behind Carla Conti’s True Crime Books
Author Carla Conti joins Santana True Crime to discuss the real-life stories and moral conflicts behind her books Chained Birds and The Jacklighter.
In Chained Birds, Conti explores what happens when a convict is ordered to stab another inmate — exposing the brutal choices people face to survive behind bars.
Her newest book, The Jacklighter, investigates the 1976 murder of attorney Martin Dillon, who was shot by Dr. Stephen Scher in rural Pennsylvania. Scher claimed it was a hunting accident — but Dillon’s parents never believed it. Their persistence led to the reopening of one of Pennsylvania’s most shocking murder cases.
🎙️ Tune in for a gripping discussion about justice, morality, and the thin line between guilt and survival.
