36. From Death Row Convict to Crime Solver: William Noguera on Through the Lens of a Monster

Listen Later

In this powerful episode of Santana True Crime, Cameron Santana sits down with William A. Noguera — a former death-row inmate turned acclaimed author and crime-investigation collaborator. His book Through the Lens of a Monster: A Serial Killer on Death Row, an Unsolved Murder List, and an Inmate’s Deadly Play for Redemption unveils his decades on San Quentin’s Death Row, his unique role as an artist-inmate, and the chilling confessions of serial killer Joseph Naso that helped crack cold cases.

Together, we explore:

  • How Noguera survived the brutality of death row and refused to join prison gangs

  • His transformation into an artist whose prison works were internationally recognized

  • His book’s revelations about predator psychology, redemption, and his work now with law-enforcement

  • What his story teaches us about crime, punishment, and the possibility of change
