- Joshua Lisec - Haitians of Springfield: An Oral History
When One Culture Eats Another
What if dismissing a viral news story as a “hoax” was the real hoax all along?
When Springfield, Ohio, became a national symbol in America’s immigration debate, the media moved quickly to impose a clean, familiar narrative—claims were debunked, concerns were invented, and heritage citizens raising them were misled, manipulated, or worse. But for many Clark County residents, the official story rang false; it sounded more like a cover-up.
Rust-Belt Springfield had struggled for decades amid slowed job prospects, strained services, fragile neighborhoods, and a forsaken generation left to wonder if things could ever get better. Then thousands of Haitian migrants arrived in a community with little room to absorb the shock. Schools, hospitals, housing, streets, and workplaces felt the pressure immediately. Tragedies struck; residents spoke up. Then national politics seized on the story during the 2024 presidential election cycle, and rumor, denial, outrage, and opportunism collided. A tidy mainstream narrative subsequently devoured documented local history and dismissed all nuance.
In Haitians of Springfield, the first-ever book covering this American migrant crisis, New York Times bestselling author and lifelong Ohio resident Joshua Lisec tells the full story of what happens when one culture’s norms begin to supersede another’s, when a local way of life is willed into submission without a vote, without consent, and without recourse. Drawing on local reporting, original interviews, public testimony, firsthand accounts, hard evidence, and the first-ever professional polls of the people of Springfield, Lisec tells all sides of a story mainstream media would not—what mass migration looks like on the ground, how real people (on both sides) pay the price, and why the truth is buried when it's politically inconvenient.
As a representative case study, Haitians of Springfield traces the widening gap between lived experience of foreign influx into middle America and its approved narrative.Herein is the literary portrait of a city forced to confront whether citizenship, assimilation, identity, and belonging still mean what they once did—and to decide who bears the cost when progressive policy priority gets imposed locally . . . and punitively.

Arnaldo Pagliarini "Arnie" Lerma (November 18, 1950 – March 16, 2018) was an American writer and activist, a former Scientologist, and a critic of Scientology who appeared in television, media and radio interviews. Lerma was the first person to post the court document known as the Fishman Affidavit, including the Xenu story, to the Internet via the Usenet newsgroup alt.religion.scientology.
Lerma started in Scientology at the age of 16 at the urging of his mother, an executive director for the Washington, DC church. He was impressed by L. Ron Hubbard's exaggerated account of his military career and scientific credentials.[1]
Lerma joined Scientology's Sea Org and was assigned in 1976 to a post working alongside Hubbard's daughter Suzette. He later claimed that they became romantically involved and planned to elope, though others[who?] have disputed this. Lerma alleged that other Sea Org officers discovered their plans and threatened to mutilate him if he did not cancel the marriage. Lerma quit Scientology soon afterward.

In the early 1970s, teenage boys began disappearing across Houston, Texas. One by one, they vanished, leaving behind empty bedrooms, unanswered questions, and a city that chose not to look too closely.
Police called them runaways while parents were told to be patient. Lack of concern caused a pattern to go unnoticed, until a single phone call changed everything.
On August 8, 1973, a teenage boy confessed to killing a man and exposed a horror hidden in plain sight. What followed was one of the most disturbing discoveries in American criminal history: a network of abduction, torture, and murder that had operated undetected for years.
In The "Candy Man" Murders, Jen Schaffer delivers a haunting, deeply researched account of the Houston Mass Murders. Through meticulous investigation and gripping narrative, she reveals not only the crimes themselves but the systemic failures, cultural blind spots, and quiet complicity that allowed them to continue.
Because the most terrifying truth isn’t just what happened—it’s how long no one stopped it.
Jen Schaffer is a Houston-based author, podcaster, and historical crime researcher exploring Texas crime history and the communities it shaped. She hosts Crude Acts: A Texas True Crime Podcast, now in its fourth season, and has appeared on Texas True Crime (ABC), Bloodline Detectives, Green Eyed Killers, and Stalked.
Jen writes using her Lens Method: each book opens with the case, steps back to examine the world around the crime (its history, money, politics, and documented events), then brings that lens back to the case for another look.

56m - Oct 23, 2026 - Phil Stanford - Murder in Oregon
In January of 1989 the director of Oregon’s Department of Corrections, Michael Francke, was brutally stabbed to
death outside his office in Salem. The murder was quickly ruled a “car burglary gone wrong” and pinned on a
low-level drug dealer named Frank Gable, a man who Francke's own brother, Kevin, along with storied Oregon
reporter Phil Stanford, believe has been wrongfully imprisoned for nearly 30 years. They believe Francke had
uncovered a trail of corruption in the prison system— one that led to the top of Oregon’s political establishment.
Murder In Oregon follows the two men on a decades-long journey, bordering on obsession, into Oregon’s drug
and crime-infested underworld to answer one question: Who really killed Michael Francke?
