Jennifer Toth

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jennifer Toth is a U.S. journalist. She attended Columbia University and has written for the Los Angeles Times and the Raleigh News & Observer.

In 1993, she published her study entitled The Mole People: Life In The Tunnels Beneath New York City, featuring interviews with some dwellers of the "Freedom Tunnel." Allegedly, her life was threatened for purportedly witnessing and telling police of a killing by a mole person (possibly a source) and she fled New York City. However, it is also possible that she left the city to avoid criticism that parts of her book are essentially unverifiable and appear to be fiction. Neither explanation has been conclusively proven.
