David Lohr has written about and interviewed many of the most notorious criminals in the world during a more than 10-year career. Previously, he was senior investigative crime writer for the former CourtTV’s Crime Library. Mr. Lohr is now a feature writer for the Discovery Channel, where he heads the Criminal Report at Investigation Discovery, a true crime network that gives readers a daily dose of the latest and most probing investigations.

Lohr gained national prominence in 2003 when a long-elusive serial murderer read one of the writer’s articles about the decades-long mystery of the BTK murders in Wichita, Kansas. After reading Lohr’s account of the unsolved crimes, Dennis Rader made some key modifications to the story and mailed his edited version to the media, along with evidence that he was the killer. Two years later, Rader confessed to murdering 10 people between 1974 and 1991.
