After learning a distant cousin whom he’d never met had been convicted of murder and then meeting Ray Krone on Death Row, Jim Rix began investigating the case. Rix’s diligence eventually led to his cousin’s freedom.

It wasn’t easy. It took 10 years, two trials and an eye-opening odyssey through the criminal justice system that led Rix to conclude that the only way to get his cousin out of prison was to find the real Snaggletooth Killer.

The legal adventure has been put to words in the book “Jingle Jangle: The Perfect Crime Turned Inside Out”.

Rix will be at the Carson City Costco July 31-Aug. 1 from noon-4pm signing his book.
