Diary

Welcome to my Cold Case Diary!

Working undercover for the FBI meant that I could not tell anyone about my work. Now that I have started the preliminary investigation about the arrest and possible betrayal of Anne Frank, I can finally share my experiences with my loved ones, in particular with my daughter, Kate. I make voice recordings for her and keep a diary. She grew up without knowing what her father did, but now, I am thrilled that I can keep her informed about every move I make in this case. I appreciate her insights and she is a great inspiration to me. She says it's time to share my experiences with the rest of the world.
