BIOGRAPHY
APHRODITE JONES knows true crime. A bestselling author and TV persona, Jones is known as someone who doesn’t sugar-coat her opinions on controversial murder cases. Always with her finger on the pulse, her true crime books have inspired real-life films including the Academy Award-winning film, Boys Don’t Cry, the ABC movie, Betrayed By Love, and Lifetime film The Staircase Murders, a story that later became the subject of the hit Netflix docu-series The Staircase.
In her true crime books, Jones brings readers deep into the mind of a killer, revealing the dark motives of a sociopath and the failures of those who unwittingly allowed a monster to hide in plain sight. Her mission is to bring a form of catharsis to the victim’s families, to unravel the “why?” and to write cautionary tales that might help prevent a future tragedy.
In addition to writing a string of bestselling true crime books, Jones created the hit ID series, True Crime with Aphrodite Jones, which ran for six seasons on Investigation Discovery, airing in 90 countries around the world. All 63 episodes of TCAJ can be seen on Discovery+
Throughout her illustrious career, Jones has covered the high-profile trials of O.J. Simpson, Casey Anthony, Scott Peterson, Michael Jackson, and drug kingpin El Chapo Guzman. Her newest book, Levi’s Eyes: A Son’s Deadly Secret and A Father’s Cruel Betrayal, became an instant bestseller on Amazon and has been featured on Dateline NBC, FOX Nation, and on ABC’s 20/20 “The Sins of the Father.”
Jones is an activist for victim’s rights and has given keynote addresses to The Child Rescue Coalition, The Boys and Girls Clubs of Broward County, The American Polygraph Association, The FBI Citizen’s Academy, and was the inaugural speaker at CrimeCon, which continues to draw thousands of participants and top luminaries from every spectrum of the true crime world.
