Rob Tripp

I've been writing about rapists, murderers and thieves for more than 25 years. For most of that time, I was based in Kingston, Ontario, the penitentiary capital of Canada, home to seven federal prisons. I've written for many newspapers, including the Toronto Star, National Post, Montreal Gazette and the Kingston Whig-Standard, Canada's oldest continuously published daily newspaper. I've won a few awards along the way, including Canada's most coveted prize in daily newspaper journalism, a National Newspaper Award (and have five additional nominations.) In January 2011, I left the Whig-Standard to work as a full-time, freelance investigative crime writer. I now live in Calgary, Alberta with my family.
