PI Education Webinar | Tell Me Everything: The Story of a Private Investigation

Guest: Erika Krouse, author

Topic: Tell Me Everything: The Story of a Private Investigation

Guest host: Kim Green, editor of Pursuit Magazine

Air Date:March 30, 2022

Erika Krouse, a writer of fiction and nonfiction, has the kind of face that inspires confidences. Strangers often confess their secrets to her. And she has a talent for listening—to what people say AND what lies behind their silences. These gifts landed her a gig as a private investigator, working a landmark Title IX lawsuit involving sexual assaults at a university. Guest host Kim Green talks with Krouse about her new book: “Tell Me Everything: The Story of a Private Investigation.” The memoir details her role in that five-year case — and how the work began to consume her life. Krouse reveals her investigative methods and shifting motivations with blistering self-awareness and candor. In the webinar, we’ll zoom in on the sorcery of convincing witnesses to open up — how P.I.s deploy empathy, skills of observation, and sometimes, a pretense of connection as superpowers of persuasion. And we’ll tackle the question of how much to consider individual witnesses’ best interest in the context of the job — and a wider search for justice.
