“True Crime with Aphrodite Jones”
In 2010, Jones created and produced her own TV reality crime series named “True Crime with Aphrodite Jones” for which she was also the host, airing on the Investigation Discovery channel for six seasons, between 2010 and 2014.
The show, in which she dived deeper into some of the crime cases that shocked the states’ public media, revealing so far uncovered mysteries, quickly amassed an audience and became a real hit. Jones covered cases such as the notorious Menendez Brothers, Casey Anthony as well as Phil Spector and Jon Benet Ramsey.
Other professional achievements of Aphrodite Jones
In her more than 25 year-long crime reporting career, Aphrodite has covered a variety of crimes and cases, including also the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City in 2001 and “the trial of the century” – the O. J. Simpson murder case – among plenty of others. In her prominent career so far, as a crime expert Aphrodite Jones has collaborated with numerous big media houses, such as CNN, CBS, NBC as well as the MTV, TLC and “Entertainment Tonight” to name a few.
Aphrodite Jones’ Books
During her teaching tenure, in September 1992 Aphrodite released her first book – “The FBI Killer” – a crime novel about Mark Putnam, the first agent in the long history of the FBI who was convicted of a murder; in 1994, the novel was streamed into a TV movie named “Betrayed by Love”.
The same year, her second novel, a teen crime drama about the murder of Shanda Sharer entitled “Cruel Sacrifice”, hit the shelves, and instantly claimed a place on The New York Times’ bestseller’s list. Her third book covering the topic of transgender hate – “All She Wanted” – was adapted into the Oscar-winning biography drama movie, featuring Hilary Swank in the main role.
In 2004, Aphrodite published another bestseller – “A Perfect Husband” – which in 2007 was made into the critically acclaimed crime drama movie “The Staircase Murders”. Her most recent publication includes the 2007 novel entitled “Michael Jackson Conspiracy”, which covers the child molestation charges against the “King of Pop” as well as the trial itself.
Aphrodite Jones’s Appearance and Social Media presence
The exact body measurements of Aphrodite haven’t been publicly disclosed so far, but according to her frequent public appearances it can be concluded that this 59-year-old crime expert and media personality sports a toned figure which, in addition to her long dark hair and dark colored eyes, makes her look quite alluring. Speaking of social media networks, Jones is active on Twitter, where she has amassed a total of more than 11,500 followers.
