Amber Hunt is a journalist and true crime author. After covering local news at small papers in Iowa and Michigan, Hunt was hired at the ''Detroit Free Press'', where she covered crime for nearly eight years.〔()〕 In 2005, she won the Al Nakkula Award for Police Reporting. In 2007 and 2008, she appeared on NBC's ''Dateline'' program, first in an episode called "The Valentine's Day Mystery" and then in "Disappearance at the Dairy Queen" (later renamed "The Case of the Girl Who Never Came Home.") Hunt's fourth book, released in December 2014, is "The Kennedy Wives: Triumph and Tragedy in America's Most Public Family," co-written with longtime friend David Batcher. As of Dec. 11, 2014, it had a 4.5 rating on Goodreads. Hunt's first true crime book was ''Dead But Not Forgotten,'' released in August 2010, which examined the 1990 murder of Barbara George, a 32-year-old mother of two whose husband Michael was arrested in 2007 for the suburban Detroit shooting. Hunt's book, released prior to Michael George's second trial in the case, was accused of undermining the prosecution's key witness.
