Informant susan daniels smith6/18/2023 ![]() It's not clear exactly when Smith and Putnam's relationship went from professional to sexual, but sometime in 1988, they started sleeping together. However, " The FBI Encyclopedia" notes that Smith remained on the FBI payroll even after Lockhart's trial. And some sources claim that Smith got the full $5,000 from Putnam for her information and cooperation during the trial. All in all, none of them were likeable and pretty much deserved each other.The information provided by Smith ended up leading to the FBI's apprehension of Carl Edwards "Cat Eyes" Lockhart by the end of 1987 after she told Putnam that the target had ski masks and sawed-off shotguns at her home, The New York Post writes. He didn't have any redeeming features and neither did his wife. It's hardly the affair of the century when he pays her for every encounter, is it ? ![]() The fact she came home with hundreds of dollars after meeting up with her FBI lover only illustrated to me she was no better than a prostitute. What's more shocking is that it wasn't her bank robber or druggie pals that did the deed !! She wasn't a nice person with any real morals at all. It's not a shock she ended up killed the way she behaved playing people off against each other. I found that I had very little sympathy for Susan at all. We learn about this affair but not really how it began which I'd consider was pretty germane to the whole point of the book but there you go.there are countless women called Kathy in it too which made it confusing, there are a lot of siblings and their partners mentioned too, quite needlessly in most cases and it was all a bit scrappy and poorly executed, I thought. It's really not very well written at all. (But he is still believing the fbi agent)ĭeleted this after wading through 38% of it. There is a movie coming out and that was why his book was re published for the kindle and he said he could edit it and make his book better. That being said, I was still pondering is I would want to read the other book so leave it on my wish list, but then when I visited the author's website I read he did have contact when he wrote his book a very long time ago with the agent but he believed the agent story while Aphrodite does not and I do not either.I do think his book will be better. Because of that there is a lot of info that is missing and his character is not really known Well cold as ice and his wife was also not a very sympathetic person it seemed. It was also obvious to me that this author only had contact with one side so she did not talk with the former fbi guy and his wife. Very selfish, no morals, lying setting people up just for money or and sex. The victim (I thought she would kill him) was a horrible person. Definitely very confusing with lots of people and let's be honest, all the main characters were not very likeable people. So I was on the verge of buying the other book but had already spent so much on books and games so i did not and decided to read this. While reading I discovered that a book I very much wanted and had just put on my wishlist because of the writer Joe Sharkey that this book was about the same case. ![]() The FBI Killer recounts the bizarre events that forced Mark Putnam to confess to brutally killing his lover, then covering up his crime for more than a year.įinished yesterday.
