RICHARD FOSCHINO was born in New
York City in 1947 and grew up in the
Catskill Mountains of New York State. In
1979 he moved his family from New York
State to East Tennessee, settling in a small
town about twenty-five miles north of
Knoxville.
After serving three years as Chief of Public
Safety for the City of Norris, Tennessee he
joined the Anderson County Sheriff's
Department, became Chief of Detectives,
and rose to the rank of Chief Deputy.
The greatest challenge of his law enforcement
career was the assignment of a series of
unsolved murders that occurred in remote
areas of the county years ago.
Now, more than twenty years later he has
put the first of his "cold case" investigations
into a form other than a police report. The
result is the fascinating story he calls
MOUNTAIN REVENGE The Frost Bottom
Bones Case.
Still an active, full time police officer he looks
forward to winding down his career and
writing stories that give him the opportunity
to share his excitement, disappointments,
human emotions, and personal satisfaction he
felt when he met the challenges posed by
these "cold case" investigations.
