Career
A native of Boston, Massachusetts, McPhee was named the first female police bureau chief for the New York Daily News, where she worked for nearly 10 years. She was the recipient of the 2002 New York Society of the Silurian’s Feature News Award for an article titled “The Days After” about the September 11, 2001 attack.[1]
McPhee returned to Boston in 2004, where she was a weekly columnist and police bureau chief for the Boston Herald until late 2007.[2] She continued writing a weekly column for the paper and also freelanced news stories.
From December 2007 to November 2010, McPhee hosted a talk show on WTKK. Her contract was not renewed, because of creative differences, and she was slated to leave that December but was instead pulled from the air immediately.[3]
On January 13, 2011, McPhee joined WRKO as its 1 to 3 p.m. radio host.[4] Her stint with the station lasted seven months, ending in mid August.[5]
In August 2011, McPhee was hired as a general assignment reporter for WCVB-TV Channel 5 in Boston. News producer Andrew Vrees, in a news release, described McPhee as “an aggressive and well-connected journalist ... whose track record speaks for itself."[6]
McPhee was a story consultant for the Lifetime made-for-TV movie based on the Clark Rockefeller case that aired in March 2010.
Books
She has written several best-selling true crime books, “Mob Over Miami”, “Heartless – The True Story of Neil Entwistle and the Brutal Murder of His Wife and Baby”, “When Evil Rules”, “A Date With Death, The True Story of the Craigslist Killer,” and “A Mob Story.”
“Mob Over Miami” was set to become a feature film titled “UnMade Man.” [7] In January 2011, Lifetime aired a television movie based on her “A Date With Death, The True Story of the Craigslist Killer,” starring William Baldwin.
