It had taken five days after the toddler’s murder for the cops to seal the home as a crime scene. It was a year before her clothes were sent to a crime lab. The police never separated the suspects before they interviewed them—so they had time to coordinate their stories. The cops never charged anyone, even though they called Juliette’s death a homicide. And when the principal witnesses and/or suspects left the state, law enforcement threw up its hands and just moved on. The more I read, the more furious I became. This was a little girl who had never had a chance, even in death. Juliette’s aunt had been leading a petition drive that would compel a grand jury to be convened and a special prosecutor to be appointed to investigate the unsolved crime. But Juliette’s story needed national attention to help Monica garner the necessary signatures. Your mom didn’t want to say goodbye to you. She was convinced she was going to get better,” my dad explained years later. As much as I couldn’t believe she’d leave me, Mom couldn’t believe it either.

Guerrero previously wrote the book, Jewelry For Your Table, a how-to crafts treatise on table setting, published in 2016. [15] I love how she didn't shy away from some of the deep and heartbreaking moments she encompassed upon in her life. Lisa is an inspiration to many, and I highly recommend this book to anyone & everyone! She writes: “I just confirmed everything that had been said about me … I was that stupid bimbo. She’s an idiot — she doesn’t even know what players she’s interviewing!”

I wasn’t some cop in an interrogation room wearing down a victim after hours of questioning—I was a reporter with a microphone. I had two witnesses throwing Dustin Chauncey under the bus. Townsend admitted on camera that Dustin had beaten the baby before.

I wasn’t sure yet. But I told him I’d like to meet and interview Monica and see where the story would lead. When Charles Lachman, our executive producer, gave it the green light, I headed to Gering, the remote town in Nebraska where Juliette had lived and died. I met with Monica, and we toured the home where Juliette had been killed. Then Monica played me the tape recording of her conversation with Doug Warner, the district attorney handling the case. Mom and I never spoke about what had happened. And maybe if she had lived beyond her twenty-nine years, the incident would have been just one of many stories about my fierce mom. But this moment has become how I remember my mom—beautiful, strong, and larger than life. She wouldn’t let anyone insult her or her family. As we walked out of the store, I was overcome with pride for this woman whom I would lose in less than a year. I remember that moment like it was yesterday. My dad gently roused us from sleep early on Valentine’s Day. This is a mixed bag. Some very interesting stories combined with the author's skimming over important life details, then spending too much time complaining about the consequences she suffered from making very bad decisions. It makes for a quirky, entertaining and worthwhile book, but it doesn't have the kind of impact Lisa Guerrero wants and detracts from any credibility she thinks she has as a so-called "investigative journalist."

Her pregame scenarios tend to also include the possibility that the interview subject might simply make a break for it. When it comes to her latest career of being an "investigative journalist," the few examples she gives actually show her weaknesses in the job and using it for advocacy, failing to have an objective approach to her subjects on Inside Edition. So while Guerrero may be an interviewer and may do "reporting" in the most simplistic sense, she is not a trained objective journalist and (to be honest) isn't that great on the air. Her stilted talking style and emphasis on looks basically make her come across as the cheerleader-actress she started as. In total, Guerrero has won over 35 national journalism awards and honors since becoming Inside Edition's chief investigative correspondent in 2010. Guerrero wrote a memoir titled Warrior: My Path to Being Brave which was published by Hachette Books in January 2023. [14] I delivered my live report. I was dizzy and nauseated but reminded myself to stand up straight. During our Wednesday phone calls, Freddie would ream me out for bad posture. The pain was excruciating. I heard myself mispronounce a player’s name and knew I’d hear about it later. As soon as I finished, I raced off to interview a coach. Then I headed to the bathroom. As I sat on the toilet, I couldn’t believe the blood pouring out of me. It had soaked through my pants. I shoved a bunch of paper towels in my underwear.”
