Monte Francis: Journalist, writer and award-winning television news reporter

Emmy Award-winning journalist Monte Francis

Monte Francis is a journalist and writer based in San Francisco, California. A native of Mentor, Ohio, he has received four Emmy Awards for his television news reports and several awards, including Reporter of the Year, from the Associated Press Television and Radio Association. He has covered several high-profile murder cases and his first book, By Their Father’s Hand: The True Story of the Wesson Family Massacre, was published by HarperCollins in 2007.

Monte reporting live from the crash site of Asiana Airlines Flight 214, in San Francisco, July 6, 2013.

By Their Father’s Hand is a chilling true story of incest, abuse, madness, and murder, and one family’s terrible and ultimately fatal ordeal at the hands of a powerful, manipulative man—a cultist who envisioned vengeful gods and vampires, and totally controlled those closest to him before their world came to a brutal and bloody halt.
