WOW: I had meeting and dinner with '48 Hours Mystery' producer charged with trying to extort money from David Letterman
The CBS 48 Hours Mystery producer being charged today with trying to extort $2 million from David Letterman is the producer of the show I appeared in. He's been in my living room!
Joe Halderman came out to the Daily Breeze last year, met with me and then returned later for the filming. We went to dinner at McCormick and Schmick's in El Segundo along with the sound man, camerman and correspondent Peter Van Sant. (I had an expensive meal on CBS, thank you very much and sat next to Halderman.)
The show, "Conspiracy to Kill," about the "Lomita Black Widow" Sonia Rios Risken, aired in February and then a few weeks ago as a repeat. I just saw Halderman's picture in the New York Post and flipped.
Wow. This is wild!

i feel no pity
hope these people's home life get
destroyed and become poster childs for jerry springer
and he ridicules Sarah Palin's daughter
this guy is going down in ratings, it's over dave
you lost credibility.
So Halderman takes a $2-million extortion dollar check from Letterman and deposits it in his bank account?
Obviously not a very sharp guy...
I am glad they caught this loser!!! It is funny, he and Dave both work for CBS. Dave came clean last night on his show, he has nothing to hide. This is all about the guy paying child support and blackmail. I hope he gets the 15 year sentence.

He's been a Crook for years "Larry" (People who live in Glass Houses shouldn't throw stones)
He's no different from the people that appear
in the crime stories He Producers!
Good For "David Letterman", For Nailing this Crook to the Wall!
Halderman's a low life but Dave insults all women when he abuses his staff and family. I'll never watch him again.
I don't watch any of the late night shows. I quit back in '60's when I saw John Carson lose his mind one about Nixon. I decided that late night hosts were out of control and not worth my time.
How are you going to walk into a bank and expect to cash a 2 million dollar check?? bad move, idiot deserved to get caught.
Larry. This is not fair, I spent two days with Lo Lo Joe when CBS filmed in Olympia.You got wined and dined, I had to bring donuts for everyone both days.I would like to know if Eric got a candy bar or anything. Olylaw..
