Heart of the Matter with Elizabeth Vargas
[link removed]
In the latest episode of Heart of the Matter, Elizabeth Vargas is
joined by investigator Paul Holes, New York Times bestselling author
of "Unmasked: My Life Solving America's Cold Cases."
Paul is known for his role in helping to solve high-profile homicide
cases, including the notorious Golden State Killer. But his crime
fighting success was masked by what was going on with Paul personally.
He spent decades with unresolved anxiety and panic attacks, eventually
turning to alcohol as a way to cope with the stress.
Together, Paul and Elizabeth discuss how his own anxiety changed the
way he views his cold cases; and his own experiences in the law
enforcement community, including how making himself vulnerable is
opening the door to more honest mental health discussions.
