LISE OLSEN is an investigative reporter, editor and author based in Houston who has uncovered many twisted tales, including crooked judges, an unjust execution, massive environmental disasters, myriad cases of corruption, and unsolved serial killings. Her reports in three states over 20 years contributed to the prosecutions of a former congressman and a federal judge, inspired laws and reforms, helped solve cold cases, restored names to unidentified murder victims, and freed dozens of wrongfully-held prisoners. She is currently investigations editor at The Texas Observer and previously served as deputy investigations editor at the Houston Chronicle. Her work has also appeared in Inside Climate News, NBC News, Texas Monthly, AARP the Magazine, and other outlets. She is featured in several documentaries, including Netflix's The Texas Killing Fields, CNN's The Wrong Man, The Pillowcase Murders on Paramount+, and the six-part A&E series The Eleven.

Her first book, Code of Silence, won the Texas Institute of Letters' Carr P. Collins Award for Best Book of Nonfiction and the Investigative Reporters & Editors' (IRE) Book Award in 2022. Her second book, The Scientist and the Serial Killer, was published in April by Random House. She has given presentations about her work in more than a dozen countries for public libraries, legal groups, book clubs, book festivals, and journalism organizations.
