# Talk:Roy McGrath

During McGrath's manhunt, a self-published e-book titled Betrayed: The True Story of Roy McGrath was listed on Amazon by an unknown author who gave the name Ryan C. Cooper. He claims that this book is based on McGrath's own manuscripts and interviews between him and the author, and the book makes several claims that were relevant to his federal and state trials, including claims that Hogan had approved his severance payment. However, the book makes these claims without providing any actual evidence, and McGrath's wife says she doesn't even know who Cooper is. A second book was released just a few days ago, this time covering more details about his time as the MES director.
When I was writing this page last night, I decided against mentioning these books, seeing that individuals close to McGrath and the trial had disputed its contents. However, I'd like to get some consensus before I totally close the door on including anything about the book on this page. Would it be appropriate to mention these books on the page?

I've decided to add a paragraph about these books following new reports that showed that McGrath was Ryan C. Cooper. Y2hyaXM (talk) 00:46, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
