NEW YORK (AP) Michelle McNamara, a crime writer and wife of comedian and actor Patton Oswalt, has died at her home in Los Angeles, according to Oswalts publicist. McNamara was 46.
Kevin McLaughlin of Main Stage Public Relations said Friday that McNamara died in her sleep Thursday. No cause was given but McLaughlin said her passing was a complete shock to her family and friends, who loved her dearly.
McNamara graduated from the University of Notre Dame and received a masters degree in creative writing from the University of Minnesota. She founded the website True Crime Diary, which covers both breaking stories and cold cases.
In a 2007 online interview, McNamara said she started the blog almost as a lark. I wanted to get more involved in the cases that were fueling my own curiosity, she said.
