Girardot got his start in journalism as a copy boy at the Los Angeles Herald-Examiner.[3] Subsequent to the newspaper's closing, he worked for the Ontario Daily Report, the San Gabriel Valley Tribune and the Pasadena Star-News. His 1994 story on the unsolved murder of Geneva Hilliker Ellroy, the mother of novelist James Ellroy resulted in Ellroy's book,"My Dark Places".[4] He has won several writing awards including the Southern California Press Association's award for Investigative Journalism 1995, the Los Angeles Press Club's First Place Award for sportswriting in 1998 and was a finalist for the 2015 University of Florida Award for Investigative Data Journalism in 2015.[5] Girardot headed a project for the Los Angeles Newspaper Group titled "Getting Away with Murder." The effort chronicled 11,242 homicides that occurred in Los Angeles County between 2000 and 2010. Relying on data supplied by the Los Angeles County Department of Coroner the project found that less than 50 percent of all homicides that occurred countywide were ever solved.[6]
With Burl Barer off at some artsy-fartsy art show in Marina Del Rey, Howard Lapides and Mark Boyer team up to get even more dirt on Burl from Frank who is Burl's co-author (with Ken Eurell) on Betrayal in Blue, and A Taste for Murder.
