Please stop calling a 13 year old a woman!!!! She is a child!!!!! Your guest you interviewed should absolutely know this as law enforcement! Words matter! This appauls me!

… you can’t do better than this podcast!
Mike Hammond was an excellent Violent Crime detective in Chicago for many years, and I know that for a fact because as a prosecutor, we worked on many cases together!
With this new podcast, Mike walks us through the facts of a case, but frames the case in the interesting details that only the detectives know. The facts that might help solve the case!

Great podcasts from an exceptional Chicago Homicide Detective! I love how Mike brings multiple people to the podcast with their perspective of the investigation including family members of the victim.

This is why I love podcasts, true stories from people who lived the story. Mr. Hammond delivers a thrilling and informative ride inside Chicago crime and those effected the most by its pernicious effects. Save this podcast!!!
