    Jim Fitzgerald keeps mentioning how good certain women in law enforcement positions he came across look, their appearance. By the 3rd time it was getting awkward. What these women look like is irrelevant, it’s not a beauty podcast. We listen to this podcast to hear the law enforcement professionals experiences and their take on current crimes, not the JF’s taste in women. Tacky and slightly creepy.

    (Sounded more like the Jim’s reunion episodes by the way.)

  • Still interrupting

    Jim clearly isn’t capable of letting anyone else talk without interrupting. When does it stop? His expertise is being overshadowed by his indignation, yelling and interruptions!!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#580: A Journey To The FBI Reunion 2
Q: What kind of career advice would you give to a Bensalem Police Department officer who's interested in doing what you've done?
Stick with your department if you like it, take it seriously, and consider the FBI or other federal agencies if you want a broader perspective.
#570: Surviving Ohio State gets personal continued
Q: What led to your courageous voice in 2018?
A conversation with Mark Coleman about the Nassar case sparked a realization that similar abuses happened to us at Ohio State. It was a tipping point that led me to gather evidence and speak out against the doctor.
#553: Double mystery in connecticut part 1
Q: Was there any physical evidence found linking Richard to the crime?
There were some fragments of remains found, but they were never confirmed as Heli's. Much of the case relied on circumstantial evidence and the prosecution's theory of motive due to financial issues stemming from their divorce.
#553: Double mystery in connecticut part 1
Q: What can you tell us about the incident that led to Heli Crafts’ disappearance?
Heli Crafts disappeared during a contentious divorce with Richard Crafts. The police investigated and eventually arrested Richard for first-degree murder due to circumstantial evidence linking him to her case.
#550: Geo-Forensics 2
Q: Have you ever tried cognitive interviewing with them?
Yes, cognitive interviewing is used with offenders, focusing on retracing their steps and utilizing detailed recall techniques.
