  • John talks 4x as much as his cohosts

    Good content but I genuinely wish that he’d give us the opportunity for us to hear from the other agents. His passion is understandable but I’d love to hear other points of view. It gives mansplaining for me.

  • Too much mansplaining

    The Maya episodes from 2023 are so off - and so rude to the invited guest. Does Jim talk over and yell at everyone? Someone needs to tell him the volume at which he speaks doesn’t make his point any more correct.

  • Not well researched

    Tried to listen to their podcast on Celeste Rivas but it seems like they did no research AT ALL. Like even I know about their discord chats. How they met etc. thumbs down don’t release a podcast if you don’t know what’s going on.

  • A fine line between outrage ...and rage !Since Ms Richards departure from the podcast ,it seems to have gotten somewhat more unhinged with the male host frequently getting carried away and bordering on rage that simply conveys very little.The female host seems to unfortunately be there just to nod and hum along ,shame she does seem intelligent and professional but is being made into a sounding board for the other host.An excellent podcast once upon a time ,may it find its way back to that soon.

#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.

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.
