This discovery led to the bureau's Innocent Images National Initiative. Retired FBI Agent Stacey Perkins discusses her involvement with the creation of this initiative, as well as her work taking down a kingpin behind an international child pornography website.

Why so much effort in making excuses for the prosecution & lying on professional witness resumes ?

Hope the one sidedness of these podcasts concerning this topic doesn't damage Emily's reputation in the long run . . .

Love your podcast but if you were to take a closer look I think you'll see your guest doesn't know what he's talking about.

Odd how this guy labels every "Special Agent" in this story as something like "outstanding", etc . . .

Disappointed much of the facts of this case have been ignored in this podcast. Much more could have been covered in the time it was allotted.

Great episode. The good FBI that the FBI leadership often stains. The field personnel are to be respected. The top, lately, not so much.

One of the best episodes in so many ways. From appreciating what first responders go through to what those close to them feel and experience to what is sometimes needed for one reason or another what we can do to help others and how we can respond when we need help. This episode has so many facets that connect all through one person's experience that shows how we may all touch others if we just are open to the needs of others.

How many child border crossers end up like the victims of this episode. And what is Biden's cut in opening and keeping open the border.

Why John keeps chumming for distractions when he very well knows who killed his daughter is un-understandable. He could just as well let it settle and be forgotten.

I remember this story when it happened realtime. I now know the whole story as an adult. God Bless all of the people who were directly effected by this horrible event. What a brave person to come so very far working through the emotional and mental aftermath of her enduring such an event.It is sad and completely without foresight for Newsome to pardon the villains without a thought to the mental and emotional health of survivors of such events.

This is a clear case of domestic abuse. It is not as uncommon as you think for the father to kill his children to hurt their mother.

Just finished this episode, and wow, the FBI agent was so transparent. I have heard several stories about these murders, but this one was deep. It left me praying for him, the victims families, and other LE that carry such burdens. Great job on all your podcasts, Emily. You ask all the right questions, in my opinion. God bless you all.
