Description
Book Name: Under 80 Hours: An Untold True Crime StoryAuthor Name: R. Scott Crabtree (Author)Book Link: https://www.amazon.com/Under-80-Hours-Untold-Crime-ebook/dp/B0FHJ7KH36/refAbout the AuthorR. Scott Crabtree retired from the FBI in 2007, after serving as an agent for nearly 25 years. During his unique and diverse career, Scott worked on numerous high-profile investigations and on cases in all of the FBI’s investigative programs (i.e., white collar, terrorism, counterintelligence, cyber, and civil rights). While Scott served in multiple field offices during his career, he is one of a scant few FBI agents to have served in the FBI’s largest field office (New York City), its smallest office (a “one-man” resident agency), and also at FBIHQ. In the immediate aftermath of the Oklahoma City bombing, Scott performed numerous critical and time-sensitive investigative tasks in Central Kansas, including conducting an extensive interview of bombing suspect Terry Nichols. Scott later testified in multiple hearings and in the trials of both Nichols and Timothy McVeigh. Prior to joining the FBI, Scott served in the Marine Corps and, after retiring, he worked for the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. Looking back, Scott is incredibly appreciative of the significant opportunities that unfolded for him throughout his career, and his desire in writing this book is to provide a never-told version of his first few frantic, non-stop days of investigation after the Oklahoma City bombing.00:00 Intro & Motivation01:16 Becoming an Author02:41 FBI’s Role08:11 Case Aftermath13:09 Emotional Impact18:11 Book Insights23:10 Final Thoughts
