Sarah disappeared in November 2019 and the Pascagoula, Mississippi Safe Streets Task Force (SSTF) worked with Detective Lieutenant Shane Bozeman of the Jackson County Sheriff's Office to investigate her disappearance. They learned that a 54-year-old man living in Mississippi had hired Sarah to be his BDSM sex slave. At first, he denied knowing where she was. The FBI's Cellular Analysis Survey Team (CAST) was crucial to Jerome and Shane’s resolution of this case.

Retired agent Richard Denholm reviews the missing persons investigation of Jessie Davis, the 9 months-pregnant girlfriend of Canton, Ohio police officer Bobby Cutts Jr. Rich led the case as the supervisor of the Cleveland Division’s Canton Resident Agency. The disappearance became a national news story. The Starks County Sheriff’s Office invited the FBI to provide assistance with interviews of witnesses, and the polygraph examination of Cutts, after which he agreed to show the agents where Davis’s body was buried. Cutts was charged and convicted on seven counts involving the homicide of Davis and her unborn child. Rich also talks about the connection this tragic case had with the investigation of the murder of another 9-months pregnant woman, Laci Peterson. Rich served in the FBI for 22 years.

In part one of this two-part episode, retired Bureau attorney Steve Kramer and retired agent Steve Busch review how Kramer teamed up with Paul Holes, an investigator for the Contra Costa County Sheriff's Office, to use Investigative Genetic Genealogy to generate leads to identify the person known as the Golden State Killer. Different law enforcement agencies spent 43 years trying to find the serial killer. Kramer and Holes took a different approach, and assembled a team that identified Joseph James DeAngelo as the infamous Golden State Killer after only 63 days. Kramer and Busch then teamed up at the Orange County Resident Agency at the Los Angeles Division to form the FBI’s first forensic genetic genealogy team.

Retired agent Steve Bennett reviews a case involving a 15-year-old missing girl who disappeared but returned home after a few weeks. When a relative recovered a piece of paper in Jenny's purse with the name and address of a man living in Minneapolis, MN, police suspected the stranger had something to do with her initial disappearance. After local detectives determined the inter-state aspects of the case were beyond the scope of their small department, the case was referred to the Springfield FBI office and assigned to Steve, who, with assistance from the division’s victim specialist and CART identified the subject who was convicted of Interstate Transportation of a Minor for the Purpose of Sex, under the Mann Act. Steve served in the FBI for 23 years.

Retired Agent Barbara Verica reviews her espionage assignment working as a first-time, untrained, undercover agent (UCA) in Manhattan, gathering intelligence and the evidence to prove that Norwegian diplomat Arne Treholt was selling secrets to the former Soviet Union. The investigation was initiated on behalf of the Norwegian security service who had received information that Treholt, assigned as a member of the Norwegian delegation to the United Nations, was a spy. Barbara’s assignment—move into the apartment next door and track Treholt’s movements. But things quickly became much more complex when Barbara became friends with Treholt's wife.

I remember I had a date with a guy who was military intelligence, and I was a hair twister. He told me that I twirled my hair around my finger because I wanted to leave. I really didn't, but how he thought he could read me so well made me not want to date him again. 😆😆

I normally never feel for the perpetrator, and my heart goes out to Ethan and the bus driver and their families, but Dykes was a Vietnam War vet with most likely, undiagnosed PTSD. He fought for his country in a war that the US denied. His country ignored him and his mental struggles.No wonder he was an angry man. Ron saying Dykes was shot in 'hand to hand' combat is wrong. That is normally fought with NO weapons, hence the 'hand to hand'. He should say that a struggle ensued and Dykes was shot.

Sometimes I wonder why people get mad when politicians have a campaign promise they accomplish and they go, oh yeah, you made him look good. Yes, the president does look good. He got the right resources and people in there to get the job done. Good on him and good on you and that was generous that he wanted to thank you to such lengths.

I find some of the men Jerri interviews tend to interrupt her A LOT. I know she is very close to them, and she has a lot of respect for them. They should show their respect for her and the great job she does in this podcast and let her finish her sentence before they start talking!!!

I think we can all agree that paying our state reps now won't reduce corruption. Corruption is about greed. No matter how much money they already get legally, they want more.

I'm sorry, he's had a great life and was very successful, but that is not hard in college to work a part-time job and go to school. I took overloaded semesters, worked 3 jobs, volunteered for a local aquarium, and raised my child alone for 3 years. I just find it humorous when people think they struggled because of minimal things. He was lucky, and he should acknowledge he got his start on privilege.

As much as I respect the FBI and the former director, was it really appropriate to have a prayer to start the dinner? I personally feel like that would make some attendees feel excluded, especially since it is a government organization that serves its public and citizens who are given the constitutional right of freedom of religion.

I really got tired of the serial killer in Criminal Minds targeting, taunting, and stalking the FBI agents themselves. So unrealistic!!! I stopped watching it because of that.

Do you feel that if our media outlets had been more open and stated that the suspect had an unusually small penis, he would have been identified much sooner? I feel like a woman would have come forward if that was a descriptive identifier.

I agree with Jim that they make all of these agents so flawed, but I also want to mention that especially on Criminal. Minds, the agents were so often the victim. I can't think of a single time that I ever heard of a serial killer targeting an FBI agent or cop.These TV shows need to show the true victims, everyday people who has no idea they were going to become a statistic.

I think it's funny that Jim brings up the now infamous composite sketch and didn't mention that it was proven to NOT be of the Unabomber. That happened to be someone else in the area, and you can see it was not Ted Kaczynski.

That guy, Shane, is a disgrace. I'm an atheist, but man, oh man, I hope there is a special place in hell for him. My heart goes out to those families that lost their REAL veterans in that parade. How terrible to get your family member back, injured but alive, just to lose them in a freak accident.

With Roe vs. Wade overturned. This is the direction of the US now for abortions. Back alley and covert abortions will become more prevalent, and they won't be trading for guns or by unlicensed medical professionals.
