ep 2601 Stick Murder 02.02.2026

When a murder is called in my mind we will solve it.  We don't know how but we will solve it.  This case proves that murders are complicated.

ep 2503 John Brown 24.11.2025

ep 2408 Is it a Crime? 01.12.2024

Who is in charge of the. investigation when the investigation is not clear cut?  When a confession of intent is needed the person in charge is the criminal.   Not real comforting if you care about preventing the next one.

ep 2407. What are you Doing here? 06.10.2024

Melanie Morgan was a cub reporter in Kansas City, Mo. when she was walking through the lobby of the Alameda Plaza Hotel.  She followed cops up the elevator to the ninth floor and saw Louise Vilott dead on the floor.  This case from 1978 has haunted Melanie and she is till on the hunt to name a killer.  The reason I used tip sheets.   Cannot tell the players without a program.

ep 2406 Prepare as if you are Blind 29.08.2024

If the leaders can not come up with a better briefing than the Trump Rally I suggest we blindfold the leaders and describe the area of threats.  We should be better than that.  The murder case is a good one for the patrol cops.  Look outside the tape.

ep 2405 09.07.2024

Fake drugs, even in pill form, will make people angry.  Where can we intervene?  Everywhere we must save'em early, home, school.  Before another body drops.

ep 2404. Revelation before Reckoning 15.05.2024

The criminal that has a conscience is in prison even if it is not revealed what they did.  True evil exists but most killers will reveal themselves if law enforcement has not touched them yet.  Killers touch a lot of lives in a negative way.  The pain the killers feel is a part of the punishment.

ep 2403 Save'em Where you See'em 29.03.2024

Recovering from addiction or a special affliction is possible.  Dr. Bill wrote a book published in 1939 that is used today to help people find Hope from addiction.  This story has terrible loss and redemption in different places and times.  I leave with this keep coming back and you can see a lot when you stop.

ep 2401 The System can Work! 08.01.2024

This episode murder case has the suspect at 15 going into the system.  He works the program and at 24 delivers my mail.   Leaders spread the rewards and shoulders the pain alone.  It all works.

ep 2308 Lead Even if you Do Not Like It 24.11.2023

Critiques and hearing what you do not want to hear when it makes a difference is an example of a true leader.

ep 2307 Dang it. LEAD! 21.10.2023

Leaders have to consider a lot of factors when imposing themselves in cases.  Legitimate leaders are everywhere and to lead is an art.  A twist to true crime.

ep 23-06 Domestics Hurt a Lot 25.08.2023

Killing your domestic partner and killing your kids is a crime that affects more than family.  Think before you act.  A LOT of people would prefer to be inconvenienced for an hour than live with your selfish actions forever.

ep 2303 Be True to your Brand 21.03.2023

Middle School kids are not much different than the adults mingling the prison system.  They deny and cheat and steal and lie to your face.  This episode talks about this and that I have recovered imitation marijuana liquid cartridge.  Sell it an you could end up dead.

ep 2302. Protect and Serve no Stop and Kill! 31.01.2023

I am a proponent for targets Task Forces and I have ran three of them in my time that were successful and award winning.  I have also advocated for the disbanding of the Task Force due to it going off track.   Memphis specialty unit that killed Nichols was off track and needed to be better supervised.  When specific Task Forces are needed they work.  Never along term solution as a Real Crime Cente...

ep2301 Education and Crime 09.01.2023

This episode explains a bit about the solving of the Idaho 4 murders.  Baseball and how it relates to crime and healing and public schools.  Plus an inside look at how we work long hours,  sometimes 28 hours in a day to keep kids safe.

ep 2207 Idaho Four 28.11.2022

After watching "Experts" give their opinions on the University of Idaho students killed I took a pause and said what if it happened here.   Then I said experience matters and we have had killings like this and unlike some we solved them.  Stay turned!

ep 2206 Stay Sober 27.10.2022

When cleaning a crime scene a sober mindset is needed.  If not you will just smear blood everywhere and hide a decomposing body under the bed.  An addictive mind is no match for a TPD Homicide.
