In a lot of ways, Lincoln Heights, Ohio, sounds just like any other suburb. If you walk around town, you'll hear kids playing outside the local elementary school. You'll hear the highway that takes commuters down to Cincinnati. At the woods on the edge of town, the birdsong is delightful. The town feels calm and peaceful - at least, until the gunfire starts. Most weekdays, it begins in the morning, and lasts through the afternoon. Sometimes it goes past sundown, and occasionally into the weekends. Once the shooting begins, it comes in rapid-fire waves throughout the day. People say it makes it hard to focus or relax, and those who work the night shift say they can't sleep.The noise of gunfire isn't from street violence. It all comes from an open-air gun range that's owned by the Cincinnati Police Department.Home on the Range

After 20 years, the quest for justice may finally be nearing its end for the family of Herman Brown. Robert Stewart, a 64-year-old man, has been indicted for a murder that has remained unsolved for two decades.    The Scene of the Crime    On a chilly day on February 15, 2003, a distressing call came into the Cincinnati Police Department. A concerned 911 caller reported a "strong odor coming from the apartment" located at 2572 Sarvis Court. Responding to the call, officers embarked on what was expected to be a routine welfare check. However, the scene they encountered was anything but ordinary.    Inside the apartment, they found the lifeless body of Herman Brown "lying naked on the floor." The grim setting was accentuated by the presence of stab wounds on Brown's body and an extension cord that was tightly wound around his neck. Further investigations revealed the presence of blood in the bathroom sink, indicating a struggle or an attempt to clean up after the crime.    Vital Evidence Left Behind    At the time of discovery, the Prosecutor's Office revealed that the investigators had collected a number of key evidence from the crime scene. Among these were six cigarette butts, a DNA swab from Brown's genitals, and the aforementioned blood sample from the bathroom sink.    An analysis of the blood sample showed the presence of two distinct DNA profiles. One was, understandably, from the victim. But the second one, which also matched the DNA found on Brown's genitals and the cigarette butts, belonged to an unidentified individual.    Despite the presence of such clear evidence, the investigators were faced with a daunting challenge. They couldn't match the unidentified DNA profile to any known individual in their database. As the days turned into months and months into years, the leads dried up. The case, like so many before it, went cold.    A Renewed Hope    But as Hamilton County Prosecutor Melissa Powers confidently remarked, "These dedicated detectives never give up on their cases. They never give up on their victims. They will continue to investigate until the case is solved — no matter how long it takes." Her words rang true when, two decades later, a glimmer of hope emerged.    Making use of advances in forensic science, investigators decided to revisit the case. They re-extracted the unidentified DNA profile, this time from the cigarette butts. Submitting this to a forensic genetic genealogy search, a process which has revolutionized cold case investigations in recent years, they identified a potential suspect: Robert Stewart.    Further detailed analysis sealed the deal, verifying beyond a doubt that Stewart was the source of the DNA found scattered at the crime scene.    The Arrest    Upon identifying Stewart as a prime suspect, the police acted swiftly. Stewart was apprehended in Lima, Ohio, on September 15. After the arrest, he was promptly extradited back to Hamilton County, where he now awaits his fate in the Hamilton County Justice Center. A bond has been set at a staggering $500,000.    As for the charges, the Oct. 2 news release from Hamilton County Prosecutor Melissa Powers elucidated that Stewart has been indicted on two counts of murder and an additional count of felonious assault in connection with Herman Brown's death. If found guilty, he may potentially face a life sentence.    In Conclusion    The tragic death of Herman Brown and the subsequent twenty-year-long pursuit of justice is a testament to the perseverance of our law enforcement agencies. While it's still early days in the legal proceedings against Robert Stewart, one thing is clear: detectives and forensic experts, armed with determination and the latest in scientific advancements, have brought hope to a case that once seemed lost in the annals of time.    The developments in this case serve as a beacon of hope for countless other unsolved cases, reminding us that justice, no matter how delayed, can still be attained.

Control your Mind so it Doesn't Control You Imagine Your Life when you practice smarter self-talk  Episode 164 (Terry is based in Denver, CO) In this conversation with Terry Tucker we explore: The self talk journey when facing horrible circumstances How to transition from blame to taking responsibility The positive energy from helping others How to listen to understand Communication lessons from hostage negotiation How to say constructive messages to self Start a new venture with baby steps Where to focus our energy when facing challenging conditions About our guest, Terry Tucker: Terry is a former SWAT Team Hostage Negotiator with the Cincinnati Police Department. He has trained with FBI's Hostage Negotiation Team. He's a cancer survivor.   He is the author of the book, Sustainable Excellence, Ten Principles to Leading Your Uncommon and Extraordinary Life. Get your copy of his book ----- Excerpts from this conversation with Terry Tucker: And then she looked at me and she said, well, well, Coach, what do you think my purpose is, I said, I have no idea what your purpose is. But that's what your life should be about finding the reason you were put on the face of this earth, using your unique gifts and talents and living that reason. So that was one conversation. And then I had a young man reach out to me from college on social media and asked me what I thought were the most important things, he should learn not to just be successful in his job or in business, but to be successful in life. And you know, George, I didn't, I didn't want to give them that, you know, get up early, work hard, help others kind of not that those aren't important. Those are incredibly important. And I wanted to see if I could go deeper with them. So I spent some time taking some notes and eventually had these these 10 thoughts, these 10 ideas, these 10 principles. And so I sent them to him. And then I stepped back and I was like, you know, I got a life story that fits underneath that principle, or I know somebody's life emulates this principle. So literally, I've been battling cancer for 11 years after I had my leg amputated. And before I started chemotherapy, I had a three or four month period where I was healing. I sat down at the computer every day, and I built stories and there were real stories about real people underneath each of the principles. And that's how sustainable excellence came to be. ----- Most people think with their fears and their insecurities instead of using their minds. And I know I've done that in my life, Georgia, and I've been like, Oh, I'd like to do this. Oh, wait a minute, you know, Am I smart enough? Or do I have enough information? Or what will people think about me? If I fail in this endeavor that's thinking with our fears and our insecurities, that's not thinking with our minds. And I always tell especially when I speak in person to young people always tell him if there's something in your heart, something in your soul that you believe you're supposed to do, but it scares you. Go ahead and do it. Because at the end of your life, the things you're going to regret are not going to be the things you did, they're going to be those things you didn't do. And by then it's going to be too late to go back and do. ----- ----more---- Your host is George Torok George is a specialist in executive communication skills.

I have reinvented myself frequently over my professional career. After I graduated from college at The Citadel (where I played NCAA Division I basketball), I was employed in the Marketing Department at the corporate headquarters of Wendy's International in Dublin, Ohio. From there, I worked in hospital administration for Riverside Methodist Hospital in Columbus, Ohio. After getting married and moving to California, I became the Customer Service Manager for an academic publishing company in Santa Barbara. When our daughter was born and we moved to Cincinnati, Ohio, I became a police officer with the Cincinnati Police Department, where I was a SWAT Hostage Negotiator. In 2004, I obtained my Masters degree from Boston University. Following a family relocation to Texas, I started a school security consulting business and coached high school girls basketball. Each time I took on a new job, I had to develop new skills and faced different challenges. There was always a significant learning curve with every new position. But my greatest challenge began in 2012 when I was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer called Acral Lentiginous Melanoma, which presented on the bottom of my foot. By the time the cancer was detected, it had metastasized to a lymph node in my groin. Because my disease is extremely rare I was treated at the world-renowned MD Anderson Cancer Center. I had two surgeries to remove the tumors, and after I healed, I was put on a weekly injection of the drug, Interferon, to help keep the disease from returning. I realize pain and discomfort can beat you to your knees and keep you there if you let it. But I also came to appreciate that I could use my hurting and anguish to harden my mind and make me more resolute. I was no better at dealing with pain and discomfort than the next person. But every day, I found a way to survive, with the knowledge that I would need to do it again the following morning. I wrote my book, Sustainable Excellence, Ten Principles to Leading Your Uncommon and Extraordinary Life to help people find and live their uncommon and extraordinary purpose. The ten principles outlined in the book will provide the bedrock necessary to form the foundation of unshakable beliefs and dedicated behaviors to reinforce your attitude, no matter how much pain you must endure or how many obstacles you must overcome. Sustainable Excellence is available on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08GLGVTVS), Barnes & Noble.com, (https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/sustainable-excellence-terry-tucker/1137534840), or anywhere you can get a book online. ​ Unfortunately, my cancer experience hasn't ended with me conquering my disease. The melanoma that had plagued me for over five years returned in 2017, and my only treatment option was the amputation of my left foot in 2018. The cancer reemerged again in 2019, requiring multiple operations. In February 2020, an undiagnosed tumor fractured my tibia. My only remedy, in the middle of the COVID pandemic, was an above the knee amputation of my left leg. I also learned I have tumors in both of my lungs. But I refused to be a victim of this malignancy. I vowed to continue my fight. I knew the only way cancer could win is if I gave up or gave in to the disease, or it killed me. In addition to my faith, I use my 4 Truths to guide the decisions I make in my life. These 4 Truths are: 1. Control your mind, or it will control you. 2. Embrace the pain and discomfort we all experience in life and use it to make you a stronger and more determined individual. 3. What you leave behind is what you weave in the hearts of other people. 4. As long as you don't quit - you can never be defeated http://www.motivationalcheck.com

Originally UPLOADED May 9, 2022. James Craig was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan. His father, a veteran of the United States Army, served as a reserve police officer at the time of the 1967 Detroit riot, which left a lasting impression on a young James Craig. Craig graduated from Cass Technical High School and joined the Detroit Police Department in 1977, where he was assigned to the 10th Precinct. After being laid off in 1981 due to budget constraints, he moved to Los Angeles where he joined the LAPD. During his tenure as a command officer of the LAPD, Craig was responsible for overseeing many of the most violent areas in Los Angeles and was able to achieve tremendous reductions in crime through the implementation of innovative strategy and by building strong community partnerships. His experience as the president of an African American police association exposed Craig to vitriolic and extreme elements of the Democratic Party and kick-started what had already been a political awakening for the young police officer. His transition in becoming a Republican hastened in 2009 after his appointment as Chief of Police in the City of Portland, Maine. In Portland, the police chief had the responsibility to approve concealed pistol licenses. Often urban police chiefs favor gun control, however, this experience helped him to understand that law abiding citizens with concealed weapons permits can be one of the biggest deterrents for crime. After two years in Portland, Craig was recruited by Cincinnati officials to serve as Chief of Police for the Cincinnati Police Department. Chief Craig was the first African American and first person from outside of Cincinnati to hold the position of Chief of Police. During his tenure as Cincinnati police chief, he was responsible for leading a department of 1,500 sworn and civilian personnel. In 2013, Chief Craig was asked by Governor Rick Snyder to serve as the 42nd Chief of Police to the City of Detroit, his hometown. Over the next eight years, Chief Craig led a department of 2,800 sworn and civilian personnel and achieved great success with propelling the Detroit Police Department into 21st century policing standards. One critical accomplishment came in 2014, when the police department reached compliance from mandated federal consent judgments. Judgements, which were agreed to in 2003 after a Department of Justice investigation, found a pattern of excessive force, civil rights abuses, and a culture of covering up misconduct. Confidence in the Department continued to increase among the city's residents and business owners, in part, due to the establishment of community policing initiatives including Neighborhood Police Officers to focus on quality-of-life issues and Children in Trauma Intervention (CITI) Camp to offer police mentorship to at-risk youth. One component for Detroit's success in reducing levels of violent crime was the increased use of data and analysis to support proactive policing through the Detroit Police Department (DPD) Real Time Crime Center, Community CompStat, Ceasefire Detroit, and Project Green Light Detroit programs. Craig is credited with reducing response times for priority one 911 calls. He has also initiated programs to cut gang membership and authorized large-scale sweeps aimed at protecting Detroit neighborhoods most impacted by crime. During his tenure, Craig built strong ties between the department and community leaders. He is widely recognized for his leadership during the unrest of Summer 2020, as other cities around the country experienced looting, fires, and riots. After 8 years as Chief of Police in his hometown of Detroit and 44 years as a dedicated public servant, Craig retired in June 2021. James Craig is running for Governor of Michigan with a commitment to fix leadership in state government and institute an effective administration that fosters a collaborative environment to drive the vibrancy of the state's economy and communities.

Today's guest has been a college basketball player, Customer Service Manager then after his daughter was born, he became a police officer with the Cincinnati Police Department, where I was a SWAT Hostage Negotiator.   In early 2012 he was diagnosed with a rare form of Melanoma, which presented on the bottom of my foot. By the time the melanoma was detected, it had metastasized to a lymph node in my groin. After two surgeries to remove the tumours, he was put on a weekly injection of the drug, Interferon, to help keep the disease from coming back.  He took those weekly injections for almost 5 years before the Interferon became so toxic to my body that I ended up in the Intensive Care Unit with a fever of 108 degrees.   There were times he felt so poorly and was in so much agony that he prayed to die. Each day was a struggle to use his mind to override his body's apathy and distress. One thing he learnt during all his pain and suffering is that you have two choices. You can succumb to the debilitating discomfort and misery, or you can learn to embrace it and use it to make you a stronger and better human being and he chose the latter. I realize pain and discomfort can beat you to your knees and keep you there if you let it. But I also came to appreciate that I could use my hurting and anguish to make me stronger and more resolute. He has recently written a book, entitled Sustainable Excellence, Ten Principles to Leading Your Uncommon and Extraordinary Life, to help people find and live their uncommon and extraordinary life. His hope is that people who read the book will lead a life of significance, as well as a life of success.  If there is one thing, he's learnt is that as long as you don't quit, you can never be defeated.

I had two surgeries to remove the tumors, and after I healed, I was put on a weekly injection of the drug, Interferon, to help keep the disease from returning.  I took those weekly injections for almost five years before the Interferon became so toxic to my body that I ended up in the Intensive Care Unit with a body temperature of 108 degrees. Fortunately, expert medical care saved my life. The Interferon gave me severe flu-like symptoms for two to three days after each injection. I lost fifty pounds during my therapy, was constantly nauseous, fatigued, and chilled, my ability to taste food significantly diminished, and my body constantly ached. This misery went on for over 1,660 days! One thing I learned during all my pain and discomfort is that you have two choices. You can succumb to the debilitating distress and misery, or you can learn to embrace it and use it to make you a stronger and better human being. I chose the latter. Make no mistake, there were times I felt so poorly and was in so much agony that I prayed to die. Each day was a struggle to use my mind to override my body's apathy and distress. I realize pain and discomfort can beat you to your knees and keep you there if you let it. But I also came to appreciate that I could use my hurting and anguish to make me stronger and more resolute. I was no better at dealing with pain and discomfort than the next person. But every day, I found a way to survive, with the knowledge that I would need to do it again the following morning. I wrote my book, Sustainable Excellence, Ten Principles to Leading Your Uncommon and Extraordinary Life to help people find and live their uncommon and extraordinary purpose. The ten principles outlined in the book will provide the bedrock necessary to form the foundation of unshakable beliefs and dedicated behaviors to reinforce your attitude, no matter how much pain you must endure or how many obstacles you must overcome. Sustainable Excellence is available on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08GLGVTVS), Barnes & Noble.com, (https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/sustainable-excellence-terry-tucker/1137534840), or anywhere you can get a book online. ​ Support the show

Several months after his girlfriend and mother of his two children died of a fatal drug overdose, a 25-year-old man was arrested. Cincinnati Police responded to a deceased person call at 2:50 a.m. on Feb. 15. They found the victim unresponsive, and Cincinnati Fire Department officials declared her dead at the scene. Deandrea Funchess, 24, was identified as the victim. Her death was determined to be a homicide by the Hamilton County Coroner's Office. Mayzio Arnold was arrested by the Cincinnati Police Department on July 13 in connection with the death of Funchess. Initially, Funchess' mother was told she died of a drug overdose, but she said it "never made sense" to her. Following the young mother's death, Funchess' family contacted Arnold so she could talk to her grandchildren. Funchess and Arnold had two children together. The WXIX reports that Funchess was actually "internally decapitated," which means that her skull was separated from her spinal column after she was beaten so severely. It appears that Arnold's bond is set at $750,000 according to Hamilton County Jail records. If you like TRUE CRIME TODAY - Be sure to search and subscribe wherever you download podcasts!

"After I graduated from college at The Citadel, where I played NCAA Division One basketball against Michael Jordan and James Worthy at University of North Carolina in 1982, the year they won the championship, and played against Jim Valvano, coach of 1983 N.C. State National Champions. Right out of college, I was employed in the Marketing Department at the corporate headquarters of Wendy's International in Dublin, Ohio.

There are an estimated 18 million veterans in the United States, and when they are in crisis, law enforcement officers are often the first to make contact with them. However, arrest is not always the best tool, or the only tool, needed to support those who have served. Sergeant Dave Corlett from the Cincinnati Police Department and Ron Michaelson from the Veterans Administration Medical Center join The Beat to discuss their Veterans Response Program and how it can easily be replicated.

My hope is that people who read the book will lead a life of significance, as well as a life of success. Unfortunately, my cancer experience hasn't ended with me conquering my disease. The melanoma that had plagued me for over six years returned in 2017, and my only treatment option was the amputation of most of my left foot in 2018. The cancer reemerged again in 2019, requiring multiple surgeries. In February of 2020, an undiagnosed tumor in my ankle fractured my tibia. My only remedy was the amputation of my left leg above the knee. I am also being treated for tumors in my lungs. But I refused to be a victim of this malignancy. I vowed to continue my fight. I knew the only way cancer could win is if I gave up or gave in to the disease, or it killed me. In addition to my faith, I use my 4 Truths to guide the decisions I make in my life. These 4 Truths, which I have developed over my ten-year battle with melanoma, are: 1. Control your mind, or it will control you. 2. Embrace the pain and discomfort we all experience in life and use it to make you a stronger and more determined individual. 3. What you leave behind is what you weave in the hearts of other people. 4. As long as you don't quit - you can never be defeated. I chose my blog title, Motivational Check, for a simple reason. When I was a recruit in the Cincinnati Police Academy, it was a phrase any of our classmates could shout if they needed encouragement, motivation, or support. The class's response was to answer with a loud “84,” signifying our Recruit Class number and letting the person needing the reassurance know that we were all there for him or her. I understand what it is like to fight for your life and one thing I've learned is that as long as you don't quit, you can never be defeated. However, I came to understand the responsibility for altering your life is entirely up to YOU. Whining, complaining, and blaming others for your plight will not enhance your experience. Motivation alone will not cause you to progress. YOU have to want to make the change and commit to it every minute of every day. There are no days off when attempting to make significant and lasting improvements in your life. Just as fire strengthens metal and lifting weights until exhaustion grows muscle, use the pain and discomfort you are experiencing to harden your mind and make you a better and more determined individual. Keep fighting no matter how many setbacks you have or how bad you feel. Believe in yourself and know that there will be light at the end of your journey one day.    https://www.motivationalcheck.com

Today I'm with Terry Tucker from Denver As you listen to his story I am asking that you take time today to pray for Terry. Watch On YouTube. Terry understands what it is like to fight for your life and one thing he's learned is that as long as you don't quit, you can never be defeated. “What do you believe your purpose in life is?“ Can you describe your 9-year battle with cancer?” “Did you have a point in your life when you felt hopeless or hopeless?” “What are your 4 Truths and how did you come up with them?” He is the author of Sustainable Excellence, Ten Principles to Leading Your Uncommon and Extraordinary Life to help people find and live their uncommon and extraordinary life.

This week: 2019's Point Blank, starring Marcia Gay Harden, Anthony Mackie, and Frank Grillo. Studio executive pitch: A registered nurse teams up with a wounded fugitive to save their respective loved ones from a crooked Cincinnati Police Department. That logline doesn't do justice this HIGHLY WATCHABLE movie. The dialog snaps, the performances are fantastic, and the plot was good enough to reboot from a French film ooh-la-la.

He has reinvented himself frequently over his career. After he graduated from college at The Citadel (where he played NCAA Division I basketball), he was employed in the Marketing Department at the corporate headquarters of Wendy's International in Dublin, Ohio. From there, he worked in hospital administration for Riverside Methodist Hospital in Columbus, Ohio. After getting married and moving to California for his wife's job, he became the Customer Service Manager for an academic publishing company in Santa Barbara. After their daughter was born and they moved to Cincinnati, Ohio, he became a police officer with the Cincinnati Police Department, where he was a SWAT Hostage Negotiator. Following a family relocation to Texas, he started a school security consulting business and coached high school girls basketball in Houston. Each time he took on a new job, he had to develop new skills and faced different challenges. There was always a significant learning curve with every new position. But his greatest challenge began in early 2012 when he was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer called Acral Lentiginous Melanoma, which presented on the bottom of his foot. By the time the melanoma was detected, it had metastasized to a lymph node in his groin. His cancer is so rare (only about 6,500 people are diagnosed with this form of malignancy in the U.S. each year). One thing he learned during all his pain and suffering is that you have two choices. You can succumb to the debilitating discomfort and misery, or you can learn to embrace it and use it to make you a stronger and better human being. He chose the latter. There were times he felt so poorly and was in so much agony that he prayed to die. Each day was a struggle to use his mind to override his body's apathy and distress. He realizes pain and discomfort can beat you to your knees and keep you there if you let it. But he also came to appreciate that I could use my hurting and anguish to make me stronger and more resolute. He was no better at dealing with pain and discomfort than the next person. But every day, he found a way to survive, with the knowledge that he would need to do it again the following morning. He recently wrote a book, entitled Sustainable Excellence, Ten Principles to Leading Your Uncommon and Extraordinary Life, to help people find and live their uncommon and extraordinary life. The ten principles outlined in the book will provide the bedrock necessary to form the foundation of unshakable beliefs and dedicated behaviors to reinforce your attitude, no matter how much pain you must endure or how many obstacles you must overcome. His hope is that people who read the book will lead a life of significance, as well as a life of success. Unfortunately, his cancer experience hasn't ended with his conquering the disease. The melanoma that had plagued him for over six years returned in 2017. But he refused to be a victim of this malignancy. He vowed to continue his fight. He knew the only way cancer could win is if he gave up or gave in to the disease, or it killed him.

A 34 year veteran of the Cincinnati Police Department, Captain Jeff Butler discusses working with superheroes on the force, the challenges of working the beat, his years working undercover, and the thin blue line. Freaking Out About Work is the podcast that examines the American workplace. Experts in the field will discuss trends, recent developments affecting workers and working, as well as the legal rights and responsibilities of employees, whether minimum wage, blue collar, white collar, or executive level employees and independent contractors.

2020 was a deadly year in the U.S. The homicide rate rose 30% in 34 of America's biggest cities. Cincinnati broke records with 94 homicides by year's end. The Cincinnati Police Department broke another record, for the most guns recovered in a single year.

From there, he worked in hospital administration for Riverside Methodist Hospital in Columbus, Ohio.

By the time the melanoma was detected, it had metastasized to a lymph node in his groin. Because his cancer is so rare (only about 6,500 people are diagnosed with this form of malignancy in the U.S. each year), he was treated at the world-renowned MD Anderson Cancer Center. He had two surgeries to remove the tumors, and after he healed, he was put on a weekly injection of the drug, Interferon, to help keep the disease from coming back.     He took those weekly injections for four years and seven months before the Interferon became so toxic to his body that he ended up in the Intensive Care Unit with a fever of 108 degrees. Fortunately, expert medical care saved his life.   The Interferon gave him severe flu-like symptoms for two to three days after each injection. He lost fifty pounds during his therapy, was constantly nauseous, fatigued, and chilled, his ability to taste food significantly diminished, and his body constantly ached. This misery went on for over 1,660 days!   One thing he learned during all his pain and suffering is that you have two choices. You can succumb to the debilitating discomfort and misery, or you can learn to embrace it and use it to make you a stronger and better human being.

His hope is that people who read the book will lead a life of significance, as well as a life of success. Sustainable Excellence is available for pre-order on Amazon and at Barnes & Noble. ​ Unfortunately, his cancer experience hasn't ended with him conquering the disease. The melanoma that had plagued him for over six years returned in 2017, and his only treatment option was the amputation of most of his left foot in 2018. The cancer reemerged again in 2019, requiring multiple operations. In February of 2020, an undiagnosed tumor in his ankle fractured his tibia. His only remedy was the amputation of his left leg above the knee. He also has tumors in both of his lungs.    He says "But I refused to be a victim of this malignancy. I vowed to continue my fight. I knew the only way cancer could win is if I gave up or gave in to the disease, or it killed me." You can read his daily motivational quotes and connect with him through his website.

On this episode of Let’s Talk Cincy, we sit down with the makers of the Cincinnati Police Department’s documentary, “Shoot This, Not That,” a project that put the camera into the hands of kids who’s loved ones were taken away by violence.

July 22, 1985. Nolensville, Tennessee. After failing to pick up his wife from the bus station, 79-year old George Owens and his car are discovered to be missing from his home. One week later, George's abandoned vehicle is found on a hilltop in a rural wooded area over 100 miles away and piles of kindling are found outside and in the back seat. Eyewitnesses report having seen George in the area looking disoriented, leading to speculation that he wandered off into the woods, but an extensive search effort is unable find to him. June 5, 1998. Cincinnati, Ohio. Gary Adams contacts the police and reports that his 98-year old father, Walter Munson, has gone missing during a shopping trip at Findlay Market, but almost none of the other witnesses from the market remember seeing Walter there that day. Even though Gary claims that his father has lived with him for the past 20 years, the official paper trail for Walter seems to end in 1980 and virtually no one else can recall having seen him since then. Investigators soon uncover evidence that Gary was committing fraud by cashing his father's Social Security checks and while he serves time in prison for that crime, no trace of Walter is ever found. On this week's episode of “The Trail Went Cold', we will be chronicling a pair of unsolved missing persons cases involving elderly victims. If you have information about the disappearance of George Owens, please contact the Perry County Sheriffs Department at (931) 589-8803. If you have any information about the disappearance of Walter Dunson, please contact the Cincinnati Police Department at (513) 352-3542.

The Citizen Complaint Authority has struggled for years as an understaffed and underfunded independent agency that investigates complaints against the Cincinnati Police Department. Under these staffing constraints the agency is facing a major backlog of cases. Now Cincinnati Mayor John Cranley and City Council are working to better fund the CCA.

Terry Tucker has reinvented himself a few times. He has worked in marketing, hospital administration, and customer service. He was a police officer and SWAT negotiator with the Cincinnati Police Department, started a security consulting business, and became a high school basketball coach. Each change meant new skills and new challenges. His greatest challenge came in 2012 when he was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. Four years of Interferon injections followed, and the treatment almost killed him. The pain and suffering taught him that he had two choices - succumb to the debilitating discomfort and misery or learn to embrace it and use it to make himself a stronger and better human being. He chose the latter.  Terry started the Motivational Check blog to help inspire people to lead uncommon lives, even in uncommon and uncomfortable circumstances. He is still battling cancer and has had multiple surgeries, including the amputation of his left leg. Today we talk about motivation and how to keep going and stay positive about life even when it's really tough.  More about Terry and his work at: https://www.motivationalcheck.com/  

Some addicts are “scared straight” after a run-in with local police, but Trevor Steinhauser didn’t rub elbows with the Cincinnati Police Department. He got a call from the Drug Enforcement Agency. After years of drinking and using drugs, his interactions with federal agents compelled him to finally go to rehab. On episode 62, the husband and father of three shares his addiction and recovery journey. Trevor believes his anxiety, depression, and penchant for head trauma as a young child led to his addiction. His sobriety led him to mend his relationship with his formerly estranged brother and start a podcast about behavioral health, mental health, and addiction.

Concerns are growing inside the Cincinnati Police Department about the possibility of officers being laid off as City Hall faces a monumental $80 million budget deficit in the upcoming fiscal year. Police union President Dan Hils, never one to back down from a political fight, is ready to "call out stupid" if City Council attempts to prioritize any pet projects at the expense of public safety. After years of saying they'll make basic public services a top priority, the politicians "have to mean it this time, because they have no choice," Hils told The Enquirer's That's So Cincinnati podcast. (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/thats-so-cincinnati/id1429999971?ign-mpt=uo%3D4&ls=1&mt=2)   "If they go out there and do stupid pet projects," Hils added, "we've really elected the wrong bunch of folks."  Click the Audioboom (https://audioboom.com/channels/4967491) link at the top of this article to listen to That's So Cincinnati for free. It's also available for free on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio and most podcast listening platforms. Hils' interview begins at the 2:25 mark in the episode. The city's budget has been hit hard by coronavirus-related economic shutdown. City Hall must figure out how to deal with the budget crisis before the next fiscal year begins on July 1.  The poster child for pet projects is, of course, the streetcar, which sucks at least $1.4 million out of the annual operating budget. Streetcar ticket sales and advertising revenue continues to be off projections, and the rarely used rail line could require more taxpayer money out of the upcoming operating budget.  The streetcar is closed to passengers during the health emergency, and the question lingers whether it'll ever be reopened. Hils said he supports the idea of the federal government waiving a requirement that the city must pay back $45 million (https://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/politics/columnists/politics-extra/2020/04/22/coronavirus-fallout-would-trump-white-house-forgive-streetcar-loan/5165296002/) in streetcar construction grants if it's shutdown permanently. "They're stuck between a rock and a hard place when it comes to the federal funds," Hils said. "City Council got themselves into it, and I hope they can figure it out. I would love if the feds could say, 'Because of the COVID stuff, we're going to continue to send what we're going to be able to send you (for non-streetcar related projects), but shut that dumb thing down.' " Hils is prepared to work with the city administration on finding ways to help them save money in the police department. He hopes the city can work with officers nearing retirement as a way to avoid laying off younger officers.  "If you could find some sort of way to buyout or encourage or help people make the decision (to retire), that could save the city an awful lot of money," Hils said.  "And then they could restructure, look at some of the reduction of command officers or higher ranks so you could leave the people that are down there on the street dealing with the violence each and every day," Hils added."That would be a wiser move, if it comes down to it that they have to reduce the amount of Cincinnati police officers that are on the payroll."  Hils discussed other issues and topics on That's So Cincinnati.  His future: Hils has been the Cincinnati Fraternal Order of Police president since 2015, and he made a splash in his first two-year term by advocating for big wage hikes to make the Cincinnati police force salaries comparable to those of officers in similar-size cities. His efforts led to bigger-than-anticipated raises in 2016, costing taxpayers $25 million over three years.  Hils was re-elected to a new two-year term in December. It could be his last term because he has to retire in May 2022, due to parameters of his retirement agreement with the city.  He'd like to stay longer as union president. That would require FOP members to change a rule to allow a retired officer to run the organization, meaning the union would pay the president's full salary instead of the city. The membership will be making the decision as Hils heads to negotiations on a new police contract, which expires in May 2021. "I think I still have a lot of support," Hils said. Beyond that, Hils said, he's keeping the door open to possibly running for elected office someday. The Republican briefly jumped into the 2020 Hamilton County commissioners race, but dropped out a week later when he realized it would be a conflict with his job as FOP president.   "Can I ever see myself in politics in the future?" Hils said. "Yeah, I find it attractive."  Sheriff's race: Hils originally kicked around the idea of running for sheriff this year, but gave way when his long-time colleague and friend Bruce Hoffbauer decided to run. Hoffbauer, who recently retired Cincinnati police lieutenant, faces Democrat Charmaine McGuffey in the November election. It's expected to be a highly competitive race after McGuffey crushed incumbent Jim Neil in last month's primary.  Local political watchers believe Green Township's Hoffbauer will win over many of Neil's strong base of Republican and independent voters on the heavily populated West Side. "Bruce Hoffbauer is an outstanding leader," Hils said. "He's tough as nails when it comes to following the rules and making his officers be professional. He's also very wise. He knows the community and knows how to deal with big problems. Hamilton County is going to be blessed to have Bruce Hoffbauer as the sheriff. I believe he's going to win."

Have we entered the era of Minority Report and “true crime”? Yes… and no.
