For two years, silence shrouded the vanishing of a woman from the small Southern town of Malvern, Arkansas. Now, the mysterious disappearance and the suppression of the truth are cracked open by the FBI Agent, Jerry Spurgers, who worked this case of drug conspiracy, witness intimidation, and murder from start to finish. Murder at Midnight is the true story of how the Agent Spurgers and a team of local officers, sheriff deputies, and a federal analyst combined traditional police work with new technologies to unravel the circumstances of Susan Cooper's fate. Beyond sharing the facts from the case file, it offersinsight into the thought processes of the victim and those responsible for her disappearance from a veteran investigator's perspective, and it gives readers a better understanding of the dedication and effort required of law enforcement officers to uncover the truth.

Former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke — who ran the Bureau's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program — joins me to break down the psychology behind the JP Miller case and what the federal indictment reveals about predatory behavior and coercive control. A federal grand jury just indicted Myrtle Beach pastor JP Miller on charges of cyberstalking and making false statements to investigators. The charges stem from a documented pattern of harassment against his wife Mica Miller in the months before her death in April 2024. According to the indictment, Miller posted intimate photos of her online without consent, placed tracking devices on her vehicle, contacted her over fifty times in a single day, and lied to federal investigators about sabotaging her car. But the indictment only scratches the surface. Sworn affidavits describe years of coercive control — isolation, financial manipulation, threats, surveillance. Mica told police JP had "groomed" her since she was a child. His first wife says she went to police in 2015 after he confessed to being inappropriate with underage church members. She says they told her no one would believe her. Two civil lawsuits now accuse Miller of sexually assaulting minors in the late 1990s. Both name his father as a co-defendant and allege their churches enabled abuse for decades. And then there's the other death. Chris Skinner — a quadriplegic Army veteran — drowned in 2021, two weeks after allegedly confronting Miller about an affair with his wife. That wife is now married to JP Miller. Robin Dreeke has spent his career studying manipulation, deception, and how predators operate. In this interview, he analyzes the behavioral patterns in this case — the pulpit announcement, the documented control tactics, the lies that caught Miller, and what it takes to stop someone like this. #MicaMiller #JPMiller #RobinDreeke #FBI #JusticeForMica #CoerciveControl #TrueCrime #BehavioralAnalysis #SolidRockChurch #CrimePsych Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Nearly four years after five-year-old Summer Wells vanished from her home in rural Tennessee, the case remains one of the most haunting missing person investigations in recent true crime history. In November, federal and state authorities quietly returned to the field, conducting a new search roughly nine miles from where Summer was last seen on the 3500 block of Van Hill Road. The renewed activity involved the FBI, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, and the Hawkins County Sheriff's Office, immediately raising questions about what prompted investigators to act again after so much time.  According to a former FBI agent familiar with how these cases operate, the Bureau has been involved in the Summer Wells investigation since the early days under what is known as a police cooperation case, a formal partnership that allows federal resources to support local law enforcement when needed. In this instance, a tip reportedly triggered the search, and while every tip is logged and reviewed, the decision to deploy specialized teams and heavy resources suggests investigators believed the information warranted serious attention.  Reports from the area described excavation and the movement of dirt, fueling intense public interest and speculation, though authorities have not confirmed what, if anything, was found. Former FBI agent Jennifer Coffindaffer explains that searches of this scale are not conducted lightly and typically require either a search warrant supported by probable cause or legally documented consent. Warrants, she notes, are preferred in complex cases because they protect the integrity of any evidence recovered and withstand scrutiny in court.  Despite public curiosity, law enforcement rarely discloses the outcome of such searches, especially in an active missing child investigation, leaving families and communities suspended between hope and fear. The Summer Wells case continues to be defined by unanswered questions, red flags, and the unwavering effort to uncover the truth. As investigators follow every credible lead, this latest search underscores a sobering reality in true crime and breaking news alike: authorities have not given up on finding answers about what happened to Summer Wells. #SummerWells #MissingPerson #TrueCrime #BreakingNews #FBIInvestigation #ChildAbduction #UnsolvedCases #JusticeForSummer #TennesseeCrime #ColdCase Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Dallas Attorney Jeremy Rosenthal asks the question: When does free speech become obstruction of justice? It's a big part of this case

The case of 18-year-old Anna Kepner has gripped the true crime community with its disturbing and heartbreaking details. What was supposed to be a family cruise turned into a scene of horror when Anna was found dead under a bed, strangled and hidden beneath life jackets and blankets. Former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer, alongside legal and investigative experts, dissects the chilling evidence and unanswered questions surrounding this case. With her stepbrother reportedly the last to see her alive, the mystery deepens as authorities navigate a complex web of family dynamics, digital evidence, and jurisdictional challenges. The crime occurred while the ship was at sea, creating unique legal obstacles between federal and local authorities. Investigators are now piecing together hours of surveillance footage, phone data, and witness interviews to determine what really happened that night. Coffindaffer explains how the type of hold used to strangle Anna—known to law enforcement as a “crowded hold”—reveals both training and intent. Yet, despite compelling evidence, no arrest has been made, leaving many to question why the stepbrother remains free. Federal and local agencies must now decide whether the case will be prosecuted under the Federal Juvenile Delinquency Act or handed to Florida authorities for state charges. The tragic death of Anna Kepner has become more than just a case—it's a haunting example of how justice can be delayed by legal complexity and bureaucracy. As the world watches, the question remains: will there ever be accountability for Anna's death, or will this case fade into another unsolved tragedy on the high seas? #TrueCrime #AnnaKepner #CruiseShipMurder #FBIInvestigation #BreakingNews #JusticeForAnna #CrimeAtSea #CriminalJustice #MissingPersons #MurderMystery Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In the Name of the Children An FBI Agent's Relentless Pursuit of the Nation's Worst Predators"The voice that narrates In the Name of the Children: An F.B.I. Agent's Relentless Pursuit of the Nation's Worst Predators, which Rinek wrote with the journalist Marilee Strong, sounds warm and humane, qualities missing from much crime writing. Their book is a professional job, filled with illuminating details about the day-to-day operations of the bureau."—New York Times Book Review FBI Special Agent Jeff Rinek had a gift for getting child predators to confess. All he had to do was share a piece of his soul . . .In the Name of the Children gives an unflinching look at what it's like to fight a never-ending battle against an enemy far more insidious than terrorists: the predators, lurking amongst us, who seek to harm our children.During his 30-year career with the FBI, Jeff Rinek worked hundreds of investigations involving crimes against children: from stranger abduction to serial homicide to ritualized sexual abuse. Those who do this kind of work are required to plumb the depths of human depravity, to see things no one should ever have to see—and once seen can never forget. There is no more important—or more brutal—job in law enforcement, and few have been more successful than Rinek at solving these sort of cases.Most famously, Rinek got Cary Stayner to confess to all four of the killings known as the Yosemite Park Murders, an accomplishment made more extraordinary by the fact that the FBI nearly pinned the crimes on the wrong suspects. Rinek's recounting of the confession and what he learned about Stayner provides perhaps the most revelatory look ever inside the psyche of a serial killer and a privileged glimpse into the art of interrogation.In the Name of the Children takes readers into the trenches of real-time investigations where every second counts and any wrong decision or overlooked fact can have tragic repercussions. Rinek offers an insider's perspective of the actual case agents and street detectives who are the boots on the ground in this war at home. By placing us inside the heart and mind of a rigorously honest and remarkably self-reflective investigator, we will see with our own eyes what it takes—and what it costs—to try to keep our children safe and to bring to justice those who prey on society's most vulnerable victims.With each chapter dedicated to a real case he worked, In the Name of the Children also explores the evolution of Rinek as a Special Agent—whose unorthodox, empathy-based approach to interviewing suspects made him extraordinarily successful in obtaining confessions—and the toll it took to have such intimate contact with child molesters and murderers. Beyond exploring the devastating impact of these unthinkable crimes on the victims and their families, this book offers an unprecedented look at how investigators and their loved ones cope while living in the specter of so much suffering.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

In Part 2 of Greg and Ed's interview with John Schachnovsky, the former head of the FBI in Thailand, the men continue discussing John's varied responsibilities in the Land of Smiles, this time focusing on specific cases. John brings up the he played in the Asian Tsunami of 2004 and how the FBI used its technology to help identify myriad victims. John mentions that due to the close working relationship between the U.S. and Thai governments, the FBI would lend a helping hand (often one with advanced technology) anytime it could. Greg then brings up a very current issue - the horrible crimes being committed by cross border scam centers. John mentions that the issue was already hot for the FBI several years ago during his tenure. He emphasizes the unique complexity of such crimes - they involve multiple nations, honchos who themselves often come from other countries such as China, and lower level perpetrators who are themselves often victims of trafficking.  To wrap up, the guys get personal and discuss John's love of Thailand and his project getting his wife to agree to stay in the country permanently. Greg and Ed wouldn't know anything about that! Get John's book here!

An FBI Agent goes undercover inside America's darkest pagan cults… and discovers something far more sinister than criminal activity. Rituals. Blood offerings. Blóts. Pagan ceremonies that weren't just symbolic, something was responding. In this exclusive interview, a retired federal agent, Scott Payne, recounts the supernatural encounters he experienced while infiltrating extremist groups who blended ideology with occult ritual. What started as an investigation into domestic terror slowly revealed a deeper war, one not fought with weapons, but with spirits, influence, and ancient forces still active today. Inside these pagan rituals, the Kingdom of Darkness wasn't just present… it looked back. If you're interested in the supernatural world behind real investigations, spiritual warfare, cults, rituals, and the hidden battle influencing culture today, this is an episode you won't forget.

In part 1 of a two-part episode, Greg and Ed interview John Schachnovsky about his upcoming book "Beyond the Badge," which recounts his experience as the head of the FBI in Thailand. John starts out explaining his early career with the FBI and his subsequent move to Bangkok. Greg and Ed ask about the exact role of the FBI oversees and John explains in detail. First, as a branch of the U.S. government, the FBI has no legal jurisdiction in Thailand and must work directly with the Thai government for everything they do. Second, the FBI's role is entirely distinct from the CIA. The FBI does law enforcement, the CIA does intelligence gathering with a focus on American national security. That being said, the two agencies did and do share information when it supports their respective missions.  Next, the men focus on the reputation of the Royal Thai Police, which, to put it bluntly, is not good. John stresses that he found the RTP to be hardworking and professional overall, but admits that in some cases, the RTP had different ideas about what counts as 'corruption' and what does not. He emphasizes that, at least in his experience, the reputation is undeserved and he hopes to correct it in his book, which you can get here, or at Asia Books in Thailand. Tune in next week for Part 2 and a discussion of some of John's more famous cases.

Criminal organizations are now using AI. Brad Garrett, former FBI agent and ABC crime and terrorism analyst, explains how these masterminds are using it and how to protect yourself.

Netflix's Monster: The Ed Gein Story shocked audiences - but does it really capture the truth? We're joined by Jim Clemente, former FBI profiler, criminal behavioural analyst, and writer for Criminal Minds, to analyze how Netflix dramatized Ed Gein's psychology and what the real offender profile looks like.From Gein's obsession with his mother to his post-mortem rituals and the myth of the “serial killer” label, Clemente brings a real FBI lens to separate fact from Hollywood fiction. He also shares insights on how true cases - like Jeffrey Dahmer and Albert Fish - reveal the psychology of killers who blur the line between horror and reality. According to Jim Clemente, retired FBI behavioural analyst and criminal profiler, when it comes to the "nature vs. nurture" debate, "genetics loads the gun, personality and psychology aim it, and your experiences pull the trigger..."As a criminal profiler, it was his job to catch murderers, serial killers and rapists and pick up the slack where forensic evidence failed. Clemente explains how he went about his job tracking down some of the world's most dangerous people. Clemente is a retired FBI behavioural analyst and criminal profiler, and co-host of "‪@realcrimeprofile929‬ ," a true crime podcast distributed by Wondery.

⬥GUEST⬥Eric O'Neill, Keynote Speaker, Cybersecurity Expert, Spy Hunter, Bestselling Author. Attorney | On Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eric-m-oneill/⬥HOST⬥Host: Sean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine and Host of Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast | On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/imsmartin/ | Website: https://www.seanmartin.com⬥EPISODE NOTES⬥In this episode of the Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast, host Sean Martin reconnects with Eric O'Neill, National Security Strategist at NeXasure and former FBI counterintelligence operative. Together, they explore how cybercrime has matured into a global economy—and why organizations of every size must learn to compete, not just defend.O'Neill draws from decades of undercover work and corporate investigation to reveal that cybercriminals now operate like modern businesses: they innovate, specialize, and scale. The difference? Their product is your data. He argues that resilience—not prevention—is the true marker of readiness. Companies can't assume they're too small or too obscure to be targeted. “It's just a matter of numbers,” he says. “At some point, you will get struck. You need to be able to take the punch and keep moving.”The discussion covers the practical realities facing small and midsize businesses: limited budgets, fragmented tools, and misplaced confidence. O'Neill explains why so many organizations over-invest in overlapping technologies while under-investing in strategy. His firm helps clients identify these inefficiencies and replace tool sprawl with coordinated defense.Preparation, O'Neill says, should follow his PAID methodology—Prepare, Assess, Investigate, Decide. The goal is to plan ahead, detect fast, and act decisively. Those that do not prepare spend ten times more responding after an incident than they would have spent preventing it.Martin and O'Neill also examine how storytelling bridges the gap between security teams and executive boards. Using relatable analogies—like house fires and insurance—O'Neill makes cybersecurity human. His message is simple: security is not a technical decision; it's a business one.Listen to hear how the business of cybercrime mirrors legitimate enterprise—and why understanding that truth might be your best defense.⬥RESOURCES⬥Book: Spies, Lies, and Cybercrime by Eric O'Neill – Book linkBook: Gray Day by Eric O'Neill – Book linkFree, Weekly Newsletter: spies-lies-cybercrime.ericoneill.netPodcast: Former FBI Spy Hunter Eric O'Neill Explains How Cybercriminals Use Espionage techniques to Attack Us: https://redefiningsocietyandtechnologypodcast.com/episodes/new-book-spies-lies-and-cyber-crime-former-fbi-spy-hunter-eric-oneill-explains-how-cybercriminals-use-espionage-techniques-to-attack-us-redefining-society-and-technology-podcast-with-marco-ciappelli⬥ADDITIONAL INFORMATION⬥✨ More Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast: 

A Note from JamesOh my gosh—I was scared after this one. In this episode, I learned about what's really on the dark web… and the even scarier stuff on what's called the deep web.Eric O'Neill—who, by the way, is the former FBI agent who brought down Robert Hanssen, the biggest double agent in U.S. history—joined me for this conversation. Hanssen was the FBI's top analyst on the Soviet Union, and at the same time, he was secretly working for the Soviet Union—for twenty-two years. Eric was the one who caught him. There was even a movie made about it—Breach (2007).Now Eric has written a book called Spies, Lies, and Cybercrime: Cybersecurity Tactics to Outsmart Hackers and Disarm Scammers. And honestly, it's terrifying what's out there right now—the dark web, the black markets, the cyberattacks, the scams that most of us have no idea are happening in the background of our digital lives.I'll let Eric tell the stories.Episode DescriptionIn this episode, James talks with Eric O'Neill—former FBI counterintelligence operative and the man who captured the most notorious spy in U.S. history—about the unseen cyber battlefield shaping our world today. O'Neill explains how hackers, state actors, and scammers exploit human psychology far more than technology, and why every one of us is a potential target.From the lessons of his undercover work tracking Robert Hanssen to the rise of ransomware and AI-assisted phishing, O'Neill offers both a chilling reality check and a practical guide for staying safe in the digital age. He and James break down how modern espionage has moved online—and what ordinary people can do to protect themselves before it's too late.What You'll LearnHow Eric O'Neill captured Robert Hanssen, the most damaging spy in FBI historyWhy modern cybercrime depends more on human manipulation than hacking codeWhat really happens on the dark web and how it fuels global criminal networksHow AI is changing the speed and sophistication of digital attacksSimple but critical steps you can take right now to protect your data and identityTimestamped Chapters[00:00] Introduction — James sets the stage for a chilling conversation [02:15] Who is Eric O'Neill?

Nine-year-old Melodee Buzzard should have been in a classroom in Lompoc, California. Instead, she's missing—and the story unfolding around her disappearance is hauntingly familiar to anyone who followed the Harmony Montgomery case. Former FBI agent and expert witness Jennifer Coffindaffer returns to Break the Case to dissect every known detail of this developing investigation, from the last verified sightings to the eerie gaps that have law enforcement scrambling for answers. Coffindaffer recounts how the case began not with a frantic 911 call, but with a report from the Lompoc Unified School District after Melodee hadn't attended school for months. The child's father died in a motorcycle crash when she was only six months old, and her mother, Ashley, appeared to have spiraled since. A chilling interview with Melodee's grandmother revealed a home in squalor, unfit for a child, and a family paralyzed by distance and dysfunction. By the time Child Protective Services intervened, it was already too late—Melodee had vanished. Law enforcement has released a crucial timeline. Melodee was last seen on October 7, 2025, at a California rental car agency, traveling with her mother, who reportedly planned a cross-country trip to Nebraska. Surveillance footage shows the child heavily clothed, possibly wearing a wig—a potential attempt to disguise her identity. As Coffindaffer points out, these details suggest intention, preparation, and deep secrecy. The FBI and Santa Barbara authorities have since executed search warrants, but so far, no confirmed trace of Melodee has been found. Through methodical breakdowns, Coffindaffer urges the public to share Melodee's image widely, drawing parallels to how social media once led to the discovery of Gabby Petito. Every share, every view, could be the one that brings a missing child home—or finally reveals the truth about what happened to her. #MelodeeBuzzard #MissingChild #TrueCrime #JenniferCoffindaffer #BreakTheCase #FBIInvestigation #HarmonyMontgomery #CPSFailure #GabbyPetito #TrueCrimeCommunity Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Retired agent and former FBI art crime team leader Tim Carpenter reviews his case where 5,000 illegally collected cultural artifacts and two thousand human burial remains were seized from the Midwestern home of grave robber Don Miller. Many of the pieces in Miller's illicit collection of over 42,000 items were looted from sacred burial and cultural heritage sites around the world. Tim and his team repatriated these items of historical and cultural significance back to Native American and other indigenous communities from which they were stolen. Tim, the author of The Grave Robber, a book about the meticulous work involved in the FBI's investigation, served in the FBI for twenty years.  Check out episode show notes, photos, and related articles: https://jerriwilliams.com/374-tim-carpenter-grave-robber-stolen-artifacts-and-burial-remains/       Join my Reader Team to get the FBI Reading Resource - Books about the FBI, written by FBI agents, the 20 clichés about the FBI Reality Checklist, and keep up to date on the FBI in books, TV, and movies via my monthly email.

A new controversy is swirling around the investigation tied to musician D4vd and the death of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. A private investigator says he found disturbing items — including writings he described as “sadistic plans” — inside a Hollywood Hills home after LAPD had already completed a warrant search. He claims police left behind evidence that could prove crucial to understanding what happened. In this episode, Tony Brueski and retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer take a hard look at the facts. How are search warrants handled? Could officers have legally left items behind? And what are the risks when a private investigator becomes part of the evidence chain? Coffindaffer, who's worked hundreds of federal cases, explains why chain of custody matters, how claims like these are verified, and what happens if they turn out to be true. This is not about accusation — it's about the process, the truth, and the fight for accountability in a case that's already clouded by confusion. #D4vd #CelesteRivas #JenniferCoffindaffer #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #TrueCrime #HollywoodHills #LAPD #PrivateInvestigator #JusticeForCeleste Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
