Truths: Myths about the FBI often stem from media portrayals. Building rapport can turn suspects into informants. Interviews should be conversations, not interrogations. Crisis communication requires balancing accuracy and urgency. Financial crimes evolve with technology and trends. Public perception is shaped by how information is presented. The role of a spokesperson is to represent the organization, not personal views. Misconceptions can lead to prejudicial statements in media. Fiction writing requires creativity and attention to detail. Writing can be a painful process, but rewarding. Realism in fiction is crucial for engaging storytelling. Consistency in character development is key. Podcasting can be a powerful platform for authors. Evolving interview techniques can enhance storytelling. FBI myths in media can mislead the public. Collaboration between agencies can lead to successful outcomes. Female agents are often misrepresented in media. Developing informants is a critical part of FBI work. Effective communication is about understanding the listener.

I'm a massive fan of books and movies about the FBI. If my wife sees me reading, she can often assume it's some story about counterintelligence or criminal profiling. One night, I was enjoying a podcast called FBI Retired Case File Review, and it dawned on me that as someone with my own podcast, I could just ask the host to be a guest. To my delight, she agreed. Jerri Williams retired after serving 26 years as a special agent in the FBI. In addition to her podcast, she does work as a technical consultant for major TV networks and production companies. She's also the author of several books, both fiction and non-fiction. Through her story-telling and interviews with retired FBI agents, she debunks myths and misconceptions with a mission to show the public who the FBI is and what the FBI does. Her podcast has more than 300 episodes and 10 million downloads, so I think it's safe to say: mission accomplished. Jerri said that talking to me gave her an excuse to reflect on what retirement means, and it felt like therapy. Take her words to heart; perhaps it will for you, too.

In this episode, retired agent Jerome Lorrain and former Safe Street Taskforce (SSTF) officer Joseph W. Nicholson review one of their kidnapping and murder investigations. In 2001, David Cannon abducted and bludgeoned to death Thomas Earl Beasley, III. Cannon and Beasley met at the Miss-A-Bama Saloon. Cannon became enraged after Beasley allegedly made a sexual pass at him. Beasley's body was later found floating in a pond in rural Alabama. The SSTF worked the case and made a crucial consensually recorded conversation between a confidential informant and Cannon. The Jackson Division Evidence Response Team (ERT) and the FBI Lab conducted forensic examinations that were also significant to the successful prosecution and resolution of this case. Jerome Lorraine served in the FBI for 30 years. Joseph Nicholson has worked in law enforcement for the past 28 years.

In part two of this two-part episode, retired agent John Anticev continues his case review of his operation of FBI informant Emad Salem, who infiltrated an operational cell of Egyptian Islamic radicals but fired by John's FBI superiors while John was out on sick leave recovering from a brain tumor. Members of the cell were later found to be responsible for the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center (WTC). After the attack, John re-engaged his source to penetrate a second operational terrorist cell preparing to attack the Lincoln and Holland Tunnels, the United Nations, 26 Federal Plaza, and other New York City landmarks. This time, the case, known as TERRSTOP, resulted in the prevention of major attacks and identified links between the cell and a hostile intelligence service. John also discusses the stress and frustration he endured during the 6-year internal investigation into his and others handling of the source, who, unknown to John, had secretly recorded many of their conversations. John Anticev served in the FBI for 28 years.

But with a lie, they can steal millions. During her FBI career, Jerri specialized in cases targeting major economic crime and corruption. Her investigation of a $350 million Ponzi scheme perpetrated against unsuspecting nonprofit organizations, high profiled philanthropists and beneficiary donors resulted in a 12-year prison sentence and multiple forfeitures; the international advance fee scam case she conducted resulted in a 14 year prison sentence and the forfeiture of the subject's residence; and her major investigation of business-to-business telemarketing fraud, which included a long-term undercover operation, resulted in 16 search warrants, 25 convictions, and many multi-year prison terms. Jerri received numerous awards throughout her career, including four United States Attorney Awards for Distinguished Service, three of them for her work on the cases noted. Being interviewed and appearing on CNBC's American Greed in the episode—When Greed and Giving Collide—was a highlight of Jerri's career. Toward the end of her federal law enforcement career, Jerri was appointed as the spokesperson for the Philadelphia Division of the FBI, taking on the responsibility of educating and informing the media and public about the Bureau. Jerri is currently using her federal law enforcement experience and communication and media experience to host and produce a popular true crime and history podcast—FBI Retired Case File Review—where she interviews retired FBI agents about their high-profile cases and careers, while correcting clichés and misconceptions about the FBI in books, TV, and movies. With nearly 6 million downloads and over 250 episodes, the podcast can be accessed on Apple Podcast, Google Podcast, Spotify and other popular podcast apps. In her book, FBI Myths and Misconceptions: A Manual for Armchair Detectives, she presents her top 20 clichés about the FBI.

Based on the success of her FBI non-fiction, Jerri is under contract as a technical consultant for major TV networks and production companies wanting to create authentic FBI dramas and characters. Her crime novels—Pay to Play and Greedy Givers—feature flawed female FBI agent Kari Wheeler, a married mother of three investigating fraud and corruption in Philadelphia while struggling to balance her family responsibilities.

It was just a matter of time until Rebekah covered a cult. But before she leads (not in a culty way) Melissa to Arizona and Missouri, she takes a minute to appreciate the splendor and entertainment mecca, Orange County, California. Rebekah then tackles the confession Elizabeth Lyn Vargas, of RHOC, made to Braunwyn last season. She didn't give a lot of details, but Rebekah was determined to uncover everything she could - and what she found includes wild stories about Elizabeth's grandmother, Dorothy Mae Bell, and her leadership of two fringe family cults and crimes including concealment of a dead body, and kidnapping charges. This is an episode of Criminality unlike the others.What are we watching? Melissa pleads for a second chance to sell us on “Better off Ted” and is currently enjoying the sketch comedy show, “I Think You Should Leave.” Rebekah is enjoying the delightful Netflix teen dramedy, “ Never Have I Ever” and believes it is the perfect antidote to ELITE.Melissa stumps Rebekah (as per usual) with these three clues for the next episode: Big Brother, Brazil, and Butterfly!Follow us on social media!
