From The Texas Rangers To TV Star: Catching Killers. In the world of homicide investigations, few names carry the weight and respect of retired Texas Ranger Jim Holland. Known for solving some of the nation's most chilling crimes and extracting confessions where others failed, Holland's journey from The Texas Rangers to TV star has turned decades of real-life investigative work into compelling storytelling across television, podcasts, and digital media. The Podcast is available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube and most major podcast platforms. Today, audiences can follow his work through The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and major podcast platforms, including Apple Podcasts and Spotify, YouTube, where discussions about criminal investigations, interrogation psychology, and real-world police work are now widely available, for free via The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast to listeners hungry for authentic crime stories grounded in experience rather than fiction.

An Unexpected Path Into Police Work Holland never set out with a clear plan to become one of America's most recognized investigators. Growing up outside Chicago in Polo, Illinois, he was raised in a large family whose parents renovated an orphanage to house their seven children, an upbringing that shaped his sense of responsibility and service. Supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . After graduating from the University of Louisville in 1993, Holland entered law enforcement in 1995 as a highway patrol trooper with the Texas Department of Public Safety. From The Texas Rangers To TV Star: Catching Killers. “I didn't map out becoming a Ranger,” Holland said in an interview. “I just wanted to do meaningful police work and help people.” That path eventually led him into the elite Texas Ranger Division, the primary investigative arm of the Texas Department of Public Safety. Founded in 1823, the Rangers are the oldest statewide law enforcement agency in the United States and specialize in major violent crimes, cold cases, public corruption, and officer-involved shootings. Available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and most major Podcast networks. Becoming a Ranger requires years of investigative experience, advanced training, and a reputation for excellence, standards Holland met through relentless work ethic and investigative success. Life As a Texas Ranger Holland spent more than two decades working complex cases across Texas, investigating murders, serial crimes, and missing persons cases that often left families without answers. “Hard work, dedication, not sleeping, long hours, and time away from family,” Holland explained. “Being a ranger is really a life of selflessness. It's about helping those who can't help themselves anymore.” From The Texas Rangers To TV Star: Catching Killers.  Look for The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. During his career, Holland worked security for then-Texas Governor George W. Bush and later played key roles in some of the country's most haunting criminal investigations. His reputation grew as someone departments called when cases stalled and traditional evidence ran dry. “I get brought in when there's no DNA or forensics,” Holland said. “My expertise is getting these people to talk.” Catching Killers and Solving Cold Cases Holland has cracked hundreds of cases, including investigations involving serial offenders and long-unsolved murders. Among his most notable achievements was his work with serial killer Samuel Little, whom the FBI later identified as the most prolific serial killer in U.S. history. Through patient interviews and psychological strategy, Holland elicited 93 confessions, helping investigators connect Little to at least 60 cold cases involving murdered women across the country. Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and other podcast platforms. The Los Angeles Times famously referred to Holland as a “serial killer whisperer,” while national programs such as 60 Minutes highlighted his interrogation methods and investigative persistence. “Justice is a hard word,” Holland said. “There's nothing fair about someone being killed. But bringing answers to families and making sure the perpetrator doesn't have the opportunity to do it again, that's what matters.” From The Texas Rangers To TV Star: Catching Killers. The Most Difficult Cases During interviews and podcast appearances, Holland frequently reflects on the emotional toll of homicide work. Some of his most difficult cases involved missing women whose investigations had gone cold for years. One particularly challenging investigation centered on the murder of a mother who vanished as a hurricane approached, creating chaos that complicated evidence collection and timelines. “These are cases where families are living in limbo,” Holland said. “You're not just solving a crime, you're giving people the ability to move forward.” His investigative work was also featured in nationally recognized cases highlighted on 48 Hours, including “The Murder of Jackie Vandagriff” and “The Plot to Kill Jamie Faith,” where fellow detectives credited Holland's interrogation techniques as pivotal breakthroughs. It is discussed across News platforms and shared on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Apple, and Spotify, where audiences continue to get their content. From Ranger Badge to Television Star After retiring from the Rangers, Holland found himself unexpectedly recruited by television producers eager to bring authentic investigative insight to true-crime audiences. He now stars in the eight-part Investigation Discovery series KILLER CONFESSIONS: CASE FILES OF A TEXAS RANGER, which premieres Tuesdays on ID, with episodes available for streaming on HBO Max. The series places viewers inside interrogation rooms, showing how cases are solved not through dramatic forensic breakthroughs but through psychology, patience, and conversation.

You can find the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, X (formerly Twitter), and LinkedIn, as well as read companion articles and updates on Medium, Blogspot, YouTube, and even IMDB. “People think investigations are always about physical evidence,” Holland said. “But sometimes it's about understanding people, why they did what they did and how to get them to tell the truth.” A New Era: Podcasts, News, and Digital Media Holland's transition into media reflects a broader shift in how audiences consume true crime. Interviews and discussions about his cases now reach global audiences through news platforms, podcasts, and social media channels. Listeners can hear Holland discuss investigative strategy and real-world policing through shows available on Apple Podcasts and Spotify, while clips and behind-the-scenes insights circulate widely on YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram. The accessibility of these platforms allows the public to better understand the realities of police work, far removed from scripted television portrayals. “People want authenticity,” Holland said. “They want to understand how these cases actually get solved.” Legacy of Service Even in retirement, Holland remains a sought-after expert in investigative interviewing, frequently speaking to law enforcement agencies nationwide. Departments still call him when cases appear unsolvable, a testament to the reputation he built over decades. From The Texas Rangers To TV Star: Catching Killers.  Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and other podcast platforms. From the interrogation room to television screens and podcasts, his mission remains unchanged. “Many victims never get the chance to speak,” Holland said. “My job has always been to make sure their stories are heard.” From The Texas Rangers to TV star, Jim Holland's career represents a rare bridge between real-world policing and public storytelling, proving that behind every solved case is not just evidence, but persistence, empathy, and the determination to keep catching killers long after the badge comes off.

Tara exposes newly revealed documents showing illegal immigrant sex offenders were allegedly released into the U.S. after signing paperwork promising “counseling.” She connects the dots between the State of the Union moment when Democrats refused to stand for American safety and what she calls a coordinated internal flight program that sent thousands into red states. The details are explosive — and disturbing.

Tara connects the dots between the State of the Union moment Democrats refused to stand for American safety and newly disclosed records about how the Biden administration processed certain illegal immigrants with prior sex offense convictions. Lawsuit-obtained documents reveal the paperwork used, the flight program that moved hundreds of thousands into the U.S., and where most were sent. This episode is explosive, emotional, and unapologetic.

Tara dives into the controversy shaking California and exposing a national trend: the early release of convicted sex offenders and the political battles surrounding public safety. The case of David Allen Funston, a convicted serial child rapist recently paroled under California's so-called “elderly parole law,” raises urgent questions about safety, justice, and political priorities. Republicans and Tara argue Democrats are soft on violent offenders, voting against bills to increase child sex offense penalties, and even normalizing dangerous behavior through legislation. Tara also explores the disturbing trend of registered sex offenders running for office, public reactions, and the consequences for families and communities. This episode examines what happens when public safety is deprioritized and challenges Americans to consider who really benefits from these policies.

Tara breaks down two explosive political stories shaking America: South Carolina Politics: Congressman Ralph Norman discusses why taxpayers are being “robbed,” how government growth is out of control, and why Scout Motors' EV incentives are a giveaway at the expense of infrastructure. He explains his plan for forensic accounting, infrastructure prioritization, and returning accountability to state government. California Parole & Public Safety Crisis: The controversial early release of convicted serial child rapist David Allen Funston exposes the dangers of Democrat-backed laws prioritizing leniency over American safety. Tara connects this to a broader trend where political correctness, policy failures, and radical socialist factions in the Democratic Party are threatening families and communities nationwide. From taxes and EV incentives to child safety and political accountability, this episode covers it all with clarity, context, and urgency.

SPEAKERS Teddy Nappen, Speaker 2 Teddy Nappen  00:17 I’m Teddy Nappen, and welcome to Gun Lawyer. I wanted to kind of address this to the audience, as this has been kind of brushed over. There’s been multiple mass shootings, but there was one that caught my eye. They are trying to effectively bury in the stories. Like, I don’t even see it that much coming the news. The mass shooting in Canada! Every single one of the Left’s arguments on how to stop a mass shooting, everything that they push for, demonstrated in Canada failed. The Left always argues that stricter gun laws will prevent a mass shooting. If it saves one life. Even though  2.7 million lives are saved with self-defense uses of a firearm. If it saves one life. They always argue the accessibility of firearms –  that’s what leads to mass shootings. Teddy Nappen  01:15 So, I want to kind of lean into this story where nine people were shot and killed, 27 were injured in the mass shooting in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia. (https://www.junonews.com/p/exclusive-family-confirms-identity) It was a man identifying as a woman, which, you know, that’s one of the other reasons why they’re burying the story. It doesn’t fit the narrative of the straight, white, right wing conservative as the shooter. So, obviously we can’t talk about it. You hear from the North District Commander Ken Floyd of the gun person. Yeah, person. Always good to not misgender the school shooter. He murdered his mother, but also shot his step brother as well. Don’t bring up that fact. Also, a troubled house life, and the school that he shot up, of course, he was thrown out of the school. Police had been called to the home multiple times. They had multiple instances with this individual who had reported mental health problems. Huh, interesting. Teddy Nappen  02:21 Oh, and it gets better. So, the suspect had a firearm license, which, by the way, in Canada, you cannot possess a firearm for self-defense – only hunting. Keep that in mind. Supposedly, the guns recovered were a long gun and a “modified handgun”. They don’t go into details as to what was modified. So, the suspect, the shooter, the man identifying as a woman, I’m going to repeat that, the suspect had dropped out of the Tumbler Ridge Secondary School four years ago and was not a student at the time. So, police had attended the suspect’s residence multiple times in the past several years, dealing with mental health occurrences. Hmm, wonder why? When he started identifying as a woman? You know, that usually leads to that 42% suicide rate. The only group that is close to that rate is paranoid schizophrenics. But you know, facts are transphobic and homophobic, apparently. This included one of the attendants where, two years ago, the firearms were seized under criminal code. He was Red Flagged! Oh, he had multiple mental health instances. So, obviously we’ve got to seize his guns. The very argument by the Left to stop mass shootings. But, of course, because the man identified as a woman, then of course, well, we can’t, we don’t want to be transphobic. Let’s give him, oh, sorry, her back his firearms. Teddy Nappen  03:53 And, of course, suspect was born a biological male and then started transitioning six years ago. So, six years  ago, he started transitioning and identified as a woman. Two years ago, the firearms are seized, so then he can say, oh, sorry, I think I’m a woman, so give me back my firearms, even though the police have come multiple times for multiple mental health incidents. Other than that, though, let’s give him back his guns. So, right there we have a clear demonstration of the fact that his firearms were seized and then he got, you know, Red Flagged. They actually have it. I pulled the law under their Public Safety website emergency prohibition order. (https://www.publicsafety.gc.ca/cnt/cntrng-crm/frrms/rd-flg-lws-en.aspx) A judge issues the order if they believe the individual poses a risk to themselves or others. When the order was issued, firearms, and firearm license and other documents and other weapons may be removed up to 30 days, and you have a hearing date. He goes to the hearing date and says, I want my guns back. And here they are given back and then does the shooting. The level. It’s just so disgusting. The system works every time. He got the guns back, and then boom, goes right into a mass shooting. Teddy Nappen  05:12 By the way, Canada is one of the most strictest places you could find for a firearm. You cannot get firearms for self-defense uses. They ban every form of semi-auto possible. Their laws are extremely, extremely difficult in order to get firearms. Also, Trudeau did a freeze on the sale, purchase, or transfer of handguns, stopping all handgun purchases. It’s still in effect. So, you can’t get a handgun to defend yourself. You have no means of purchase except for hunting, and every single one of the anti-gun, the gun rights oppressors, the Left’s whole argument about trying to stop mass shootings. We need all of these things. Well, Canada had all these things. A ban on extended mags. All the bans that you could have on every semi-auto possible, and it still wasn’t enough. And still led to a mass shooting. Every protocol failed. Teddy Nappen  06:13 And by the way, this isn’t the first. Quite frankly, Canada is the inventor of the mass shooter. On December 6, 1989, at Montreal’s Ecole Polytechnique 14 women were killed as a student went through shooting up the place. (https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/polytechnique-tragedy) And that was their justification for all their anti-gun agendas. This is what they said, oh, we’ve got to go after firearms. He just walked through the school and just started shooting the people. They had no means of defense. Then in 2006 a gunman killed one woman and injured 19 others at Montreal college being (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2006/sep/15/topstories3.internationaleducationnews) He was shot dead by the police saying he wanted to die like Romeo and Juliet. Okay. The man must have been an acting major, a fan of Shakespeare. Teddy Nappen  07:00 And then cut to, I love this one. In 2020, Canada’s deadliest mass shooting. The shooter was Gabriel Wortman. His wife, Lisa Banfield, goes into details in her book, “The First Survivor: Life With Canada’s Deadliest Mass Shooter.” Wortman walks through and kills 22 people in the span of 13 hours, dressed up as a Mountie. He went across a 200 kilometer stretch. Shooting people for 13 hours, 13 hours. Going up and down, shooting and killing people. And no one was there to defend themselves. No one has any guns. This is in 2020. But the Left doesn’t want you to know that. Teddy Nappen  07:44 Just like they don’t want you to know that every time when they hailed Venezuela as the great socialist experiment, when you have Bernie Sanders, who was honeymooning in the Soviet Union and arguing that Cuba has the best healthcare. They always move the goal post or they’ll memory hole it. Trying to make the argument. Oh, this doesn’t fit the narrative. So, we can’t talk about this. That’s how disgusting these people are. And by the way, they even have their mandatory buyback program in Canada. By the way, it’s a complete failure, too. They got like 200 guns. No one’s complying. And that was the thing that The Trace even argued. They said that the hardest part about running a mandatory gun buyback is compliance. Because unless you’re going to go door to door at the barrel of a gun and stealing people’s property, gun buybacks, mandatory gun buyback programs fail every time. So, this ends the debate. This factually ends the debate that every single means of gun control that they argue to stop a mass shooting will not stop a mass shooting. Teddy Nappen  08:52 Not to mention that it is part of our culture where guns are. It’s, yeah, I’m trying to remember the numbers, and it was like 350 million. I can but it’s the we already have a mass number of firearms in the United States. So, the Nirvana fallacy, logical fallacy of trying to argue, if we just get rid of all the guns, there’ll be no mass shootings. No. Because the Left need to understand that there is evil in this world. There is evil. Yeah, they always say. They always try to justify it. Like, oh, I’m poor, I’m impoverished, I’m an illegal who came to this country. They always argue that, trying to justify evil and just accepting the fact. They try to mislabel evil. There is evil in this world, and you have to accept that there will always be terrible people wanting to commit terrible acts. Cut to, you know, taking a car and just running into a crowd of people at a Christmas parade. Cut to the U.K. with random stabbings and their mass pile of rapes that they don’t want to talk about. There will always be evil in this world, and they have to accept it. That is what needs to be brought. So, going on that cheery note, let’s talk about our good friends at WeShoot. Teddy Nappen  10:19 Well, WeShoot is a range in Lakewood. It’s an indoor range where both myself and my father go to shoot. We love to go there. WeShoot is conveniently located right off the Parkway.

So, you can have your choice in metal or polymer. There is the Vortex Triumph, which is in all new optics. Pretty cool. The Vortex makes some good stuff. My father has some Vortex on his guns. They also have the Ross Martin RM1C, which is a striker fire, compact pistol that is really taking the gun world by storm. You should check out the Ross Martin. It’s a really good gun.

Teddy Nappen  11:44 I also want to mention our good friends at The Association of New Jersey Rifle & Pistol Clubs. (ANJRPC.org) They’re quite busy fighting in the courts and with the legislation in Trenton. Murphy’s gone, but we did get some new laws. Of course, it’s a very tough environment, but we all get some changes that are critical. I’m glad to see modifications, although completely stopping when the folk have all the power is tough. The Association has made a big difference. We’re thankful, too. Because without The Association of New Jersey Rifle & Pistol Clubs, we would have no unified voice of an umbrella organizations, of our clubs and organizations. You need to be a member of The Association of New Jersey Rifle & Pistol Clubs. Go to anjrpc.org and join today. You’ll get a newsletter. The best newsletter in the state on guns. You’ll see email alerts, and you’ll know that what’s going on when it comes to our gun rights in New Jersey. That’s anjrpc.org. Teddy Nappen  12:39 I would also like to shamelessly plug my father’s book, which is New Jersey Gun Law. The Bible in New Jersey gun law. It’s over 500 pages with 120 topics, all questions and answers. It’s your guidebook to not becoming a GOFU in New Jersey. And man, let me tell you some of the times people call up and ask, and it’s after the fact. I’m like, did you read the book? Did you read the book? We’ll still fight and defend you, but it would have been a lot easier if you never had the problem in the first place. And most of the clients would agree with that, I’m afraid. So, get your copy of the book today. Go to EvanNappen.com,  EvanNappen.com. Get your copy of New Jersey Gun Law. Teddy Nappen  13:23 So, let’s get to Press Checks. As you know, Press Checks are always free. This is something I find very important, because I think people are forgetting, when the Left had their unfettered power. That’s why you’re seeing a lot of the Left moving to the trying to pivot to the center. Saying, like, oh yeah, we know, mass migration is bad. Yeah, yeah. And trying to, like, epically fail when asked how many genders there are. They can’t define what a woman is. But we have to remember that it’s not just the Left, but it’s the insidious institutions that they abuse. The fact that this is a term that I’m pushing for because it’s a fact. It’s gun deserts. The Left realize now that they can’t win in the public square of debate. Because with gun control, we can easily, we can easily defend and fight against it. And we can push back on every one of their points, because every one of their points are nonsensical. They’ve lost the media where we have alternative tech. There’s Rumble, and you have all the voices. X has become slightly more free. And because a lot of the big tech companies want to use AI, they’re allowing, okay, yeah, we’ll let the conservatives have their points and speak. Teddy Nappen  14:57 So, this is the one bid. It’s the financial institutions. If you all remember the heavy issue of de-banking. I caught this article, and I was like, oh yeah, I remember that issue. (https://www.nraila.org/articles/20260209/jp-morgan-in-growing-trend-backtracks-on-anti-gun-policies) I love how JP Morgan says they’re going to roll back the de-banking that they were committing against gun shops and firearm companies. So, to give a little history lesson, this comes right from the NRA-ILA’s article of JP Morgan’s backtracking. I mean, this goes back to Obama Biden, like the 2010s, where firearm-related businesses were having trouble with Bank of America. Even though they said they didn’t have any corporate policy, we know they’re lying, of course. And then the allegations were getting worse, and Bank of America said, no, no, we don’t have any policy. Then finally, in 2014 they admitted under Operation Choke Point where they threatened to throttle any institution that exercises Second Amendment rights by pressuring banks to drop business, to drop businesses in the firearm industry. So, thankfully, President. Trump got in and stopped that operation. But it proved the point. We were right. The banks were weaponized against the firearm industry. They were trying to go after any form of gun shops or any firearm industries. You know, they can’t get a loan. Then my favorite one was when they were trying to do the credit card scheme. They were trying to track firearm purchases on credit cards. Teddy Nappen  16:34 Also, I love this one where they would pressure firearm industry groups to not sell certain semi-automatic firearms, and also cutting back on standard capacity mags. They like to say high capacity, but it’s just standard capacity. Prohibiting the sale of magazines. Then, of course, the Left would tote saying, look at the firearm industry. They support our anti-gun movement. Well, you’re trying to de-bank me and lose my business. So, I have to agree with you. You know, if you point a gun at someone and demand them to say things, they’ll say things. It’s so disingenuous. At the point where there was a 2019 hearing where the institutions were hauled in. Coming to answer questions that they delved in when it came to banks working with firearm industry and forcing them to push the anti-gun policies. It’s the level of disgusting nature that comes into play. We need to remember that. We need to remember these institutions. Because when the pendulum swings, which it will, at some point, they will get back to business as usual. Attacking our rights. And even President Trump, right back in office, 2024. He comes back in and says to Davos. He gives a huge speech and points to the CEO. JP Morgan and everybody else, I hope you start opening your banks to conservatives. What you’re doing is wrong. Pointing it right out. Not saying, oh, the firearm industry. No, conservatives. Because that’s what it is. It’s conservatives that they are de-banking. It’s conservatives they are attacking and weaponizing. Teddy Nappen  18:21 And even going back to the, I think it was the National Shooting Sports Foundation that even addressed this exact issue. In 2021, they testified in a Congress hearing stating that JP Morgan’s Chase would not lend to manufacturers of modern sporting rifles. There’s your proof, right there. So, remember this. Do not trust the big tech companies. Do not trust the banks. Because right now, the culture has shifted, but they are fully willing to get back. If you look at the donors to Kamala Harris, they all donated to Kamala. They all donated. They all heavily donate to Democrats. Only now, because we’re in power, they’re like, oh yeah, we’re for you guys. Yeah, okay. Enjoy chasing that AI trend while you guys won’t de platform us. But we need to remember that. So, we need to embrace and look to other means, because this is the games they play. We need to find ways around that. Teddy Nappen  19:25 It’s time to finish off with the GOFU, everyone’s favorite. We need to. Also, this is a kind of a lesson in observational awareness. Jeff Cooper preached that idea of observational awareness. He even made a little game of X’s and O’s. Where, if you go into any room or place, you make sure you see everyone and make an O. And as you’re walking through, if you miss somebody who saw you first, give that one an X. Play that game in your head as a scoring method. Yeah, because observational awareness is key. I’m going to highlight that with an actual article from USACarry.com. (https://www.usacarry.com/man-fatally-shoots-attacker-while-playing-pokemon-go-in-anderson-indiana/) A man was attacked while playing Pokémon Go in the woods. He was walking through the woods and was playing Pokémon Go. A 51-year old businessman was playing Pokémon Go, a scavenger hunt, on his phone, and he was ambushed by a homeless man who punched him in the back of the head and stole his phone. At which time, he, you know, drew his firearm and fatally shot the man. It was ruled fully justified, because, first of all, you’re getting punched in the back of the head. People have died from that. And look, there may be more to the story of why it was justified, but the police and the prosecutor found that it presented and seemed like a strong case of self-defense. The fact that he was ranting and raving. But this is the point. This is a clear demonstration. He could have avoided that whole encounter, and it could have gone very bad very quickly. Because all it took is one Left wing prosecutor to say he shot an unarmed man, and his life would have been ruined. Observational awareness, situational awareness. Keep your head on a swivel. That is the GOFU. Don’t be a GOFU. Teddy Nappen  21:19 This is Teddy Nappen reminding you that gun laws do not protect honest citizens from criminals. They protect criminals from honest citizens.

Governor Lamont is proposing more incentives to recruit and retain police officers and firefighters. The push comes amid staffing shortages in both industries across the state. But does it really do enough, especially for police, to attract people to the jobs and keep them? We asked State Senator Paul Cicarella, who is a leading lawmaker on the Public Safety and Security Committee.

Frank Milstead joined Bruce & Gaydos and shared insight into how law enforcement is handling the Nancy Guthrie investigation.

The U.S. Army's Yuma Proving Ground in Arizona is filled with all manner of things that can seriously hurt or kill a person. And the U.S. military would really appreciate it if people would stop trespassing there.The giant desert training facility, which was formed by General George S. Patton during World War II, is used as a test center for just about every piece of equipment used in ground combat. The 1,300-square-mile facility is well marked with warning signs about trespassing but Sgt. Gregory Harper of the YPG Conservation Law Enforcement Agency said that doesn't always stop hikers and other desert wanderers.He said, “There are a good handful of people that I run into out there that are genuinely good people. They are cooperative and their intent isn't bad, but that won't protect them from the hazards on our ranges.”Those hazards include environmental factors like desert heat and potentially dangerous wildlife as well as limited infrastructure, making cell calls difficult if trouble arises.#USArmy, #YumaProvingGround, #MilitaryNews, #DefenseNews, #ArmyTraining, #MilitaryTesting, #UnexplodedOrdnance, #PublicSafety, #DesertHazards, #Arizona, #NationalSecurity, #MilitaryTechnology, #RangeSafety, #Trespassing, #CombatTesting, #Artillery, #MilitaryRange, #LaserTechnology, #DefenseIndustry, #GovernmentNews, #MilitaryWarning

Are Psychopaths As Dangerous As The Legal System Believes?  For decades, judicial systems in North America have been using formal assessments to identify these psychopathic individuals. Scoring high on these tests can lead to harsher sentencing and exclusion from rehabilitation programs based on the controversial belief that such inmates cannot be changed.

In August 2004, 21-year-old Katara Deboise Johnson finished her shift as an assistant manager at Taco Bell in Taylor, Texas, and drove home to her mobile home on North Dolan Street. By the following evening, her grandmother would discover her shot to death inside her bedroom.Her car was missing. Her cell phone was gone. Hours after her death, someone answered her phone and claimed to be Katara before laughter echoed in the background and the call disconnected.Her maroon Mitsubishi Lancer was later found abandoned at the Thorndale Community Pool in neighboring Milam County, miles from her home. No weapon was recovered. No signs of forced entry were reported. More than 50 people were interviewed. Polygraphs were administered. The Texas Rangers and Department of Public Safety assisted. Still, no arrests have been made.In the months that followed, frustration grew. Family members publicly questioned whether enough resources were being devoted to the case. The NAACP launched its own inquiry. Katara's sister Kenyatta revealed she had been questioned as a possible suspect, something she strongly denied. Police have never publicly named a suspect.Years passed. Her mother died in 2012 without answers. In 2019, the Williamson County Sheriff's Office took over the investigation. Authorities now believe more than one person may know what happened that night, particularly how Katara's car ended up in Thorndale.If you have any information about the murder of Katara Debois Johnson, please contact Texas Crime Stoppers at (800) 346-3243.You can support Gone Cold and listen to the show ad-free at https://patreon.com/gonecoldpodcast Find us at https://www.gonecold.comFor Gone Cold merch, visit https://gonecold.dashery.comFollow Gone Cold on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, YouTube, and X.

Safety isn't a slogan when streets get crowded and celebrations kick off. We sit down with a Texas Department of Public Safety sergeant for an unfiltered look at Mardi Gras patrols in Galveston—how a small island city scales up with state troopers and partner agencies to keep families safe, traffic moving, and DWIs down without killing the vibe. It's a masterclass in proactive policing and the power of visible, coordinated presence.From parades to neighborhoods, we tackle a growing hazard: mini electric pocket bikes. They're fast, silent, and, under Texas law, not street legal. Our guest breaks down exactly why these “mini pocket bikes” don't qualify for public roads, what makes an e-bike legal, and how parents can avoid tragic outcomes by setting strict rules and keeping these toys off the street. Then we open the door on a quieter crisis—youth vaping—and how it's bleeding into underage DUIs. We talk real risks, from THC exposure to potential contamination, and share practical steps for families, schools, and communities to push back.Truck lovers and daily commuters will appreciate our deep dive into CDL testing, weigh station enforcement, and why overweight citations matter. The sergeant details the tougher inspections rolling out along major Texas corridors, what triggers mandatory pull-ins, and how serious crashes can shut down roads for hours. We round it out with a fast lap through automotive headlines: China's push for mechanical EV door releases after fatal incidents, Volkswagen's software-first strategy in China, Porsche's EV cost crossroads, and Cadillac's move into Formula One—all while dealer networks wrestle with direct-to-consumer sales models.Hit play for candid insights, practical safety tips, and a clear-eyed view of how policy, technology, and enforcement shape our roads.

//The Wire//2300Z February 5, 2026////ROUTINE////BLUF: ARIZONA POLICE HELICOPTER CRASHES DURING SMALL ARMS ENGAGEMENT IN FLAGSTAFF. MORE DETAILS EMERGE REGARDING CHINESE BIOLAB IN VEGAS.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------HomeFront-Nevada: More details have come to light regarding the Chinese Biolab discovered in Las Vegas a few days ago. After the story became public, several eyewitnesses have come forward to local media groups, with additional testimony that provides more context. One of the housekeepers that serviced the Vegas residence where the biolab was discovered had actually previously reported the facility to the FBI on January 9, 2026. Per this testimony, herself and several other cleaning staff members became severely ill after working in the residence back in April of 2025.Analyst Comment: Eyewitness testimony must always be considered with a grain of salt, however if this report is accurate, the FBI would have been aware of this facility (and the fact that random people were being infected by whatever biological materials were there), for much longer than they let on.Arizona: Early this morning, a downed-aircraft incident was reported as one Arizona DPS helicopter crashed in the vicinity of a an active shooter situation. The incident began as officers responded to call of domestic violence on W Shellie Drive at approximately 08:31 pm last night. As officers arrived on scene, the suspect engaged the officers with small arms fire, which kicked off a protracted small arms firefight that continued over the next two hours. During this time, the suspect fired upon officers from multiple rooftops throughout the area, maneuvering between multiple positions throughout the engagement.Approximately two hours into the firefight, an Arizona DPS helicopter (Registration: N56AZ, Callsign: RANGER 56) arrived on scene to assist officers on the ground in understanding where the suspect was hiding. Shortly after the helicopter arrived on scene, the aircraft crashed in the elevated terrain a short distance from the initial reported shooting location. Both the pilot and the onboard paramedic were killed in the crash. The initial suspect that began the engagement was arrested at almost the same time as the crash, and has been hospitalized with non-life threatening small arms wounds.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: So far, official statements by the Arizona Department of Public Safety don't confirm exactly what happened regarding the helicopter crash in Flagstaff last night. No answers were provided during this morning's press conference, nor was any causal link mentioned between the engagement on the ground, and the helicopter crash.Since the crash itself was catastrophic, it will take some time for an investigation to determine if any small arms rounds struck the helicopter or not. It would not be the first time that hardened criminals, when backed into a corner, fired off a burst of small arms fire at a police helicopter, which resulted in catastrophe. Considering the detail of the suspect being located on rooftops during this engagement, this is the most likely theory at the moment. Otherwise, there is not much information in the public realm to state with confidence that this is exactly what happened.The ADS-B feed of the flight path does not provide much context, other than one detail which might be useful for investigators. As the aircraft arrived on scene, the pilot began a low-pass flyover of the target compound, directly over the residence that the shooting was reported at. After this low-pass over the target compound, the aircraft was observed climbing out to the north and west, before flying in an erratic manner. Locals reported hearing many gunshots and explosions in the general direction of this residence, shortly before the helicopter was observed crashing. Immediately before impact, the ADS-B feed for the airc

 Last year, when Kaarin Knudson became the mayor of Oregon’s third-largest city, her plan was to revitalize downtown Eugene, build more housing and shrink the city’s roughly $10 million budget gap for the 2025-2027 biennium.    The goalposts haven’t shifted much, except now there’s a growing problem. Knudson says many of her constituents are concerned about federal law enforcement in their communities, especially after a surge in Immigration and Customs Enforcement activity across Oregon last fall.    Now, Knudson’s mayorship has turned into a balancing act: tackling housing supply, transportation infrastructure and public safety, all with the city’s eyes on Knudson and her office as they navigate ongoing federal uncertainty.    Mayor Knudson joins us to reflect on her first year in office and share how she’s thinking about the road ahead  

A deep dive into the real‑world consequences of weakening law enforcement, including the tragic case of Jocelyn Nungaray and the growing tension between Houston Police and City Council. Michael connects the dots between crime, immigration failures, and the dangerous narratives shaping the nation.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
