Before he was a two-time World Series champion and four-time All-Star, Pepper Martin was jumping freight trains to spring training to save a dime. After he retired, he was choking out an umpire in Havana. In between: smoke bombs disguised as a fire emergency, a painting crew that wasn't hired to paint, a hospital room cowboy band concert nobody asked for, a stint running an Oklahoma City hockey team, and a batting line across two World Series that's still a Major League record today. Jeff traces the full career of Johnny Leonard Roosevelt "Pepper" Martin — the Wild Horse of the Osage — from a cotton farm in Temple, Oklahoma to a fistfight in Cuba, with stops at Comiskey Park, the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel (twice), and Branch Rickey's office. Also in this episode: Jeff and Mark remember Blue Jays closer Duane Ward, who passed away at 62 during a reunion for Toronto's back-to-back championship teams. A position player picks up a two-RBI single off a catcher making his first career pitching appearance. Mets utility man Jose Iglesias/Canelita heads to Broadway for the Buena Vista Social Club musical. And Wax Pack Heroes returns with a batch of 1972 Topps cards sent in by a listener.

What happens when science, history, and modern politics collide?Retired physical anthropologist Elizabeth Weiss joins the MattBeall Podcast for a wide-ranging conversation on human evolution, ancient skeletal analysis, Native American archaeology, and one of the most controversial debates in anthropology today: the repatriation of ancient humanremains.Drawing on decades of research, Weiss discusses what bones can reveal about the lives of ancient people, the mysteries surrounding Kennewick Man, Sunrise Child, and some of the earliest human ancestors, as well as why she believes preserving skeletal collections is essential for future scientificdiscovery.The conversation also explores prehistoric surgery, violence in the archaeological record, population history, and how advances in DNA analysis continue to reshape our understanding of humanity's past.Whether you agree with her conclusions or not, this episodeexamines the evidence, the science, and the difficult questions surrounding the preservation of our shared human history.

For over a century, witnesses across Michigan and Wisconsin have described the same impossible figure – upright, wolf-headed, and aware of being watched. Some walked away with scars, others with a story they were afraid to tell for decades.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/dogmanREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/yckpcp8sFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Across Michigan and Wisconsin, encounters with an upright, wolf-headed figure span more than a century – from nineteenth-century logging camps to farm roads, deer stands, and suburban backyards. Witnesses describe a creature with human-like hands, glowing eyes, and an unsettling awareness of being watched, several of them staying silent about what they saw for years rather than risk being disbelieved. Hunters, drivers, and at least one retired sheriff's deputy all report the same detail – something that watches back, and in more than one account, something that speaks.CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…00:00:00.000 = The Foreboding00:06:13.435 = Show Open00:08:57.805 = Part One00:18:33.555 = Part Two ***00:46:24.349 = Part Three ***01:00:02.576 = Part Four ***01:14:17.255 = Part Five ***01:27:28.423 = Part Six ***01:34:00.844 = Part Seven ***01:46:18.276 = Show Close01:47:34.794 = SONG: “Dogman of Silver Creek” by Dark Weirdness*** = Begins immediately after inserted ad breakLISTEN ON PODCAST APPS: Look for this podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Amazon Music, Pandora, TuneIn Radio, and other podcast apps.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: March 22, 2025Weird Darkness devotes a full episode to the Dogman, the upright, wolf-headed cryptid reported across Michigan and Wisconsin for more than a century, moving through firsthand encounters, a claimed government cover-up, a witnessed fight between a Dogman and two Sasquatch, and a side-by-side comparison of Dogman folklore against traditional werewolf mythology.It opens with the creature's documented history, tracing the first alleged sighting to 1887, when a group of lumberjacks in Wexford County, Michigan described a being with the body of a man and the head of a dog during the state's great logging era. Similar reports followed in Allegan County in the 1950s and in Cross Village, Big Rapids, and Manistee County during the 1960s, while Elkhorn, Wisconsin became the center of activity in the early 1990s. The segment also catalogs standalone incidents tied to the legend: four horses found dead with their eyes open in 1917, seven-foot-four claw marks reported on a church door in 1957, a farmer found dead at his plow surrounded by oversized canine tracks in 1997, a 2006 backyard sighting in Shelby Township, Michigan, and an army veteran's account of a wolf-headed creature pacing his truck through Manistee National Forest. Odawa oral tradition describing a two-legged, wolf-like being near Lake Michigan predates all of it, and the episode raises the theory that Dogman sightings cluster in years ending in seven.From there, the episode turns to the case that gave the cryptid one of its best-known names: the Beast of Bray Road. Lori Endrizzi's fall 1989 sighting on Bray Road outside Elkhorn, Wisconsin, first documented by researcher Linda Godfrey in the 2003 book "The Beast of Bray Road," describes a kneeling, brownish-gray figure with long claws that turned to meet her headlights. Two years later, on Halloween night 1991, Doris Gipson struck the same stretch of road and was chased by a clawed, upright creature that clung to her car's rear bumper as she fled. Walworth County Animal Control officer Jon Fredrikson began compiling reports in a manila folder marked "Werewolf," which grew to include a December 1990 sighting by a child witness, clawed tracks near Potter's Road that led locals to nickname the creature "Pottsy," a 1990 roadside sighting by Mike Etten, and two separate encounters reported by high school student Tom Brichta. The same story traces the legend back further still, to 1936, when night watchman Mark Shackleman encountered a six-foot, black-furred creature scratching at an Indigenous burial ground outside Racine, Wisconsin's St. Coletta Convent, a creature that reportedly spoke a single word, "Gadarah," a name tied to the biblical account of Jesus casting out demons at Gadara.Next, the episode moves to a February 2012 case from rural Chenango, New York, where Brandon Close and his neighbor Gene pursued the source of a scream that had left Close's cattle huddled against an electric fence, only to be chased through the woods by an eight-foot creature that kept pace with their all-terrain vehicle at highway speed. The account continues with an unmarked black van and armed personnel arriving at Close's property the following day, ultimately removing the memory cards from his trail cameras.A separate account follows a Big Rapids, Michigan night watchman's 1961 encounter with a six-foot, grayish-brown creature outside his home near the Haymarsh State Game Area, an incident the witness says he photographed under a streetlight.The episode then recounts an anonymous 1992 camping trip in which the witness watched a black, long-armed creature stalk him along a dry creek bed before a Sasquatch intervened, leading to a violent fight that ended when a second, larger Sasquatch killed the Dogman and dragged its body into the woods.Hunting-season encounters follow, beginning with Peter's October 16, 2012 experience in Pontiac, Illinois, where a wolf-sized creature bit his arm during a chase near his family's deer stand before inexplicably retreating. A separate witness describes two Dogman sightings twenty years apart, the first in Alto, Michigan in 1988 and the second in nearby Lowell, Michigan in 2008, when a blue-eyed creature that had followed him since childhood appeared on his roof and spoke a single word, "Don't."Another segment follows Derek, an Ohio mycology enthusiast, to a 2016 night-fishing trip along the Mahoning River in Niles, Trumbull County, Ohio, where he encountered a crouching creature near an old train trestle that stood to meet his gaze before retreating into the brush.A Fitchburg, Wisconsin case follows college student Matt, who in 2006 heard a scream during a minor earthquake and glimpsed a wolf-headed, humanoid figure in a passing car's headlights. A separate story follows a man identified as Mark to his late grandfather's cabin in Sierra County, Ohio, where he discovered why his grandfather had banned the family from the property for years, after an unseen creature chased him back to the cabin and reappeared at the tree line with two others.A Reed City, Michigan hunting party's four-day encounter in November 2007 follows, in which Sam and his companions repeatedly crossed paths with a yellow-eyed, hunchbacked creature that left claw marks on a rifle stock and a cabin door. The episode then follows Gabe to a rural Montana property, where lightning revealed a broad-shouldered, upright creature in his yard, followed weeks later by a closer encounter near his satellite dish that prompted him to move.Retired law enforcement officer Laura Love's account follows, describing a nearly seven-and-a-half-foot, dark-furred creature that struck a truck near the West Weber Road overpass on U.S. Highway 31 before vanishing into roadside brush. A separate story follows Janet, who for years believed she had seen a deformed bear near Danbury, Wisconsin's Long Lake before her son's own Dogman sighting prompted her to reconsider what she and her sister-in-law Amy witnessed on Rustic Road.A November 7, 2016 account from Duluth, Minnesota follows, describing an anonymous graphic designer's sighting of a hunched, wolf-faced cr

My friend Joe sells real estate. He called me about one of his clients, a retired nurse who was selling her house, because something about her story wasn't sitting right with him. She'd lost her savings to a man named Edward Smog. Found her online, quoted her scripture, told her he was her way out of debt. By the time I got involved, she was out a hundred and fifty grand. Now a new scammer is coming after her. She believes he's an offshore oil rig worker, and they're going to get married. I'm trying to stop him before he takes any more of her money.

Green Berets are trained to solve problems that don't come with instructions. Green Berets build trust where none exists. Green Berets lead small teams in uncertain environments. Green Berets adapt when the plan falls apart. Those same qualities that make exceptional Special Forces soldiers also make exceptional entrepreneurs. For Green Berets their next mission begins the day they leave the Regiment.In this episode, Fran Racioppi sat down with Retired U.S. Army Captain and Green Beret Ben Harrow during the 2nd Annual Stars and Stripes Classic to discuss transition from Special Forces to entrepreneurship and why so many members of the Regiment are uniquely equipped to build successful businesses after service.Drawing from his experiences leading in combat, recovering from catastrophic injuries, and building businesses after military service, Ben explains how the qualities that define a Green Beret - adaptability, resilience, disciplined execution, and solving complex problems with limited resources are the very same traits required to succeed in business. We discuss the realities of building scalable organizations, developing repeatable systems, hiring the right people, and learning when to lead from the front and when to empower others to take ownership.We also explore the changing landscape of the Special Forces Regiment as a new generation of leaders emerges without the combat experiences of the Global War on Terror. Ben shares why preserving the culture, brotherhood, and lessons learned from previous generations has never been more important, both inside the Regiment and long after service ends.Finally, we discuss the importance of the Stars and Stripes Classic and why events like this help preserve the team room. The uniforms may come off, but the relationships, shared experiences, and commitment to one another remain. For Green Berets, that brotherhood becomes the foundation for new missions, new businesses, and new opportunities.QUOTES“The leadership had never really experienced combat.”“That same sense of brotherhood that we felt playing college lacrosse, the only thing closest to that was being on an ODA.” “Your country has asked you to do some pretty amazing things in your career. Now have you ever thought about running a company?” “Part of the reason you're selected is to be that adaptive thinker and say to any problem you come up to “I'll figure it out.”“Never lead off with no.”“You have to bring people in that are willing to get after it.” “I don't want to lose to Navy.” “It's just background noise.”HIGHLIGHTS0:00 Introduction2:23 Welcome to the Stars & Stripes Classic4:49 The status of the Special Forces Regiment10:04 Special Forces Entrepreneurism20:35 Character MattersThe Jedburgh Podcast is brought to you by OneBrief; enabling military leaders to make innovative, informed and deliberate decisions faster than ever before.

As America recently marked its 250th anniversary, Dr. Zach Clinton sits down with Lt. Gen. (Ret.) William "Jerry" Boykin, a 36-year Army veteran, original member of Delta Force, former commander of both Delta Force and Army Special Forces, and former Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence, for a conversation on what freedom truly costs and who's responsible to carry it forward. General Boykin reflects on his calling into military service, leadership lessons forged in some of the most high-stakes special operations in modern U.S. history, and the invisible wounds such PTSD, survivor's guilt, hopelessness, and moral injury that so many veterans carry home. The conversation turns candid as he shares what kept his faith anchored after witnessing real darkness, and what it means to be a warrior in God's Kingdom, not just on the battlefield. Now serving as Executive Vice President of the Family Research Council and continuing his ministry as an ordained pastor, Boykin speaks to a possible Great Awakening stirring across America and why he believes it will be sustained not by politics, but by strong marriages and Christ-centered homes. He closes with a direct charge to the next generation of fathers, mothers, pastors, and leaders on what to remember for such a time as this. It's a rare, unguarded look at where courage, conviction, and faith intersect from a man who has spent his life defending freedom on two fronts: physical and spiritual.

A new article in the Wall Street Journal says more and more companies are bringing older CEOs out of retirement to run major corporations again. These aren't younger guys who retired early; they're generally men older than 70. Cracker Barrel, Boeing, and Verizon are just a few of the latest companies to go this route. Is that wise? Could it jade younger people who are already struggling to get a foot in the door? Millennial and Inside Sources Executive Producer Andy Cupp shares his thoughts.

“I tell composers to collaborate with a poet who takes their craft as seriously as they take their craft. It's a very rare creative who can do both well. What most often happens is a really good composer isn't a very good poet, or a very good poet is a mediocre composer. One side of that creative process will lose. That's why I love to collaborate, because you bring in a separate creative mind who has different standards and who takes their craft just as seriously. It keeps both sides intellectually honest, able to not lose objectivity.”Acclaimed as "the preeminent choral lyricist of our time," poet, author, composer, and clinician Charles Anthony Silvestri specializes in providing bespoke poetry for choral composers, especially texts in Latin, both sacred and secular. He is the author of more than seventy published works in collaboration with over a hundred composers worldwide, including celebrated composers such as Eric Whitacre, Dan Forrest, Ola Gjeilo, Christopher Tin, and Kim Andre Arnesen; and for groups such as the King's Singers, VOCES8, San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus, and the Tallis Scholars. As a clinician, Silvestri speaks to choirs about his works, the creative process, and about his collaborative relationships with composers. He has given live and webcast presentations at Lincoln Center, the Kennedy Center, Disney Hall, and at universities and schools around the country. His poems for Eric Whitacre's Sleep and Leonardo Dreams of His Flying Machine have also been published as children's books. He is also the author of A Silver Thread (GIA 2019), a retrospective of almost 20 years of his lyric poetry; and his essays have been published by Business Insider and The Huffington Post. Silvestri's words have been sung by thousands of choirs around the world, and have been heard on television, radio, and Grammy-winning recordings.In addition to writing choral lyrics, Silvestri is also an accomplished artist/painter. He is an aficionado of Irish traditional music and plays concertina in a trad band and at pub sessions around the world. Retired from the classroom in 2025, he is a veteran teacher with almost four decades of experience teaching kindergarten through college. He currently lives, writes, and makes music in Lawrence, Kansas.To get in touch with Tony, you can find him on Facebook (@CharlesAnthonySilvestri) or Instagram (@tony_silvestri) or visit his website, charlesanthonysilvestri.com/Email choirfampodcast@gmail.com to contact our hosts.Podcast music from Podcast.coPhoto in episode artwork by Trace Hudson
On this week's episode of the AJ Bell Money & Markets podcast, Danni Hewson and Dan Coatsworth assess how Andy Burnham's first few days as UK Prime Minister have been received by markets. They consider what the appointment of John Healey as Chancellor means for defence spending, and the row about how a VAT cut on domestic energy bills will be paid for. There's been some good news on inflation for the new government but it's likely to be short lived, and there's pressure to cut employers' National Insurance for under 25s. Rachel Vahey tackles the popular question: once you retire, do you dip into your ISA or pension first? Danni and Dan discuss why is Primark cutting prices ahead of being spun out of its parent company. James Flintoft, AJ Bell's head of investment solutions, joins Dan to discuss the broader state of markets as the oil price climbs back above $90 dollars a barrel.

Signing the Declaration of Independence was just the beginning. We then had to go out and confront the British and earn our independence. The first major battle of the American Revolution after signing the Declaration of Independence was the Battle of Long Island in the summer of 1776. Gen. George Washington faced off against a larger and better equipped Naval force and though the Continental Army retreated, General Washington showed traits that would be be vital for the eventual victory in the war. To discuss the importance of these events and the lessons learned by Gen. Washington and the colonists, we are deeply honored to welcome a great friend to Constituting America.

The CopDoc Podcast - Season 10 - Episode 174Guest: Terry Dwyer, J.D. – Professor, Author, & PlaywrightIn this episode, Dr. Steve Morreale sits down with Terry Dwyer, J.D., a professor at Western Connecticut State University and a retired New York State Police investigator. Terry shares insights from his diverse career stretching across the Navy Reserves, corrections, the court system, state policing, legal practice, and creative writing. They dive deep into the differences between leadership and management, police culture, systemic issues facing women in law enforcement, and the trauma that impacts officers and their families.Key TakeawaysThe Foundations of Corrections: Terry strongly believes every police officer should spend time working in corrections first. It builds crucial, real-world communication and de-escalation skills by forcing you to manage difficult situations entirely with your words.Leadership vs. Micromanagement: A disturbing shift in modern policing culture is the rise of the "liability-first" mindset. Exceptional supervisors lead by establishing trust and giving their professionals autonomy, whereas poor managers default to punitive micromanagement and "dog-piling" charges onto struggling officers.Secondary Trauma & The Family Unit: Law enforcement trauma isn't just about active gunfights; it is cumulative. Terry emphasizes that the true partner riding through the career's highs and deep lows with an officer is their spouse, highlighting his 42-year marriage to his wife, Joan.Culture and the 30x30 Initiative: Discussing his background representing female officers in harassment suits, Terry notes that police culture can be intensely insulated. He underscores the importance of the 30x30 Initiative (aiming for 30% women in policing by 2030) and notes that a department's culture is purely dictated by its top leadership.Featured Works by Terry DwyerBook: The Badge Between Us: Duty, Marriage, and Family – Part memoir, part true crime, and part love letter to his wife, exploring the unseen weight a police family carries.Play: Depositions – An MFA thesis play premiered at the Grand Fringe Festival, based on his qualitative research and legal cases surrounding sexual harassment and the experiences of female police officers.Upcoming Project: A true-crime book detailing a 50-year-old cold case involving a missing young Black man whose remains were finally identified in 2024, focusing on a dedicated detective who investigated it into his retirement.Hey there!

Hunting A Serial Killer in Canada: Retired Toronto Police Talks About the Case That Shocked a Nation. From tracking one of Canada's most notorious serial killers to leading the heartbreaking investigation into the murder of an eight-year-old child, retired Toronto Police homicide detective Hank Idsinga spent three decades confronting humanity at its darkest. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. Every homicide detective knows that one case can define a career. The Podcast is available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, iHeartradio and most major podcast platforms. #LawEnforcementTalk #Free #Podcast #Radio For Hank Idsinga, there were several. Supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin. As a Retired Homicide investigator with the Toronto Police Service, Idsinga became one of Canada's most respected detectives. During a remarkable 30-year career, he investigated countless murders, managed some of the country's highest-profile homicide investigations, and ultimately became the Major Case Manager responsible for one of the largest murder investigations in Canadian history. The conversation is available on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeartRadio, and most other major podcast platforms, where audiences continue discovering firsthand accounts from those who have lived them. Today, Idsinga joins the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast to discuss Hunting A Serial Killer in Canada, the emotional realities of homicide investigations, and the experiences that inspired his #1 National Bestselling Book, The High Road: Confessions of a Homicide Cop. The compelling interview is available on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast Website, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeartradio and other major Podcast platforms, where audiences continue discovering extraordinary stories from the people behind the badge. Hunting A Serial Killer in Canada: Retired Toronto Police Talks About the Case That Shocked a Nation. A Childhood Promise Became a Lifelong Mission Some careers begin with opportunity. Hank Idsinga's began with tragedy. When he was just ten years old, he learned that his grandfather had been murdered during the Holocaust by the Nazis in World War II. That revelation changed his life forever. "From the age of ten, I knew I wanted to become a homicide detective." Rather than simply dream about police work, Idsinga dedicated himself to achieving that goal. Throughout his youth, he prepared for a career in law enforcement, eventually joining the Toronto Police Service. The episode is available across major platforms including their website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, with highlights shared across their Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn profiles. What began with patrol assignments eventually led him into homicide investigations, where his remarkable memory, analytical skills, compassion, and determination quickly earned the respect of fellow detectives and supervisors alike. Finding Answers for Families During Their Worst Moments Hollywood often portrays homicide detectives as emotionless investigators driven only by evidence. Reality is far different. Idsinga explains that homicide detectives do much more than process crime scenes and interview suspects. They also become the people responsible for delivering devastating news to grieving families. One moment they may be chasing a dangerous suspect. The next, they're standing on a family's front porch explaining that someone they love will never come home. "You have to investigate the crime, but you also have to care for the people left behind." That balance between relentless investigation and genuine compassion became one of the defining characteristics of Idsinga's career. Available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and most major Podcast networks. Hunting a Serial Killer Who Terrorized Toronto Perhaps no investigation better demonstrates the complexity of modern homicide investigations than the hunt for one of Toronto's most notorious serial killers. Hunting A Serial Killer in Canada: Retired Toronto Police Talks About the Case That Shocked a Nation. Between 2010 and 2017, eight men, most with connections to Toronto's Gay Village, vanished. At first, the disappearances appeared unrelated. As investigators dug deeper, disturbing patterns began to emerge. The investigation quickly expanded into the largest homicide investigation in Toronto Police Service history. Multiple agencies joined the effort, including: Toronto Police Service (TPS) Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) Numerous regional law enforcement partners Multiple specialized task forces As the Major Case Manager, Hank Idsinga coordinated an extraordinarily complex investigation involving hundreds of investigators, forensic experts, analysts, intelligence officers, and partner agencies. The pressure was immense. The community demanded answers. Families desperately wanted their loved ones found. The media closely followed every development. The Investigation That Finally Solved the Murders Years of painstaking investigative work eventually led detectives to Bruce McArthur, a self-employed landscaper. The Podcast is available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, iHeartradio and most major podcast platforms. Investigators uncovered horrifying evidence. The remains of several victims had been concealed inside large planter boxes located on properties where McArthur had worked. McArthur ultimately pleaded guilty to eight counts of first-degree murder. He received a sentence of life imprisonment with no eligibility for parole for 25 years. For investigators, however, the arrest represented more than solving a case. It provided long-awaited answers for grieving families and brought an end to years of fear within Toronto's community. "Every victim deserved answers. Every family deserved the truth." Standing Before the Cameras Throughout the serial killer investigation, Hank Idsinga became the public face of the case. That responsibility required more than investigative skill. It required calm leadership. Every news conference carried enormous significance. Families were listening. The public wanted reassurance. Reporters demanded updates. Criticism surrounding aspects of the investigation intensified as the case unfolded, but Idsinga consistently appeared composed, compassionate, and professional while communicating difficult developments to the public. Hunting A Serial Killer in Canada: Retired Toronto Police Talks About the Case That Shocked a Nation. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast continues bringing listeners real conversations from the front lines of crime, policing, trauma, survival, and healing. His ability to balance transparency with investigative integrity earned widespread respect throughout Canada. The Murder of an Eight-Year-Old Child While serial murder investigations receive national headlines, some of the most emotionally devastating cases involve children. Idsinga also served as the lead investigator in the murder of an eight-year-old child, a case that tested every investigator involved. Few crimes affect detectives more profoundly than those involving children. The emotional weight follows investigators long after the evidence has been processed and the courtroom proceedings conclude. "Child homicide investigations stay with you forever." Those cases remind detectives why every decision matters and why justice requires both determination and extraordinary attention to detail. What It Takes to Solve Homicides Television often portrays homicide investigations as quick breakthroughs driven by dramatic confessions. Idsinga explains that reality is far more methodical. Successful investigations depend upon countless hours of: Crime scene analysis Witness interviews Forensic science Intelligence gathering Surveillance Digital evidence Interagency cooperation Persistence Sometimes one overlooked detail changes everything. Sometimes cases take years. Sometimes detectives refuse to quit because families deserve answers. Those lessons form the backbone of Idsinga's investigative philosophy. From Homicide Detective to Bestselling Author After retiring from policing, Hank Idsinga chose to preserve those lessons in writing. His memoir, The High Road: Confessions of a Homicide Cop, became a #1 National Bestseller. The Book offers readers an honest look inside homicide investigations while revealing the emotional realities rarely discussed outside police circles. Hunting A Serial Killer in Canada: Retired Toronto Police Talks About the Case That Shocked a Nation. Supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin. Rather than glamorizing violence, Idsinga focuses on the human side of policing. Readers discover the victories. The heartbreak. The difficult conversations. The impossible decisions. And the tremendous responsibility detectives carry every day. The book has been praised for bringing authenticity to the true crime genre while honoring both victims and investigators. The Human Side of Homicide One of the strongest themes throughout Idsinga's career is empathy. He never viewed victims as case numbers. Every investigation represented someone's parent. Someone's child. Someone's friend. Someone whose family deserved answers. That perspective helped shape the detective he became and continues to influence the stories he shares today. The episode is available across major platforms including their website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, with highlights shared across their Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn profiles. "The investigation doesn't end with an arrest. Families carry that loss forever." Why These Stories Matter Today Public fascination with true crime, Social Media, streaming documentaries, and crime podcasts has never been greater. Millions follow investigations on Facebook, debate cases on Instagram, and listen through the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, iHeartradio and other Podcast platforms. Hunting A Serial Killer in Canada: Retired Toronto Police Talks About the Case That Shocked a Nation. Yet few hear directly from the investigators who actually solved these cases. That is what makes Hank Idsinga's conversation so compelling. Rather than sensationalizing violence, he provides an honest look at the investigative process, the emotional cost of homicide work, and the professionalism required to pursue justice under extraordinary pressure. His remarkable career demonstrates that solving murders requires far more than intelligence. It requires patience. Compassion. Leadership. And an unwavering commitment to victims who can no longer speak for themselves. For anyone interested in policing, criminal investigations, or the realities behind some of Canada's most significant homicide cases, Hank Idsinga's interview offers a rare opportunity to hear firsthand from the detective who helped bring one of the country's most notorious serial killers to justice while serving victims and their families with dignity throughout an extraordinary Retired Homicide career.

A woman is still missing, and the man who tortured her family with a fake ransom scheme just got a sentence that fits in a headline: probation. Tony Brueski lays out what happened to the person behind the bogus bitcoin ransom notes sent to the Guthrie family, and why a retired FBI agent is calling the outcome a disgrace. The charge was knocked down to harassment. The sentence was five years of probation, all counts running concurrently instead of stacked on top of each other. Retired special agent Jennifer Coffindaffer says the light punishment risks emboldening the wave of copycats already flooding investigators, a group now referred to inside the Bureau as the TMZ Twelve. There's more sitting underneath that plea deal than one bad sentence. An original ransom note demanded four million dollars with an escalating threat attached. A second letter, stranger still, went only to local television stations, apologizing and calling Nancy's death an accident. Both were reportedly linked to the same IP address, one of the only solid threads investigators have. And Porch Guy, a person tied to the case, remains unidentified. Meanwhile, the search itself keeps producing contradictions. Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos has been dodging questions about his own record, at one point telling a reporter to enjoy his hit piece. The FBI and the Sheriff's Department can't settle who's actually leading the investigation, and a retired agent says there's genuine disagreement inside the Bureau about whether certain pieces of evidence are even legitimate. Kash Patel added his own layer of confusion, telling a podcast audience his agents were locked out for days, while one of his own special agents was already standing beside Sheriff Nanos at a press conference, a fueled plane waiting in the background. Nancy Guthrie is still out there. Nobody has answered for it.

Retired agent Shawn Johnson reviews his investigation of serial bank robber Scott Scurlock, aka the Hollywood Bandit. Steven Meyers, who was Scurlock's lookout and getaway driver, also takes part in this case review. Steven Meyers and Scurlock staged takeover heists in the Seattle area during a four-year period in the 1990s. Before entering the bank, Meyers would help Scurlock disguise himself with Hollywood-quality makeup and prosthetic facial features. They robbed 19 banks. However, when surrounded by members of the Seattle Division's Puget Sound Violent Crimes Joint Task Force while attempting to escape from their last robbery, a shootout ensued and ended with Meyers and another accomplice being shot. Scurlock fled the scene. When located, he died by suicide rather than surrendering. The investigation was covered, and Shawn Johnson and Steven Meyers were featured in the Netflix docuseries, How to Rob a Bank. Shawn served in the FBI for over 28 years.
