Brett Forrest, The Lost Son: An American Family Trapped Inside the FBI's Secret Wars. The final segment of Forrest's account explores the dark possibilities of Billy's fate and the FBI's high-level awareness of the case. While some contacts suggested Billy might have simply disappeared into Russia or traveled to the Far East, Anastasia Mikhailovska offers a much bleaker theory: that Billy was taken into custody, tortured for information, and his body disposed of in a lake in one of the breakaway republics of Eastern Ukraine. This blunt assessment stands in contrast to more optimistic theories but aligns with the brutal reality of the Donbas conflict. Back in Washington, Forrest attends a retirement party at the Department of Justice, where he encounters Paul Abate. At the time Billy went to Russia, Abate was the Special Agent in Charge of the Detroit field office—the man who would have overseen Billy's handlers and the investigation into his disappearance. By 2018, Abate had risen to become the third-highest-ranking official in the entire FBI. When Forrest approaches him, Abate reveals that he already knows who Forrest is and is intimately familiar with the Riley case, despite no stories having been published yet. This high-level recognition suggests that the "secret wars" the Rileys felt trapped inside were well-known and carefully monitored at the top of the American intelligence apparatus. (4)1867 MOSCOW

What's up fraud fighters, and welcome back to Fraud Forward!In this episode, I'm sitting down with Mudassar Malik, Special Agent with the U.S. Secret Service and Founder and CEO of Deconflict.com, to talk about something our industry needs to get a whole lot better at: financial crime deconflict.Money mule networks do not care where one institution's visibility ends and another one begins. Pig butchering scams, romance scams, business email compromise, BEC fraud, account takeover, wire fraud, they all move across people, accounts, institutions, platforms, and jurisdictions. Meanwhile, too many of us are still trying to solve pieces of the same case from opposite sides of the wall.Mudassar walks us through what happens when law enforcement and banking actually have a better way to connect investigative intelligence, share what they are seeing, and recognize when different teams may be looking at the same financial crime pattern from different angles.This episode is not about sharing everything with everybody. It is about better fraud response, better financial crime intelligence, and better collaboration between the people who are already fighting the same criminal networks. Because if a credit union, a community bank, a larger institution, and law enforcement are all seeing pieces of the same mule activity, but nobody can connect those pieces fast enough, the criminals keep moving. And the victims keep paying for it. What you'll hear in this episode: Why financial crime deconflict matters for banks, credit unions, fintechs, and law enforcementHow the Deconflict platform helps connect investigative intelligence across financial crime casesWhy money mule networks, pig butchering scams, romance scams, and BEC fraud require cross-institutional visibilityWhere 314(b)d information sharing fits into the larger fraud response conversationWhy financial institution fraud prevention cannot stop at the edge of one institution's dataHow law enforcement data sharing can help fraud fighters move from isolated cases to connected intelligenceWhat teams can take back to think differently about collaboration and case escalation You should listen to this episode if you:Work in fraud, BSA, AML, investigations, or financial crime intelligence at a bank or credit unionAre trying to improve financial institution fraud prevention without adding more disconnected alertsSupport fraud response for scams, mule activity, business email compromise, or suspicious account movementWant a better way to think about law enforcement data sharing and investigative collaboration

Send us Fan Mail From accountant to FBI Special Agent, FBI SWAT sniper, and bomb Tech. My guest on today's show, Barry Black, has been involved in investigating multi-million dollar crimes, from being a SWAT sniper at the Waco standoff, a bomb tech at the Oklahoma bombing, and 9/11. My guest on the show today is FBI Special Agent, ret. Barry Black. Part two airs next Sunday.Let's get to know Barry. Barry joined the FBI in 1988 and was assigned to the Oklahoma City Division, where he primarily investigated complex financial crimes. Mr. Black served as an FBI SWAT sniper for several years, including a 51-day deployment to the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas, in 1993. The following year, Mr. Black was certified as a Bomb Technician at the FBI's Hazardous Devices School. In 1995, he was a first responder to the bombing of Oklahoma City's Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building and remained a member of the OKBOMB Task Force. As the threat of terrorism grew, Mr. Black was assigned to the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force, where he worked with international partners in the global war on terror and trained highly specialized military and counterterrorism units in hostile regions around the world. Domestically, Mr. Black responded to the 1996 Atlanta Olympic bombing, the 9/11 World Trade Center attacks, the 2005 bombing at the University of Oklahoma, the bombing of a U.S. Air Force recruiting station, and in a complex undercover operation, helped thwart a 2017 truck bomb attack targeting a major financial center in Oklahoma City. After retiring from the FBI, Mr. Black became an adjunct faculty member at the University of Central Oklahoma's Forensic Science Institute. He has served as a consultant, keynote speaker, and provided commentary for various national and international media outlets and documentaries. In 2026, his book, Hazardous Devices: Memoir of an FBI Bomb Technician, Accountant, and Sniper, was published by McFarland & Company.  Please enjoy this fascinating discussion with an FBI agent who has had a law enforcement career that they make movies and books about.  In today's episode, we discuss:·      What influenced Barry into becoming an FBI agent? The influence of his little league coach being an FBI agent. ·      The FBI only wanting accounts and lawyers as members.·      Being fast-tracked as an FBI agent because he had an accounting degree.·      Accountant to sniper/bomb tech.·      Being the youngest member of his academy class.·      What drew him into SWAT and being a sniper?·      Waco. February 28–April 19, 1993. At what stage of the standoff did he get called in?·      David Koresh was a cult leader. How do you reason with this guy?·      Huge tactical disadvantage with the geography. Using Bradley armored vehicles from Fort Hood as moving cover and concealment.·      What comes to his mind when he hears this from Wikipedia? “After 51 days, on April 19, 1993, the FBI launched a CS gas (tear gas) attack in an attempt to force the Branch Davidians out of the compound's buildings. Shortly thereafter, the Mount Carmel Center became engulfed in flames. The fire and the reaction to the final attack within the group resulted in the deaths of 76 Branch Davidians, including 20–28 children and Koresh.”·      How much of the decision-making at Waco was boots on the ground compared to Washington DC calling the shots?·      Was there a clear chain of command and IC in Waco? All of this and more on today's episode of the Cops and Writers podcast.Please visit Barry's website to learn more about him and his career.Head on over to my website! What's the craziest thing you saw when you were a cop?My first week on the job, a guy running at me with a butcher knife.

After 21 years in the United States Air Force, Derrick Jackson knows what it means to serve, sacrifice, and carry the emotional weight that comes with military life.

Maybe it is guilt. Maybe it is stress from your work. Maybe it is a memory you have tried to push down. Maybe it is a weight you convinced yourself you had to carry alone. Find one safe way to let some of it out. Talk to someone you trust. Write it down. Pray about it. Sit with yourself and admit what is really going on. Because as Derrick shared, healing does not happen by burying the weight. It begins when you are willing to recognize it, give it language, and take one step toward support.

Cybersecurity is not just an IT issue. It is now a core business discipline. In this episode of 10 Minute Tech Talks, Jonathan Kersting talks with Richard Evanchec, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Pittsburgh Field Office, following his keynote at Cyburgh 2026. Evanchec shares practical guidance for business and technology leaders on how to strengthen cyber defenses before an incident occurs. The conversation highlights the FBI's Winter Shield initiative and its focus on basic but critical cybersecurity practices: eliminating default passwords, applying software patches, using phishing-resistant authentication, maintaining offline backups and testing recovery plans. Evanchec also explains why companies need to think differently about cybersecurity spending. Rather than treating it as a late-stage investment or overhead expense, he says cyber readiness must become part of everyday business decision-making. The conversation also explores how AI is changing the threat landscape. From deepfakes that trick employees to tools that help criminals analyze stolen data for leverage, AI is making attacks more efficient. But Evanchec also notes that defenders and law enforcement are using AI to respond, investigate and bring bad actors to justice. Produced by the Pittsburgh Technology Council, this is a podcast for tech and manufacturing  entrepreneurs exploring the tech ecosystem, from cyber security and AI to SaaS, robotics, and life sciences, featuring insights to satisfy the tech curious.

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. #Free #Podcast #Radio David Putnam is our guest. He is a retired Deputy and an author of many books. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. Early in his journey as a Southern California police cadet, Putnam faced a deeply personal tragedy that would leave lasting emotional scars and shape the man he would become. His family was shattered when his aunt, who had been involved in heroin trafficking, orchestrated the murder-for-hire of his own uncle through a contract killer. It was a shocking crime that exposed Putnam to the darkest sides of both family dysfunction and criminal behavior before his police career had even fully begun. That traumatic chapter would become one of many defining moments in a life marked by violence, service, and resilience. Supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin. David Putnam's story, shared through the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast interview on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other Podcast platforms, is one that combines personal tragedy, extraordinary law enforcement service, and literary success. His journey from the streets of Southern California to the islands of Hawaii reveals a remarkable career as both a Cop and later an award-winning author whose books draw heavily from his real-life experiences. Murder for Hire During His Police Career In California. As a young cadet in California, Putnam was forced to grapple with the bizarre and devastating reality that murder had struck within his own family. The contract killing of his uncle was not just another crime, it was deeply personal. “When violence enters your own family, it changes the way you look at everything,” Putnam reflects. The murder-for-hire case revealed the devastating intersection of addiction, greed, and betrayal, leaving emotional wounds that would influence his perspective on justice and policing for decades to come. Today, his story is inspiring audiences through the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Apple, Spotify, iHeartradio and and many Podcast platforms. Despite that early trauma, Putnam pressed forward into law enforcement, building a highly respected career that spanned some of the most dangerous and specialized assignments in policing. Working primarily in Southern California, Putnam served in Patrol, Investigations, SWAT, Narcotics, Violent Crimes, Criminal Intelligence, Internal Affairs, and Detective Bureau operations. His experience on both street-level and major narcotics teams exposed him to the brutal realities of organized crime, drug trafficking, and violent offenders. Through these assignments, Putnam became known not only for his tactical expertise but for his unwavering dedication to public safety. The episode is available across major platforms including their website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, with highlights shared across their Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn profiles. “Policing in California taught me that crime is rarely simple,” Putnam explains. “Behind every major case is a web of human pain, poor choices, and consequences.” His diverse career placed him at the center of some of the most challenging and dangerous criminal investigations imaginable, sharpening his instincts and deepening his understanding of criminal behavior. Murder for Hire During His Police Career In California. Available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and most major Podcast networks. Later, Putnam expanded his law enforcement career to Hawaii, where he served as a Special Agent on a real-life “Hawaii 5-0” team. Unlike the fictional television portrayal, Putnam's Hawaiian assignment involved real criminal investigations, intelligence work, and high-stakes operations in one of the nation's most unique law enforcement environments. “Hawaii brought its own challenges,” he says. “It may look like paradise, but crime and danger don't disappear because of beautiful scenery.” His work in Hawaii rounded out an already extraordinary career that few officers could match. After retiring from active duty, Putnam transformed his decades of law enforcement experience into a new mission, writing. Today, he is a best-selling and award-winning novelist, known for series such as Bruno Johnson, Dave Beckett, Bone Detective, and Misadventures of Imogene Taylor. His books are deeply influenced by the realities of crime, trauma, and justice he experienced firsthand. Through his writing, Putnam continues to explore the psychological complexities of criminals, investigators, and the toll violence takes on everyone it touches. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. “Writing became another form of service,” Putnam explains. “It allows me to tell authentic stories about crime, survival, and humanity.” His novels resonate because they are grounded in real experiences rather than fictionalized stereotypes. Readers are drawn not only to his gripping plots but to the emotional depth that comes from a lifetime spent confronting real violence. Murder for Hire During His Police Career In California. Now living in California with his wife, their dogs, and an organic avocado farm, Putnam has built a quieter life far removed from the dangers of SWAT raids and violent crime scenes. Yet his past continues to inform both his storytelling and his perspective on perseverance. His life serves as a powerful example of how trauma, whether from family betrayal or a demanding police career, can be transformed into purpose.

The American political and legal systems are facing a crisis of legitimacy as high-level "glitches" and ideological captures move from theory to documented reality. This episode dives into the recent chaos in Virginia, where 64,000 votes shifted in a mere five-minute window, fundamentally altering the state's redistricting landscape. Joe breaks down the "scripted" nature of these flips, arguing that the system is no longer broken, but rather functioning exactly as intended. To disenfranchise the American voter through linguistic manipulation and "Uniparty" complicity that leaves election safeguards like Voter ID and the elimination of mail-in ballots gathering dust.The investigation into institutional decay moves from the ballot box to the hospital bedside with special guest Bruce Sackman. As the former Special Agent in Charge for the VA's Office of Inspector General, Sackman has spent 32 years hunting "Medical Serial Killers"—doctors and nurses who exploit the trust of the healthcare system to murder the very veterans they are sworn to protect. Sackman exposes the "Murder Curtain," a chilling intersection of institutional incompetence and fear of liability that allows predators to operate undetected. His insights provide a harrowing parallel to the broader theme of systemic betrayal, questioning whether the rising public distrust in our government and healthcare systems is actually the only rational response to a culture that prioritizes liability over lives.Finally, we peel back the layers of a massive federal indictment against the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), an organization now accused of the very fraud and money laundering it claimed to fight. With allegations that the SPLC secretly funneled millions to informants within extremist groups—effectively "manufacturing" the narratives of white supremacy and racial division for decades—the show examines the devastating impact of this ideological warfare. From the "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville to the Biden FBI's targeting of traditional Catholics, we explore how these state-sanctioned narratives have been used to scapegoat and indoctrinate, leaving a trail of division that stretches from the halls of Congress to the local city council.

Kyle Matthews interviews Brad Beeler, a retired U.S. Secret Service special agent and prolific criminal polygraph examiner who served on President George H.W. Bush's protection detail and was named Special Agent of the Year for work combating crimes against children. Beeler discusses polygraph accuracy and how it works, emphasizing preparation, baselining, and that people “beat the examiner” rather than the instrument. He shares practical deception-detection and communication tactics (yes/no questions, delays, qualifiers, overreactions, body-language mismatches, and reading feet) and warns about confirmation bias and false confessions. Beeler recounts cases including a “king of counterfeit” investigation, Olympic protection in Beijing, polygraph work, and a transformative homicide confession, and explains his book “Tell Me Everything” as a communication blueprint for trust and truth.00:00 Truth Odds Explained00:38 Meet Brad Beeler01:34 Polygraph Dad Story02:54 Car Sales Tactics05:25 Everyday Lie Tells05:45 Yes No Questions12:56 Polygraph Book Origins16:38 Why Secret Service17:38 Hiring Marathon19:08 How Polygraphs Work23:18 Beating The Polygraph26:31 Counterfeit King Case34:01 Beijing Olympics Detail37:24 Crimes Against Children40:55 Online Grooming Risks41:53 Extortion And Cyber Tips42:39 Triple Homicide Breakthrough44:36 Respectful Interrogation Tactics45:48 False Confessions Risks47:15 Confirmation Bias Lessons 53:05 Why People Commit Crimes57:06 Facing True Evil Cases01:01:58 Secret Service Career Phases01:02:53 Sniper Threat Investigation 01:08:00 Presidents And World Travel01:11:23 Protection Risks And Complacency01:12:49 Reading People And Body Language01:16:56 Honeybee Confession Story01:20:47 Closing Thoughts And Where To Follow
