Melissa Roxburgh, Frank Fiore, Jennifer Clark, Scott Cline, and Kevin Laws on The Neil Haley Show

This action-packed episode of The Neil Haley Show features an incredible lineup of guests sharing their diverse stories and expertise. Actress Melissa Roxburgh kicks off the show discussing season two of her thrilling series, where she plays a character hunting serial killers in a world where captured killers are secretly imprisoned rather than executed. She shares insights about the show's balance of gore and personal drama, her chemistry with the cast, and the creative criminology that goes into developing each unique killer. Melissa also reflects on transitioning from her long run on Manifest to this new project and the criminology courses that fuel her fascination with understanding the minds of killers.Author Frank Fiore joins to discuss his latest Western novels, including the unique "Kit Carson in Africa" series that reimagines the legendary cowboy training Maasai warriors to corral wildebeests as an alternative to a cattle baron's monopoly. Frank also introduces his character Jack Cord, inspired by director John Ford, who films a Western in Africa, and "The Haunting Party," a gripping tale combining elements of The Revenant and The Grey where a buffalo hunter leads a dangerous expedition to track a mythical elk called Caesar while being stalked by both a vengeful grizzly bear and hostile Native Americans.Jennifer Clark celebrates her true crime memoir "Becoming Fire: Chasing the Passion to Protect, Serve and Love" hitting number two on Amazon's new releases list. She welcomes former detective Scott Cline, whom she hadn't seen in 36 years, to discuss their undercover operations together in 1989. Scott protected Jennifer during dangerous drug buys while managing surveillance equipment, experiences that led him to pioneer video surveillance technology for law enforcement operations that would eventually revolutionize how evidence was captured nationwide.Scott Cline shares his remarkable entrepreneurial journey from detective to founder of First Witness, one of the largest video surveillance equipment manufacturers for law enforcement in the United States. His innovation began with a homemade system cobbled together for under $200 that produced such compelling video evidence, 254 out of 255 cases resulted in convictions without trial. Scott's company went on to supply equipment to over a thousand agencies across three countries, including the technology behind the famous "nanny cams" featured on national news programs.The episode concludes with retired Homeland Security Investigations Special Agent Kevin Laws discussing his harrowing 11-year career working undercover online, posing as both a child and an adult predator to catch criminals targeting children. Kevin opens up about the severe toll this work took on his mental health, the loss of his wife during his final year, and why he wrote his graphically honest book "Hunter of the Damned: A Walk Through Hell." With 66 convictions to his credit, Kevin explains why his book pulls no punches in depicting the reality of crimes against children and why, despite having plenty of material, his PTSD means this will be his only book—because no amount of money is worth sacrificing his mental health.
