    ep 2604 Homeless Murders Solved

    When the call comes in about a murder we all knew could come,  but not on our watch.   Homeless murders pose problems with witness identification and recollection.  John solved this one in 15 hours.

  2. 94

    ep 2603 Brown Family

    At the Jenks Youth Baseball fields I met a man that played football with John in high school.  John is well known, but the support system around John is not as much.  Listen as John's wife , Kathy and kids, Taylor and Shelby give some insight into the good human we know as John Brown.

  3. 93

    ep 26-02 Nancy Guthrie Musings

    2602 talks about the Guthrie investigation.  Experience tells law enforcement that she is not alive, but she still needs to be found.  I talk about cases that relate to how I would handle the situation.  Episodes 17 Fairmont Quad.  32 Good Friday and 2408 speak of how to get it done.

  4. 92

    ep 2601 Stick Murder

    When a murder is called in my mind we will solve it.  We don't know how but we will solve it.  This case proves that murders are complicated.

  5. 91

    ep 2503 John Brown

    2505 is when more than a coworker, friend of loved one dies and the emotions that continue.I had to force myself to speak of Detective John F Brown and attempt to do him justice.No words, just emotion. Thank you for letting me share

  6. 90

    ep2502 Know your Area

    When a part of town is very active, cops need to know who and how things are related.  Take a listen on how we Solve'em when we Get'em.

  7. 89

    ep2501 We Care Too!

    Heather Jordan and Eric Grayless of Tulsa County District Attorneys office care about putting criminals in jail and helping victim's families cope with out  of sequence deaths like Leslie Griffin.  Leadership and attitude and is key in this episode.

  8. 88

    ep 2408 Is it a Crime?

    Who is in charge of the. investigation when the investigation is not clear cut?  When a confession of intent is needed the person in charge is the criminal.   Not real comforting if you care about preventing the next one.

  9. 87

    ep 2407. What are you Doing here?

    Melanie Morgan was a cub reporter in Kansas City, Mo. when she was walking through the lobby of the Alameda Plaza Hotel.  She followed cops up the elevator to the ninth floor and saw Louise Vilott dead on the floor.  This case from 1978 has haunted Melanie and she is till on the hunt to name a killer.  The reason I used tip sheets.   Cannot tell the players without a program.

  10. 86

    ep 2406 Prepare as if you are Blind

    If the leaders can not come up with a better briefing than the Trump Rally I suggest we blindfold the leaders and describe the area of threats.  We should be better than that.  The murder case is a good one for the patrol cops.  Look outside the tape.

  11. 85

    ep 2405

    Fake drugs, even in pill form, will make people angry.  Where can we intervene?  Everywhere we must save'em early, home, school.  Before another body drops.

  12. 84

    ep 2404. Revelation before Reckoning

    The criminal that has a conscience is in prison even if it is not revealed what they did.  True evil exists but most killers will reveal themselves if law enforcement has not touched them yet.  Killers touch a lot of lives in a negative way.  The pain the killers feel is a part of the punishment.

  13. 83

    ep 2403 Save'em Where you See'em

    To save six year olds we need to show up.  Paul showed up for kids and some took advantage, but he never said no.  A new spin is Curt and how to teach people to use their finances judicially.

  14. 82

    ep 2402 Never Lose Hope

    Recovering from addiction or a special affliction is possible.  Dr. Bill wrote a book published in 1939 that is used today to help people find Hope from addiction.  This story has terrible loss and redemption in different places and times.  I leave with this keep coming back and you can see a lot when you stop.

  15. 81

    ep 2401 The System can Work!

    This episode murder case has the suspect at 15 going into the system.  He works the program and at 24 delivers my mail.   Leaders spread the rewards and shoulders the pain alone.  It all works.

  16. 80

    ep 2308 Lead Even if you Do Not Like It

    Critiques and hearing what you do not want to hear when it makes a difference is an example of a true leader.

  17. 79

    ep 2307 Dang it. LEAD!

    Leaders have to consider a lot of factors when imposing themselves in cases.  Legitimate leaders are everywhere and to lead is an art.  A twist to true crime.

  18. 78

    ep 23-06 Domestics Hurt a Lot

    Killing your domestic partner and killing your kids is a crime that affects more than family.  Think before you act.  A LOT of people would prefer to be inconvenienced for an hour than live with your selfish actions forever.

  19. 77

    ep 2305 Intervention Before

    A Look at the school system failure that causes las enforcement to focus on violent crime.  We a;; want the same thing.  We all have to communicate and critique on how to get there.

  20. 76

    ep 23-04 Hope and Pray

    I quit the school system but did not quit the work to make schools safer.   This episode will give a cops insight into the discipline issue in the public school systems.   The murder case shows that marijauna is a drug that kills and upsets the school system.  so much in the episode control the hands, investigation will lead to opportunity, intelligence based eduction is a good idea and we all want kids to learn and be safe.  

  21. 75

    ep 2303 Be True to your Brand

    Middle School kids are not much different than the adults mingling the prison system.  They deny and cheat and steal and lie to your face.  This episode talks about this and that I have recovered imitation marijuana liquid cartridge.  Sell it an you could end up dead.

  22. 74

    ep 2302. Protect and Serve no Stop and Kill!

    I am a proponent for targets Task Forces and I have ran three of them in my time that were successful and award winning.  I have also advocated for the disbanding of the Task Force due to it going off track.   Memphis specialty unit that killed Nichols was off track and needed to be better supervised.  When specific Task Forces are needed they work.  Never along term solution as a Real Crime Center.  Stay tuned!

  23. 73

    ep2301 Education and Crime

    This episode explains a bit about the solving of the Idaho 4 murders.  Baseball and how it relates to crime and healing and public schools.  Plus an inside look at how we work long hours,  sometimes 28 hours in a day to keep kids safe.

  24. 72

    ep 2207 Idaho Four

    After watching "Experts" give their opinions on the University of Idaho students killed I took a pause and said what if it happened here.   Then I said experience matters and we have had killings like this and unlike some we solved them.  Stay turned!

  25. 71

    ep 2206 Stay Sober

    When cleaning a crime scene a sober mindset is needed.  If not you will just smear blood everywhere and hide a decomposing body under the bed.  An addictive mind is no match for a TPD Homicide.

  26. 70

    ep2205 Uvalde and McGirt

    Before you hire one of the many police chiefs in this nation ask if they have ever been in an incident where their life was in jeopardy.  Uvalde is and will always be a failure.  An aside listen to the McGirt ruling that cause killers from The first 48 to get a sweet deal.

  27. 69

    ep2204 Stand Off, Stand Up or Stand Down

    Politics be damned it is time to monitor and apprehend the mass killers before the event.  Do not blame others when when its in your control.  I explain my thoughts in this podcast.

  28. 68

    ep 2203 It is a Thin Line

    "It is a Thun Line" is true in so many instances.  This line can be blurred by public propaganda,  but no matter what is placed in the line the truth is always the truth.  Research and make up your mind.

  29. 67

    ep 22-02 The Dog Pound

    Anthony Pieterzak could be alive today and three people could not be in prison if we take responsibility when we are about to do something incredibly stupid.  Intervene in a professional situation or a civilian situation and society is better.

  30. 66

    ep2201 Sign Me Up

    This episode deals with critiquing law enforcement so we can get better.  I talk about me so the listener understands my cop background.  Here is to a different 2022.  Stay Safe and Tuned.

  31. 65

    ep 2116 Leave it to the Professionals

    Comments on the recent cases and my thoughts on why we are where we are today.  The past follows us and then older heads teach not so older heads and technique is passed down.  Plus when law enforcement ask the public for help give them a way to contact us. 

  32. 64

    Derrick Jefferson

    Until government can get cameras up and a real time crime center working we still need to produce evidence with the cameras in place.  Listen to how we developed a plan off of the camera on a bus.

  33. 63

    ep 2114 Carter

    We need a why the murder occurred to get to the who.   Sometimes we can find The Who without knowing the why but when there is not reason for murder the potential for a serial murder episode grows.  Rarely do we have this but is frustrating when someone that can supply The Who runs away.

  34. 62

    ep 2113 Lovett Lens

    When there is no Why to the murder the Who can be hidden for years to come.  If The Who does not talk or brag the murder can be pushed to the back but never forgotten.  We need to look at cases unsolved through the lens if Brennen Lovett.

  35. 61

    ep 2112 Dr. Culver

    Dr. Freeman Culver the president of The Greenwood Chamber of Commerce talks about the historic district of Black Wall Street and his vision to keep the momentum moving forward.  Listen as we talk about Gentrification,  Urban Renewal or Eminent Domain and what it takes to keep the business portion of Black Wall Street up and running.

  36. 60

    ep 2111 Kode Ransom

    Kode Ransom is in the community and willing to talk about issues that are influencing life on earth.  He is a man of many talents and making a go of it on  the Greenwood District in Tulsa 2021.  The first in the series I hope to continue in July to keep the momentum of the Black Wall Street remembrance above as we move forward for a better tomorrow.

  37. 59

    ep 2110 Still she Raises the Hue and Cry

    Money, sex, drugs and vendettas can get you killed.  Two innocent lives are lost because of drugs and money.  One of these defendants should be warehoused forever based on past experience.  One took a chance and paid the price.  Talking is not snitching it is a business deal.  The third hid behind attorneys.

  38. 58

    ep 21-09 Mistaken Identity

    When people doing evil interpret what they see wrong the results can never be good.  Because there is no standard for evil the result is catastrophic for all of us.  Plus the community and police have to come together.

  39. 57

    ep 2108 Don't Eat the Dope

    The case is one where an arrested person ingests a lethal dose of cocaine and dies in police custody.  The narrative before is ...Rioting and postering does not advance the ball any.  A lot is going on in a week.  Stay tuned

  40. 56

    ep 2107 A Skull in the Woods

    A Skull in the Woods is a how Detective Ritter worked a case of a murder victim without the body being found.  Until February 2021 when Samantha Pucket's skull was located five years after she went missing.

  41. 55

    ep 2106 Tell us Spike

    A dying declaration would be too easy for Det. Ryden.  Listen as this case comes together.  Plus some extra comments on hate.

  42. 54

    ep 2105 Epperson:Tennent

    Do you have information to take a killer off the streets?  Once given information law enforcement must act or a person can end up dead.  Be responsible before it happens again.

  43. 53

    ep 2104 Erik Williams

    A straight forward case can have twists and turns some are the cops doing.  Do not ever let the answer be no when we know the right answer.

  44. 52

    ep 2103 A Seat at the Table

    Law enforcement's response is not being considered when it comes to political discussions.  When lawyers claim systematic racism is the root of all evil I disagree.  Education is a two way street.  Stay Tuned

  45. 51

    ep 2102 Murder Melody

    Money, sex, drugs and vendetta will get you killed.  Murders are rarely in a vacuum.  We need the community to communicate, a simple answer today is to phone us or email us.  Agencies need to have a mechanism in place to communicate.  Leads to Intelligence based policing.

  46. 50

    ep 2101 Commentary on DC

    This criminal action in DC has to stop.  History will not be kind to this date in history.

  47. 49

    ep 50 Stir Something Up

    Stir something up is what investigators have to do when the killers are close to the crime scene.  An example of how kids trying to boost a car can have life altering consequences.

  48. 48

    ep 49 Doing Wrong can be Fatal

    Sometimes the victims of murders are respectful and likeable.  But they are in the underworld where evil lurks.  Valon Broadus was one of those victims.

  49. 47

    ep 48 Editorial

    Community and Cops have to have a meaningful understanding about their respective positions.  If not we are doomed.

  50. 46

    ep 47 In Memory of Nate's Dream

    This episode shows why we have to move fast to solve them before the shooter/killer can disappear.  Also in 2016 the public shows the contempt for law enforcement and a brief look at stuff we carry to assist us when we chase killers.
