    Get To Know Real Police, The Homicide Hunter
    May 11 2025
    Get To Know Real Police, The Homicide Hunter. Special Episode. For fans of true crime, few names are as synonymous with justice as Joe Kenda. Known to millions as “The Homicide Hunter”, Kenda is a retired police detective lieutenant who solved 356 of the 387 homicide cases he worked during a 23-year career with the Colorado Springs Police Department, a staggering 92% closure rate. But for Kenda, the numbers are only part of the story. In an interview on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, he opened up about the emotional toll of hunting killers, his unexpected rise to television fame, and his compelling book, Killer Triggers. “If you kill someone in my city, I will find you,” Kenda once declared, a phrase that became the chilling mantra behind his Investigation Discovery (ID Channel) hit series Homicide Hunter. The show, which ran for nine seasons, became a staple in the world of true crime television, captivating viewers with its gripping real-life investigations and Kenda’s unmistakably calm, resolute narration. The TV series Homicide Hunter offered more than just entertainment, it provided a window into the psyche of a seasoned detective who never lost sight of the human cost of murder. “I don’t want to tell these stories. I need to,” Kenda said, reflecting on the unresolved trauma from his years on the force. As he reopened his “Murder Books”, the folders containing all the details of the cases he solved, he also reopened long-suppressed memories, and in doing so, offered audiences a rare, raw look at what it really means to live in the mind of a homicide detective. Get To Know Real Police, The Homicide Hunter. His book, Killer Triggers, goes even deeper. “This book offers my memories of homicide cases that I investigated or oversaw,” Kenda explains. Each chapter explores the psychological trigger behind a killing, whether rage, fear, revenge, money, lust, or sheer madness. “I chose this theme because even though the ‘why’ of a murder case isn’t always essential to solving it, it can sometimes lead us straight to the killer.” He adds that even after solving a case, the question of motive lingers. “The why still intrigues us, it disrupts our dreams, maybe because we all fear the demons that lie within our own psyche.” Born in Herminie, Pennsylvania, Kenda's journey into law enforcement began in an unlikely place: the Pittsburgh Zoo. A childhood encounter there sparked an early fascination with criminal behavior. After earning a degree in political science from the University of Pittsburgh and a master's in international relations from Ohio State University, Kenda considered a career in intelligence before ultimately joining the Colorado Springs Police Department in 1973. Kenda rose through the ranks quickly. By 1977, he was a detective solving cases other officers had deemed unsolvable. His instincts, sharp eye for human behavior, and relentless pursuit of the truth earned him a reputation that eventually led to a new chapter, one in front of the camera. Get To Know Real Police, The Homicide Hunter. His unexpected entrance into the world of television came long after his retirement. “I never thought I’d be on TV,” he admits. But after being approached by producers, Kenda agreed to share his stories, and Homicide Hunter was born. Now, in addition to that flagship show, he also hosts American Detective with Lt. Joe Kenda on Discovery+, continuing to bring real police work to television audiences across the globe. Off-screen, connect with him through our social media including Facebook, Instagram, X (formerly Twitter), and LinkedIn, and during the interview on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast. You can listen to his stories and interview on our website for free in addition to platforms like Apple Podcasts and Spotify, and other major podcast platforms. Despite the fame, Kenda remains deeply grounded. He speaks openly about the impact his career had on his family, especially his wife, Mary Kathleen Mohler, whom he married in 1967. “You can’t see what I’ve seen and not come away changed,” he says. “But I tried to leave it at the door. Not always successfully.” With decades of cases behind him, a bestselling book in stores, a loyal following across TV and podcasts, and a reputation as one of the most effective detectives in modern law enforcement history, Joe Kenda has become much more than just a name on a screen. He’s a storyteller, a protector, and perhaps most importantly, a reminder that justice, though often elusive, is always worth pursuing. Get To Know Real Police, The Homicide Hunter.

  • Murder and The Police Investigation that led to an unexpected

    Murder and The Police Investigation that led to an unexpected
    May 7 2025
    Murder and The Police Investigation that led to an unexpected criminal. In a gripping true crime story that stunned the community of Novato, California, retired Police Chief Brian Brady recalls the murder investigation that revealed an unexpected criminal hiding in plain sight. The 13-year-old victim, Jennifer Moore, was kidnapped, raped and murdered in a case that would ultimately lead to one of the most shocking confessions in the San Francisco California Bay Area history. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify and most major podcast platforms. Brady, a retired police officer with 35 years of service across four departments in two states, including the Berkeley Police Department and the Novato Police Department, led the investigation during his tenure as Police Chief in Novato. Follow the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Medium and most all social media platforms. “It started with a missing persons call,” Brady explained. “A 13-year-old girl went missing after an argument with her mother. From the beginning, something about it didn’t sit right.” The investigation quickly escalated when Jennifer’s body was discovered four days later, nude and discarded in a grassy field just two miles from her home. The police were initially misled by eyewitness reports involving a city bus. But a key piece of evidence, a garbage bag filled with discarded religious booklets, led them back to a local Baptist church. Murder and The Police Investigation that led to an unexpected criminal.

Listen to the interview with him as a Free Podcast on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast. Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast platforms. The man behind the horrific crime was a 29-year-old Sunday school teacher, deacon, youth group worker, and volunteer groundskeeper at the church. He was also a manager at a local self-service gas station and minimart.

I bludgeoned her,” he told Novato detectives in a taped confession, as reported by the San Francisco Chronicle. The admission stunned even veteran officers. According to detectives, the suspect revealed disturbing details about the April 13 killing that had not been made public, proof that his confession was genuine. Evidence recovered at the church reading room included a bloodstain unsuccessfully concealed with coffee, and the girl's bomber jacket, discarded in a nearby trash bin. A police bloodhound had originally led officers to the church, but early focus on misleading witness descriptions delayed the discovery of the real killer. In the end, it was the murderer’s leaving behind identifiable religious material in the garbage bag used to dispose of the body, that brought the case to light. Murder and The Police Investigation that led to an unexpected criminal. The interview is available as a free podcast on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and podcast website, also available on platforms like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and most major podcast outlets. While more than 1,000 people gathered at a local park to mourn the young girl, police quietly searched the home the killer shared with his wife. “This was a murder that rocked the entire town to its core,” Brady said. “No one expected it to be someone they saw every Sunday, someone they trusted with their children.” The story of Jennifer Moore’s murder and the painstaking investigation that brought her killer to justice is the basis for a book by Brian Brady. His real-life law enforcement experiences continue to inspire his fiction writing, including his most recent crime novel, Greed. Brady, born and raised in San Francisco, has built a post-retirement career as a crime novelist. His three novels "Oh, What a Tangled Web", "Hiding in Plain Sight", and "Greed", weave together the complexities of criminal behavior with the procedural knowledge gained from decades on the job. Murder and The Police Investigation that led to an unexpected criminal. “With this being my third book, I feel that I’m really hitting my stride as an author,” Brady said. “My newest story spans New York, Amsterdam, and Paris, but the Bay Area remains the heart of everything I write.” Brady’s career path took him from Berkeley’s diverse streets to Farmington, New Mexico, and back to the Bay Area, where he also served in executive roles with organizations like NBC Universal and the San ...

  • Her Police Husband Was Shot, The Impact.

    Her Police Husband Was Shot, The Impact.
    May 4 2025
    Her Police Husband Was Shot, The Impact on her. Special Episode. When Kelli Hill-Lowe received the call that her police officer husband had been shot, she was thrown into a nightmare. There were no immediate answers. Was he dead? Was he alive? Was his condition life-threatening? All she knew was that the man she loved had been ambushed in a premeditated act of violence while doing what he had always done, serve and protect. Follow the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Medium and most all social media platforms Sergeant Charles Lowe, a longtime member of the St. Louis Police Department, was working a secondary job as a security officer in the city’s Central West End when he was attacked. While sitting in his civilian vehicle, a group approached. One man leapt out and opened fire. Lowe, protected by a bulletproof vest, survived the shooting. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify and most major podcast platforms. “He was shot at close range,” Kelli recalled. “It was an ambush. They wanted him dead.” The 2015 shooting sent shockwaves through both the law enforcement and local communities. It wasn’t until February 2024 that full legal closure came. A jury found the attacker guilty on four counts including assault and armed criminal action. He was sentenced to 25 years in prison. Another individual was sentenced to 30 years. After the verdict, Charles Lowe expressed his relief: “I feel like some stress has been lifted off my shoulders. Emotionally it was kind of a roller coaster. But today feels good to have some closure.” Her Police Husband Was Shot, The Impact. Listen to the interview with him as a Free Podcast on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast. Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast platforms. Reflecting on the night of the shooting, Charles shared how instinct and faith played a role in his survival. “There was nothing particular about them,” he said of the group. “But the hairs on my neck stood up. And at that point, there was a voice that told me grab my vest. I know it was God.” The impact of the shooting was not only physical but deeply emotional for the Lowe family. As Kelli watched her husband begin his long journey of recovery, she found herself wrestling with fear, uncertainty, and the painful realization that their life had changed forever. But instead of allowing trauma to define her, Kelli found a purpose. Today, she serves as President of the National Police Wives Association (NPWA), a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing support, resources, and outreach to law enforcement spouses across the country. The group has grown its national presence, using social platforms like Facebook, Instagram, X, and LinkedIn to connect families and spread awareness. Look for supporting stories about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium, Blogspot and Linkedin. “After the shooting, I kept thinking, there have to be others like me, spouses who feel helpless, who need help navigating this life,” Kelli said. “That’s what motivated me to step into this role with NPWA. We’re here to help.” Her Police Husband Was Shot, The Impact. The NPWA isn't just a support network, it’s a movement. The group focuses on mentoring new law enforcement spouses, encouraging volunteerism, and promoting mental wellness for officers and their families. In one of its signature initiatives, NPWA organized a national suicide awareness campaign, planting 55 purple flags, one for each state and five for U.S. territories. The display not only honored fallen officers but also brought attention to mental health resources available nationwide. “We want every spouse and every department to know, there is support. There is hope. And together, we can make a difference,” Kelli explained. To expand the conversation, Kelli and Charles have also shared their story on news outlets and podcasts, including the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast streaming for free on their website plus platforms like Apple Podcasts, Spotify and other platforms too. Through these appearances, they hope to reach both law enforcement families and the general public, using their voices to bring light to the unseen struggles behind the badge.

Instead, it gave us a new mission.” Her husband was shot, but her resolve became stronger.
