    What starts as a carjacking by three suspects escalates into a tense hostage situation inside a fast food restaurant. On his very first call as a police negotiator, Lieutenant Ryan works to pull off a high-stakes hostage rescue, making sure every employee trapped inside gets out safely while dealing with an unexpected and frustrating distraction.

    Lieutenant Ryan has worked in law enforcement for nearly 15 years. He started his career as a patrol deputy and later moved into investigations as a detective, working in a unit that handled Crimes Against Children, including complex and sensitive cases involving abuse and exploitation.

    After promoting through the ranks, Ryan has served in leadership roles in patrol services, special investigations, and spent several years in the Training Division, where he helped build his agency’s training academy and shape the next generation of officers. He also served for six years on his agency’s Crisis Negotiations Team, eventually becoming the team leader.

    Ryan comes from a law enforcement family—his father and uncle both wore the badge before him, with his father serving over 40 years in law enforcement. He’s currently a shift commander on patrol and continues to oversee the field training program in his district.

    Disturbing photos of an employee’s young family member are found stored on his work computer, launching a police investigation led by Detective Carrie. As the case unfolds, she uncovers a startling pattern of predatory behavior and repeated crimes against minors. One of his victims, once young and powerless, has grown up and is ready to fight back. Together she and Carrie work to bring this real crime story to a close and ensure justice is finally served.

    Detective Carrie's law enforcement career has spanned over 21 years, with the last seven as a Detective. Most of her career was spent on patrol on the midnight shift, including some time in the street crimes unit. Now, she is part of the Special Victims Unit, where she investigates cases of child abuse and sexual abuse. Detective Carrie says she finds her current assignment both challenging and deeply meaningful.

I’m a Private Investigator and I’ve been looking for a podcast that takes a deep dive into specific cases for educational purposes. This podcast has definitely been that for me and has helped me be a more thorough, more insightful investigator. I love hearing everyone’s stories, thoughts and opinions. I don’t know what I’m going to do though; I listen so often that I’m almost caught up on all these episodes. Might have to cycle back through and listen again. I may even pick up on information I missed the first time. Great job everyone!

Informative for citizens, law enforcement and other investigative roles
