Angie Dodge suffered a terrible fate in the hands of her killer. As one of the cold cases of the 20th century, the investigation led to a false accusation. The wrongly identified culprit unfortunately spent 20 years in prison before the authorities finally traced the real perpetrator. Because of an intense DNA matching technology and the convict’s confession, the case was finally solved. 

In the second part of the two-episode interview with Tom Myers, discussions about the importance of interviews and interrogations were brought up. In a world where crimes continue to plague people, it’s up to the authorities to be extra vigilant and discerning when it comes to their investigation. Liars can hide really well but authorities should know how to identify them. 

Technology paves the way for accuracy. Equipment that analyze genetics can trace the culprit. Skills of probing are also integral in identifying the suspect. 

“You can’t expect to be in a bad situation and come out of that okay. You wouldn’t be swimming with sharks that are really hungry.” - Tom Myers

Three Takeaways

1. Be prepared in interviewing people involved in a crime. 
2. Database systems help narrow down the culprits of crimes. 
3. Technology continues to innovate and helps resolve investigations.

Two innocent girls were kidnapped at a mall and were never found. It was the ‘70s, back when serial killers could easily leave their tracks unseen and their traces undiscovered. Years later, investigation led to a culprit - a dangerous suspect who murdered the girls and burned their remains in his home. 

Such cases in the previous century required a lot of time and effort to arrive at a conclusion. With the advent of modern technology and techniques for investigations, similar cases could easily be resolved. Tom Myers believes that a database is just as important as tracing evidence and history. 

As a former FBI ERT leader, Tom has had an extensive background in law enforcement. He has been a CSI extraordinaire and a ranger. With his experience in the US army, he has witnessed what it means to protect and serve the country. 

Tom is impressed with the innovative tools and equipment used to conclude an investigation. In this episode, he shares his insights on the best practices conducted by detectives to trace the culprit of a crime and efficiently solve a case. A database system, for example, tracks the person’s history so it would be accurate to piece the puzzle together.

The world is changing. With the innovation of technology comes a shift in generational values and insights. That’s what Doug Young and Jared Bradley observed in their experience and encounters as law enforcers. 

In the second part of their two-episode interview, Doug and Jared talk about the painful memories that leave a mark on law enforcers’ mental health. Gory scenes of mutilated victims, some as young as infants, are images that result in trauma, especially for the people who study such cases or have seen the aftermath of the crime first-hand. 

The law enforcers’ well-being is a topic that is rarely talked about, especially in the justice system. Many rely on law enforcers to uphold justice, but at the end of the day, they are also human beings just like the people they are sworn to protect. 

While modern technology provides an efficient and strategic way to conduct investigation, collect evidence, and reach accurate conclusions, the grueling process poses challenges that take time to overcome. 

With generational changes, it’s about time to acknowledge that law enforcement qualifies the bravest and compassionate individuals who are dedicated to keeping communities safe.

A mangled, lifeless body lies on the field, dressed in tattered clothing. Upon its discovery, the dress serves as a potential clue to trace the perpetrator. In a community where crimes like this happen and cold cases go unsolved for years, how far can law enforcers go to carry out justice and ensure safety and security?

Jared Bradley speaks with Doug Young, a crime scene investigator at Thornton Police Department in Colorado. With nearly 30 decades of experience in law enforcement, Doug finds value in forensic science essential in conducting investigations that will result in accurate findings. This is the first part of their two-episode interview.

Innovations in forensic technology helps simplify the complicated process. With the use of the M-Vac, Doug and his team of forensic experts found the culprit - a man who lived with the victim. The wonders of new forensic technology help push progress and simplify complicated investigations. With the right equipment and a dedicated team, law enforcers can bring swift justice to the victims and their families, and regulate a safe and secure community.

Congressman Burgess Owens grew up in a modest household in Tallahassee, Florida. His father was a WWII Veteran, taught him to respect his elders, himself, his family, those in authority like law enforcement, and to love and respect God and how much He has blessed our country. 

Sadly, there are people here, and some in positions of extraordinary power, that either never learned those lessons or have forgotten them along the way. 

Congressman Owens is working hard to not only represent Utah as a man of honor, but also help others who share those values around the country to also get elected to Congress so we can return our great nation to one that respects and upholds the rule of law and we once again value each other and marvel in our diversity rather than allow ourselves to be divided by it. 

Please comment below on your thoughts on our discussion, and please share!

The US Border Czar, aka VP Kamala Harris, has STILL never visited the US Southern Border to see the massive human suffering that is going on there. 

But there are elected officials that do care. Congressmen Owens and Tiffany, along with a number of others from the US Congress, have traveled to the border several times, talked to ICE and Border Patrol Agents, and are trying to raise the alarms as to what is going on there. 

They've also made a trip to Panama to see the Darien Gap and how thousands of migrants make the trek through the most dangerous and deadly stretch of jungle in the world. 

This episode goes into detail as to how that trip came about, the adventures we experienced while in Panama, and most importantly the modern day "Trail of Tears" we witnessed while there.

Congressman Burgess Owens has always been an overachiever and a star. 

From growing up in the deep south in the days of Jim Crow to where he is today, Burgess has always given it his all. 

In his youth he was taught by his WWII Veteran father how to not only survive but to excel despite adversity. 

He was one of the first African American athletes to play football at the University of Miami. He also earned his degree in biology and chemistry. 

Burgess played 10 years in the NFL, winning a Superbowl in 1980 with the Oakland Raiders. 

His post-NFL career has been filled with ups and downs, but he never let the thought of future success escape him, and in 2020 he was elected as a US Congressman for the 4th District in Utah. 

In Congress, one of Congressman Owens' key issues is border security and stemming the tide of illegal immigration. He has visited our own Southern Border, and helped to bring awareness of the human tragedy there as well as the massive amounts of drugs that are coming across our border. 

That's where we come in. 

All Things Crime host Jared Bradley was able to travel to Panama with Burgess to see for ourselves where many of the migrants who cross the US border started their journey. This episode gives the context of how we all connected to make that trip!

December 15th, 1995 was a typical winter night in Utah. Cold. In fact, bitter cold, especially in the resort town of Midway which is nestled in the middle of the Wasatch Mountain Range. 

But that night a young 17 yr old girl, Krystal Beslanowitch, was scared enough to jump out of a vehicle where she and a man were having sex, and run hundreds of meters to escape him. She was wearing nothing but a pair of socks. 

Sadly, the man caught up to her and brutally beat her to death with several river rocks, then left her bloody body laying unceremoniously by the banks of the Provo River. 

A farmer and his son found the body the next morning. 911 was called and the responding deputy, Todd Bonner, began the investigation that would span 18 years. 

Deputy Bonner eventually became Sheriff Bonner, and despite a change in responsibilities he never forgot Krystal, nor did he ever give up. Eventually technologies were developed that enabled the investigators to not only identify those that were the last to be with Krystal, but also the man who gripped the rocks that ended her life. 

In this episode we take to you the crime scene, hear from Sheriff Bonner and ADA McKay King - who helped prosecute the murderer Joseph Simpson - and give you a first hand accounting of the crime.

Anyone who is in a criminal investigation profession, whether it's as a detective, crime scene investigator, forensic scientist, supplier or any other capacity, knows how difficult obtaining solid evidence can be. 

Of all the types of evidence, the gold standard is forensic DNA. 

Many prosecutors won't go to trial without a viable DNA profile of the suspect it's so important! 

Over the past two decades, forensic DNA technologies have advanced at an incredible rate, especially in the lab processing and profile analysis areas, but the upfront collection, which until recently has been dominated by the swabbing method (essentially a Q-Tip). 

Enter the M-Vac System - a wet-vacuum based forensic DNA collection system that is similar to a medical grade carpet cleaner. 

And it's changing the forensic world. 

The M-Vac sprays a sterile solution down onto the evidence surface and simultaneously applies vacuum pressure to collect DNA material out of nooks, crannies, fibers and anywhere else the DNA might be "hiding", in a much more aggressive and effective way than any of the other traditional collection methods. 

How is this affecting homicide detectives - the primary attendee at CHIA?   They want it. 

They are begging their crime labs to buy a system and use it on many of their cases, or at a minimum approve the detectives to take the evidence to a private lab that has it. Cause it's helping solve some amazing cases and for the detective and every other investigator, that's their only goal. Because a solved case most often leads to justice for the victim(s) and the victims' family - and that is ALL that matters.

In 1989, Sarah DeLeon was 18 yrs old. 

She had her whole life in front of her. 

She was young and vibrant, fun-loving, beautiful and everyone seemed to like her. 

Except one person - and she ended up being the prime suspect in Sarah's murder. 

In December in 1989, a train conductor noticed from his train window what he thought was a body laying next to a large, cylindrical bridge support. He stopped his train and went back to look and sure enough, it was the body of a young girl. 

She had been brutally stabbed 22 times, many of those wounds in the neck area. In the investigative circles an attack that vicious and brutal is often referred to as a 'crime of passion', and it usually involves two people that know each other. 

When police arrived they noticed drag marks in the snow and gravel, with periodic, small pools of blood between the road and where the body lay. The distance was 18-20 feet, at a slight decline, and the ground was frozen solid. 

Not far off was a popular high school partying place, and both the victim and the suspect knew about it, and how isolated it was. The suspect also likely knew that police rarely went down there because it was so isolated. Sarah's body was dragged and left in a way it would have been very difficult to see it from the road. The murderer obviously didn't anticipate a train conductor seeing it from the nearby tracks. 

Where had the investigation led since 1989? 

It's taken more twists and turns than most would believe, including potentially being tied to another murder just 5 years later that involved the same suspect and another couple. 

And Detective (Ret) Jeff Cheek has been involved the entire time. He was a cadet when a homicide detective grabbed him and said he was going out on a homicide call with him. The victim was Sarah, and Jeff thought he knew her and she had gone to his school. 

Could a serial killer be walking the streets to this day? Tune in to find out!
