  • BONUS: Chowchilla Kidnapping w FBI Profiler Jim Clemente
    "Mind Over Murder" podcast hosts Bill Thomas and Kristin Dilley meet with former FBI Profiler (and producer and writer) Jim Clemente to discuss the parole process for the 3 men convicted in mass kidnapping of 26 elementary school students and their bus driver in rural Chowchilla, California.  The crime, the largest mass kidnapping in United States history, shocked the nation in 1976.  Should the 3 kidnappers have served longer?  How was the trauma of the 26 young victims taken into account if at all?  We also catch up all of the projects that Jim Clemente has been working on as a writer and producer. This bonus episode of "Mind Over Murder" originally ran on April 7, 2025.
