What happened to Latricia Fipps? It’s the question that haunted her family after she disappeared in 2002. Years later, Detective Jason, known from The First 48, takes on the missing person case determined to find out what happened to her.
The investigation stretches across multiple states and eventually leads Oklahoma prosecutors to pursue one of the state’s first “no-body” murder cases, building a prosecution without ever recovering Latricia’s remains.
For Jason, the case becomes about more than solving a disappearance. It’s about finally giving a family the answers they had been waiting years to receive.
Officer Jason White is a 28-year veteran of the Tulsa Police Department with extensive experience across uniform patrol, the Street Crimes Unit, and undercover narcotics investigation.
He dedicated over 16 years to the Homicide Unit, earning national recognition through his regular appearances on A&E’s The First 48.
Beyond investigative roles, he served as a Crisis Negotiator for a decade and has spent 18 years on the Critical Incident Response Team. His exceptional service has earned him multiple honors, including the Medal of Valor in 2011 and two Citations of Recognition from the State of Oklahoma.
Academic credentials support his career, with degrees in law enforcement from Oklahoma City University and police science from Oklahoma State University.
Today, he is a highly sought-after keynote speaker who presents across North America and serves on the speaker committee for the Homicide Investigators of Texas.

Notes de l’épisode
Detective Ryan is called after a high school teacher makes a troubling admission to her therapist. With more than a hundred potential suspects to consider, Ryan begins narrowing the field, and an interview scheduled out of pure convenience turns out to be a major break in the case.
As the evidence comes together, the investigation reveals a disturbing story of blurred boundaries, abuse of trust, and choices that carry lasting consequences.
Lieutenant Ryan has worked in law enforcement for 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.

In part one of this two-part case, a teenager makes disturbing allegations about a trusted neighbor. Detective Bre begins an investigation that quickly reveals the situation may be far bigger than it first appeared.
As Bre follows the evidence, a pattern of grooming, secrecy and manipulation begins to emerge. Then the investigation uncovers a possible connection to a years-old death that had once been ruled justified, forcing detectives to take a closer look at what really happened.

Notes de l’épisode
When a woman suddenly stops showing up for work, a welfare check at her home raises more questions than answers. Detective Sergeant Laura arrives to find a guarded husband whose account is filled with inconsistencies.
As the missing person investigation deepens, Laura must trust her instincts, keep a potential suspect talking, and carefully piece together what really happened in a case that shocked a small, tight-knit community.
Laura Price spent her law enforcement career asking questions, following clues, and discovering that on a small island, things are rarely as simple as they first appear. Her 23-year career began as a reserve deputy and took her through corrections, patrol, investigations, and supervision before retiring from the Island County Sheriff’s Office in 2022.
Laura spent much of her investigative career working child abuse and sex crimes, but in a small agency, detectives rarely have the luxury of staying in one lane. When a homicide or other major case came along, everyone rolled up their sleeves and went to work. Along the way, she learned to always look in the corners for the clues.
These days, Laura has traded the radio and badge for a somewhat quieter life—although she still has a natural curiosity, a tendency to ask a lot of questions, and an appreciation for a good story.

During a volatile period in Edinburgh, Deputy Chief Constable Tom is called to the scene of a shooting, a rare crime in the UK. The victim is a low-level criminal, and police fear the killing could signal the beginning of a gang war.
Investigators put pressure on local criminal networks, but the effort produces no new leads. With the case stalled, Tom changes course and takes a closer look at the people who witnessed the shooting.
What they reveal sends the investigation in a direction Tom never expected.
Ret. Deputy Chief Constable Tom was one of Scotland’s most senior police officers. A graduate of Edinburgh University and The FBI Academy, his last role was as commander of a linked murder investigation, commonly known as The Worlds End Murders. He writes a regular “Inside Justice” column for The Scotsman newspaper and has authored several books, including “The Worlds End Murders: The Final Verdict” and a groundbreaking study of forensic science called “Ruxton: The First Modern Murder.” He is currently working on a new book examining the sex industry. He lives in Edinburgh, Scotland.

Detective Greg is called to a shooting at a home in a rural community. While investigators are still processing the scene, a stranger suddenly appears in the bushes with a gun to his head.
Greg brings the man in for questioning and quickly discovers something unsettling: he’s had several encounters with law enforcement in just the past week, and each time, he’s given officers a different name.
As Greg works to uncover the stranger’s real identity and determine what brought him to the scene of a shooting, the case becomes one he’ll never forget.
Detective Greg retired with a total of 26 years across corrections, patrol, narcotics and violent crimes investigations. He was active on a joint agency SWAT team and then on his own agency’s Special Response Team for a total of 16 years and was also a Defensive Tactics and Firearm Instructor for his agency for almost all of his career.

Notes de l’épisode
A group of teenage boys are hanging out when a reckless bet turns deadly. Brian is dared to push another boy, Michael, from a three-story train trestle on a freezing winter night.
Prosecutor Kristin is assigned to the case as her jurisdiction pursues felony murder charges against the teenagers involved. But the controversial prosecution quickly turns into a complicated legal battle, leaving Kristin fighting largely on her own to hold the group accountable for Michael’s death.
Kristin takes us inside the investigation, the felony murder prosecution, and the difficult question at the center of it all: how responsible should each teenager be for a death only one of them physically caused?
Kristin began her legal career in 1992 working as a deputy prosecuting attorney for King County, WA. In her ten years as a criminal prosecutor, Kristin conducted over 50 jury trials while working in several different divisions. Her caseload ranged from property crime to homicide, but she spent the majority of her time prosecuting domestic violence. Kristin attended the National Advocacy Center (NAC) in Columbia, SC and became a trial advocacy instructor at the NAC before leaving King County to take a position with the Vermont Department of Public Safety.

Notes de l’épisode
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Akil Baddoo joins Yeardley Smith for a candid and joyful conversation about confidence, resilience, and learning how to stay grounded through the inevitable highs and lows of professional baseball. Akil traces his love of the game back to hitting baseballs with his dad in the backyard, breaking a window before he was even old enough for Little League, and hitting his first home run at five years old. He talks about the confidence his mother instilled in him, knowing from a young age that he wanted to play professionally, and why he never believed in having a backup plan. He also opens up about the setbacks that tested that confidence, including Tommy John surgery, a grueling rehabilitation, the loss of his brother, and the uncertainty of what would come next. Akil shares how journaling, meditation, and learning to control his thoughts helped him through those moments and prepared him for an unforgettable start to his Major League career: a home run on the first pitch he saw, followed by a grand slam and a walk-off hit in his first three games. They also talk about handling failure in a sport where even the best players fail most of the time, staying connected to the joy that made him love baseball in the first place, and the importance of family, community, and his Ghanaian and Trinidadian roots. Plus, Akil shares why he opened The Fade Lounge in Atlanta, his plans to give back to his former high school, and his lesser-known talent for roller skating. Then Akil takes on the Last At-Bat, answering rapid-fire questions about his favorite Beyoncé song, the toughest pitcher he has ever faced, the career he might have pursued outside of baseball, his 200-pair sneaker collection, and the person he trusts most in the world. Every athlete has a story. Guard the Yard is here to hear it.

Notes de l’épisode
Welcome to the premiere episode of Firehouse Files, hosted by Steve Buscemi, Marian Fontana, and Dennis Gordon. Firehouse Files features firefighters and first responders sharing firsthand accounts of the calls that have stayed with them.
Today’s special episode, “Never Forget,” commemorates the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks and honors the firefighters who were lost that day and in the years since.
Steve, Marian, Dennis, and their guest, former FDNY Fire Commissioner Dan Nigro, were all in New York City on September 11 and each experienced the tragedy from a different perspective. Dan was serving as the FDNY’s Chief of Operations when the first plane struck the World Trade Center and became Chief of Department after Chief Peter Ganci was killed in the collapse.
Together, they reflect on what they witnessed that day, the firefighters who entered the towers, the rescue and recovery efforts that followed, and the enormous personal toll 9/11 took on the firefighting community. They also discuss survivor guilt, mental health, and the 9/11-related illnesses that continue to claim the lives of first responders 25 years later.
“Never Forget” serves as both a memorial to those we lost and an introduction to Firehouse Files.
The full first season will premiere in January 2027.
Firehouse Files is a co-production between Audio 99 and Olive Productions

A new kind of DNA analysis changes everything.

Working with a small team, he uses an SNP profile to identify distant relatives and build family trees that may ultimately lead to a name. After decades of dead ends, the case begins to move with astonishing speed - culminating in, at last, the arrest of Joseph D’Angelo.

Notes de l’épisode
The crimes move north, and a new name emerges: the East Area Rapist. Paul Holes explains how the offender’s behavior changed after Visalia, how early attacks in the Sacramento area unfolded, and how investigators struggled to understand whether they were dealing with a new offender or just someone who had evolved. As the crime spree expands, Paul begins to unpack one of the most disturbing facts of the case: Joseph DeAngelo was a police officer.

Notes de l’épisode
In the final part of this three-part series, retired FBI agent Scott brings us to the end of one of the most significant domestic terrorism cases in American history. Justice is served for the people of Oklahoma City. But for Scott, closing a case like this doesn't mean leaving it behind. Some cases stay with you. This is one of them.
Retired FBI agent R. Scott Crabtree was born in Herington, KS and raised in Omaha, NE. After high school, he enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps before getting his college degree in accounting, aconomics, and business.
During his nearly 25 years career with the Bureau, Scott was assigned to five different field offices, including New York City, their largest office, and the Salina, KS, Resident Agency, a one-person office, as well as two tours at FBIHQ in Washington D.C.
Scott was the lead Kansas investigator of the Oklahoma City Bombing. He later led the Cyber Crime Squad in New York where he worked cases including the "I Love You" virus. After that, he led a rapid task force in Seattle that helped capture the D.C. snipers.
After his retirement, Scott was recruited by a non-profit contractor firm where he was able to continue his work supporting and enabling operational, intelligence and information-sharing functions in numerous law enforcement and intelligence agencies.
Scott's book about his work with the Oklahoma City bombing case, called Under 80 Hours, was published in 2025.Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

In part two of this three-part series, retired FBI agent Scott comes face to face with a key second suspect in the Oklahoma City bombing. What follows is an hours-long interview that requires as much patience as it does skill. The suspect's story shifts and changes, and Scott has to navigate every contradiction carefully, pushing just enough without pushing too far. One wrong move and it all falls apart. Scott needs this to hold up in court.

In January 2025, a 17-year-old opened fire in his school cafeteria, killing a teenage girl before turning the gun on himself. In the aftermath, Matt Kriner faces a different kind of investigation. His job is to dig through the suspect's vast digital footprint, a record rife with racist and violent rhetoric, and piece together not just what happened, but why. And what it might take to prevent it from happening again.
Matt Kriner has a background in intelligence analysis and is the Executive Director Institute for Countering Digital Extremism (ICDE), which he co-founded to provide guidance to government agencies and tech companies helping prevent online radicalization and offline extremist harms. Matt is the expert witness for several key legal cases against accelerationist perpetrators in both the U.S. and Canada, and his insights may be found in a variety of outlets, including the PBS Documentary The Rise and Fall of Terrorgram.

Notes de l’épisode
A man pulls a gun on his wife during an argument and refuses to surrender when law enforcement arrives. Lieutenant Ryan takes the scene and what follows is a tense, five-hour negotiation. As Ryan works to bring the situation to a safe resolution, the case becomes a window into how suspects behave in these moments and what it takes to reach them.
Lieutenant Ryan has worked in law enforcement for 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.

Two elderly women are assaulted by the same CNA who was assigned to care for them. Detective Robert picks up the case and sits down with the suspect for a lengthy interview, walking away with a confession. But when Robert puts out a media release, the phones don't stop ringing. Victims come forward. Former coworkers admit they knew something was wrong. What emerges is bigger than one case. It's a picture of a broken system that allowed a predator to keep operating.
Sergeant Robert has been in law enforcement for over 20 years. Prior to becoming a detective, he spent nine years on patrol, where he served as a Field Training Officer (FTO) and an FBI-trained hostage negotiator. As a detective, he worked in a unit that investigated crimes against children, including sex crimes, serious physical abuse and child homicides. He was later re-assigned to the violent crimes unit, where he investigated homicides, robberies and other serious felonies. He was an active member of his county’s major crimes team, which investigated homicides and officer-involved shootings. After 10 years in investigations, Robert was promoted to sergeant.
