Today, Constance coaches businesses and entrepreneurs, runs a podcast, and has become a powerful voice for women overcoming trauma and adversity. Serial Killers in the Spotlight Constance’s story taps into the horrifying reality of serial killers—predators who prey on the vulnerable. Her encounter occurred during a period when serial killers like the infamous “Santa Rosa Hitchhiker Murders” terrorized California. Between 1972 and 1973, a series of unsolved homicides shook Sonoma County, California. Young female hitchhikers were found murdered in rural areas, their bodies dumped near creek beds and roadsides. Despite extensive investigations, many of these cases remain unsolved, and the perpetrator of these crimes was never definitively identified. These chilling murders are believed to be the work of a serial killer who scouted his victims before killing them. The stories of these young women—Maureen Louise Sterling, Yvonne Lisa Weber, Kim Wendy Allen, and many others—serve as a reminder of how vulnerable women were during that era of hitchhiking. Unfortunately, serial killers like Constance's assailant often went unidentified for years, leaving devastation in their wake.

While the existence of serial killers is relatively rare, their impact on society is immense. Across U.S. history, names like Robert Lee Yates, Chester Turner, and Randy Steven Kraft have become synonymous with horror. These men committed heinous crimes against women, leaving trails of devastation. Yates was responsible for 13 murders, while Turner’s count reached 14, and Kraft, known as the “Scorecard Killer,” was convicted of 16 murders but believed to have killed as many as 67. Each of these men had their own horrifying modus operandi, whether it was dumping bodies in rural areas, like Yates, or keeping a scorecard of his victims like Kraft. Then there’s Robert Hansen, who hunted his victims in the Alaskan wilderness, and Randall Woodfield, known as the “I-5 Killer,” who terrorized women across three states. These predators left law enforcement scrambling for answers, leading to years of investigation and public fear. Understanding the Mind of a Serial Killer.

  • Race and Life Bias Stereotypes Smashed. His Inspiring Story. 💥

    Race and Life Bias Stereotypes Smashed. His Inspiring Story. 💥
    Sep 18 2024
    Race and Life Bias Stereotypes Smashed. His Inspiring Story. Discussions surrounding race, life, and the impact of stereotypes are more pertinent than ever. These conversations often highlight the biases and obstacles faced by individuals of color, especially those who grow up in disadvantaged environments. Yet, there are far more remarkable stories of people who not only overcome these challenges but shatter the stereotypes often imposed on them. Kevin Jackson is one such individual who has defied the odds, broken through societal biases, and built an inspiring life that stands as a beacon of perseverance and success. Be sure to check out the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and most all social media platforms. Kevin Jackson’s story is not the typical narrative we often see portrayed in Hollywood or mainstream media. In fact, his life stands in stark contrast to the one that might be expected for someone who lost his mother when he was just five years old and whose father was imprisoned. Many would assume that such a background would inevitably lead to a life of struggle, poverty, and limited opportunities. But Kevin's life tells a different story — one that smashes stereotypes and rewrites the narrative of what is possible. The interview is available as a free podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, our website or most major podcast platforms. At the tender age of five, Kevin Jackson experienced a heartbreaking loss when his mother passed away. To add to the challenges, his father was incarcerated in prison. With no parents to raise him and his brother, they were sent to live with their grandparents. This transition marked the beginning of what many would mistakenly assume to be a difficult and challenging childhood. Society might have written him off, assuming that with his family circumstances, he had little chance of breaking free from the cycle of hardship. But Kevin refused to accept the path others had set for him. Kevin often refers to himself as "The Black Kid Who Refused to Quit," a title that speaks volumes about his relentless determination. His refusal to give in is at the heart of his incredible success story. Despite the odds stacked against him, Kevin rose to become a media mogul, a syndicated talk radio show host, and a successful podcast host. He’s written multiple books, produced movies, and even carved out a career as a stand-up comedian and MMA fighter. Additionally, he served as a contributor to Fox News, regularly appearing on television and offering his unapologetically bold opinions. Race and Life Bias and Stereotypes Smashed. His Inspiring Story. Stay up to date by following the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, MeWe, Pinterest, Newsbreak, Medium and other social media platforms. Kevin Jackson’s rise to prominence in the media world is nothing short of extraordinary. In an industry that is often accused of perpetuating stereotypes and biases, particularly regarding race, Kevin’s success story offers a refreshing counter-narrative. His presence in these spaces, combined with his personal story and career successes, has allowed him to challenge the stereotypes about African Americans. Kevin’s journey proves that success is possible, regardless of background, and he has become a powerful example of breaking through limitations imposed by society. However, Kevin’s journey hasn’t been without controversy. One of the most notable incidents occurred during the confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. Kevin made headlines for a series of controversial tweets, leading to his termination as a contributor from Fox News. Listen to this interview as a free podcast on our website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify and most major podcast platforms. While the controversy surrounding his comments raised questions about his approach to sensitive topics, it did little to derail his broader career. In fact, it only seemed to fuel his determination to speak openly about the issues that matter most to him — even when his opinions ruffle feathers. Kevin has continued to build his platform through his radio show, podcasts, and other media outlets, where he offers his unique perspective on politics, race, and culture. Race and Life Bias Stereotypes Smashed. His Inspiring Story. Kevin’s impact extends beyond the airwaves and television screens. He is also the author of the best-selling book "Race Pimping: The Multi-Trillion Dollar Business of Liberalism", in which he critiques what he sees as the exploitation of race by political elites for financial gain. In his view, the politics of race have cost America trillions of dollars, with little benefit to the communities they claim to serve. Kevin argues that the cycle of race-baiting has enriched politicians and their allies while leaving behind the very people they purport to help. His sharp critiques of race and politics have won him both ...

    Couple Investigating Crime In Thailand and Across The World. Special Episode. ☀️
    Sep 15 2024
    Couple Investigating Crime In Thailand and Across The World. Special Episode. In the dimly lit streets of Thailand’s red-light districts, and the hidden corners of bars and brothels across Southeast Asia, an ordinary couple has been fighting against an extraordinary evil: human sex trafficking. Matt and Laura Parker, the co-founders of The Exodus Road, have made it their life’s mission to expose and dismantle sex trafficking networks. Their journey is one marked by immense courage, unwavering determination, and a significant impact on the global fight against human trafficking. Listen to the interview with Matt which is available as a podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, our website and most major podcast Platforms.

Follow the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and most all social media platforms. The Beginning of an Unexpected Journey, Couple Investigating Crime In Thailand and Across The World. The Parkers’ path into the dangerous world of undercover investigations began in an unlikely place: a children’s home for girls in rural Thailand, where they were working as directors. There, they confronted the grim reality of sex trafficking and its devastating impact on vulnerable children. Witnessing the heartbreaking consequences of poverty and exploitation strengthened their resolve to take action. Matt started collaborating with local law enforcement, aiming to protect at-risk children from falling into the hands of traffickers. His efforts led to his deputization by local police, allowing him to work directly on anti-trafficking operations as an undercover investigator. Equipped with hidden body cameras, Matt assumed the dangerous role of a "john"—a potential customer seeking to purchase sex. This undercover work enabled him to gather vital evidence, which helped law enforcement identify traffickers and rescue victims. While this work was far from what the couple had envisioned when they first arrived in Thailand, their commitment only grew stronger. They saw firsthand the urgent need for intervention and realized how ordinary people could make an extraordinary difference.

    Cartel Corruption of Federal Agents, FBI, DEA, at the Border and More. 🔥
    Sep 11 2024
    Cartel Corruption of Federal Agents, FBI, DEA, at the Border and More. The U.S.- Mexico border has long been a battleground in the fight against drug trafficking and organized crime. Yet, a lesser-known and equally troubling battle involves the corruption of federal agents — from corrections officers and border patrol to FBI and DEA agents. This episode of the Law Enforcement Talk Radio show and Podcast explores how cartels corrupt federal agents, the investigations that unveil these betrayals, and the outcomes. Follow the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and most all social media platforms. Cartel corruption of Federal Agents often begins with small, seemingly harmless actions by federal agents. For instance, a border patrol officer might turn a blind eye to suspicious activity in exchange for a quick payoff or accept a small bribe for allowing contraband through. These seemingly minor transgressions can escalate, gradually entangling the agents in a web of cartel operations. Once compromised, agents find themselves increasingly beholden to criminal groups, leading to more significant acts of corruption. Listen to this interview as a free podcast on our website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify and most major podcast platforms. The journey from minor misconduct to severe criminal involvement is often marked by a series of careless, even mindless, decisions. According to Ken Strange, a retired federal agent with the FBI, USAID, and the Department of Justice (DOJ), "many major corruption investigations are triggered by stupid, mindless incidents by the officers involved." Strange's insights are informed by years of experience investigating cartel corruption among federal agents. His new book, A Cop's Son: One G-Man's Fight Against Jihad, Global Fraud, and the Cartels, sheds light on the multi-faceted corruption efforts by cartels targeting FBI and DEA agents. Ken Strange's career spanned three federal agencies — the FBI, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), and the DOJ — and involved conflicts with jihadists, cartels, and international fraudsters. In his book, he breaks down his federal career into three parts: the fight against jihad (FBI), the fight against global fraud (USAID OIG), and the fight against the cartels (DOJ OIG). The book has received praise from notable figures in law enforcement, including former NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly and former LAPD Chief William Bratton. Cartel Corruption of Federal Agents, FBI, DEA, at the Border and More. Strange's book is more than just a recounting of his experiences; it is a unique exploration of the variety of investigative stories accrued across three distinguished U.S. government agencies. His friend, a prominent Hollywood actor, has even suggested that the book's final chapter would make for a great movie. Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest, MeWe and other social media platforms. Articles about this are on Newsbreak and Medium. The FBI has intensified its focus on corruption at the Southwest border. Out of the 700 agents dedicated to combating public corruption, about 120 are assigned to this region. These agents coordinate their investigative efforts with the Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General (DHS OIG), Customs and Border Protection Internal Affairs (CBP-IA), the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), and the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The results of these efforts are significant: over 400 public corruption cases have originated from this region, leading to more than 100 arrests and over 130 state and federal cases prosecuted in FY 2009 alone. To further these efforts, the FBI has established 12 border corruption task forces along the Southwest border, which share intelligence with groups such as the Southwest Intelligence Group (SWIG), the El Paso Intelligence Center (EPIC), and Mexican legal attachés to identify and disrupt Mexican drug trafficking organizations (DTOs). Cartel Corruption of Federal Agents, FBI, DEA, at the Border and More. The interview is available as a free podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, our website or most major podcast platforms. International cooperation is crucial in the fight against cartel corruption. The FBI, for example, has strengthened its ties with Mexican law enforcement. Recently, the FBI’s McAllen office hosted 30 Mexican police officers for a week of training and information sharing through the Mexican American Liaison and Law Enforcement Training (MALLET) program. This week-long initiative included modules on ethics, firearms, and investigative techniques aimed at building law enforcement contacts with the Mexican government. During a Senate hearing, Senator Mark Pryor expressed concerns about cartels infiltrating U.S. law enforcement, stating, "U.S. border defenses have been beefed up, which has helped to squeeze these ...
