Law Enforcement Talk: True Crime and Trauma Stories

• Flight Crash In NY From The WTC Attack to Other

  Flight Crash In NY From The WTC Attack to Other Disasters. Special Episode. When the world thinks of catastrophic events in New York City, two significant tragedies come to mind: the World Trade Center (WTC) attack on September 11, 2001, and the devastating crash of TWA Flight 800 in 1996. These disasters, marked by unimaginable loss and sorrow, remain etched in the memories of those who lived through them and those who responded to the aftermath. Stacey Goodman, a retired Suffolk County, New York, Police Officer, is our guest on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast. The podcast episode is available for free on our website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify and most major podcast platforms. She witnessed both of these harrowing events firsthand. With a background as a Disaster Mortuary Operational Response Team (DMORT) specialist for the Federal Government, Goodman was no stranger to tragedy. Her first experience in disaster response was the TWA Flight 800 crash, a tragedy that took the lives of all 230 passengers aboard. Years later, her training and federal security clearance led her to Ground Zero, where she worked tirelessly on the Pile for 23 days following the WTC attack.

Her book, The Dust Never Settles, chronicles her experiences and the lasting impact of her service. Goodman describes the challenges of confronting conspiracy theories that often emerge from these events. “There will always be people who question what happened, who suggest alternative narratives. For me, I know what I saw, what I touched, and what I felt. That reality is indisputable,” she shared. Follow the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and podcast on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Newsbreak, Medium and most all social media platforms The TWA Flight 800 crash, a tragedy that unfolded off the coast of Long Island, was initially suspected to be a terrorist attack. After a lengthy investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and the FBI, the official cause was determined to be an explosion of flammable fuel vapors due to a short circuit. Despite the findings, conspiracy theories still linger, fueled by misinformation and conspiracy theorists. Many of whom spread their message across platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and X (formerly Twitter). Flight Crash In NY From The WTC Attack to Other Disasters. The interview is available as a free podcast on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and podcast website, also available on platforms like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and most major podcast outlets. On September 11, 2001, the narrative of terrorism was tragically evident. The attacks on the Twin Towers and the Pentagon, along with the crash of United Airlines Flight 93, left an indelible scar on the nation. The collapse of the Twin Towers killed 2,753 people, while the Pentagon attack claimed 184 lives and Flight 93’s crash in Pennsylvania took the lives of 40 passengers. For Goodman, the aftermath of 9/11 was a grueling journey. “Working at Ground Zero was surreal,” she said. “We weren't just sifting through rubble—we were uncovering stories, lives, and the remnants of a tragedy that the world watched unfold in real-time.” Today, Goodman’s reflections resonate through her writing, public speaking, and podcast appearances on The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, available for free on their website, in addition to Apple Podcasts, Spotify and many others.

In a case marked by controversy, legal battles, and lingering consequences, Ian Murray, a U.S. military veteran and former corrections officer for the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office (JSO), settled a lawsuit following a wrongful arrest by his own agency. But did he get cleared by them, or did they admit that he did nothing wrong? The free episode of the "Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast", is available on their website for free in addition to Apple Podcasts and Spotify, as well as through other podcast platforms. Murray's ordeal began when he was arrested by the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office on charges of felony theft related to military leave as a reservist and member of the National Guard. The arrest and subsequent media coverage spread across platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn, affecting Murray's reputation and career. The news reached popular podcasts on Apple and Spotify, highlighting the complexity of the case. Look for supporting stories about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium, Newsbreak and Blogspot. Military Service and Early Struggles, They Settled The Lawsuit, Arrested By His Agency. Ian Murray's military career spans two decades, including a deployment to Afghanistan in 2017 and another deployment from September 2023 to April 2024. He reached his 20-year military anniversary in December 2022, demonstrating a steadfast commitment to serving his country. Murray began his tenure at the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office in 2009. However, tension arose quickly between him and a supervising sergeant regarding his military leave obligations. According to Murray, the hostility escalated, resulting in punitive measures, including an extended probation period that coincided with his military duties. Follow the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and podcast on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Newsbreak, Medium and most all social media platforms Murray sought assistance from Human Resources and the Fraternal Order of Police, aiming to address the perceived unequal treatment. Despite his efforts, the situation deteriorated. By 2014, he was instructed to change a military leave day to personal leave or face disciplinary action. When he complied, his request was denied, and a formal complaint was filed against him. The Arrest, They Settled The Lawsuit, Arrested By His Agency. In June 2014, Murray received orders to attend military training at Fort Devens in Massachusetts. Before departing, he used personal leave to spend time with his family.

In late 2022, after a lengthy legal battle alongside his attorney, Murray reached a settlement with the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office.

Most of the public acknowledgment has come through podcasts and social media discussions on platforms like Facebook and LinkedIn. It is available as a free podcast on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and most major podcast platforms. To this day, Murray asserts that the Sheriff's Office has not publicly admitted any wrongdoing or taken steps to clear his name. In the podcast interview, he expressed frustration about the lingering effects of the false allegations. “Despite being legally cleared, those news reports still come up when I undergo security evaluations,” he shared. The case serves as a cautionary tale about the power of misinformation, the complexities of military leave policies, and the consequences of inadequate internal investigations. For Ian Murray, the fight to restore his reputation continues, even after the settlement of the lawsuit. Time is running out to secure the Medicare coverage you deserve!

• Hollywood and the Media Truth About Drug Gangs and Police

  Hollywood and the Media Truth About Drug Gangs and Police. Special Episode. The portrayal of law enforcement and criminal organizations in Hollywood has long shaped public perception. However, the media's representation of police work and the realities of drug gangs often diverge from the truth. Dr. Stephen Morreale, a retired DEA agent, college professor, and host of The Cop Doc Podcast, is dedicated to dispelling these myths. He sheds light on the overwhelming violence committed by organized drug gangs and the misconceptions surrounding law enforcement. The story on this episode of the "Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast", is available on their website for free in addition to Apple Podcasts and Spotify, as well as through other podcast platforms. The Reality of Drug Gangs in America Hollywood often glamorizes or oversimplifies the operations of drug gangs, but the truth is far more complex and violent. The United States is home to numerous gangs deeply involved in drug trafficking and organized crime. Groups like MS-13, Nuestra Familia, Surenos, Crips, Bloods, Latin Kings, and 1% Motorcycle Clubs have an extensive presence across the country. According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), as of 2014, there were approximately 33,000 gangs in the U.S., classified into street gangs, motorcycle gangs, and prison gangs. While some of these organizations are multi-ethnic, many operate along racial lines, restricting membership based on ethnicity. Follow the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Newsbreak, Medium and most all social media platforms. At least 23 gangs operate at a national level, spanning multiple states and drug markets. Moreover, law enforcement has identified connections between transnational drug trafficking organizations (DTOs) and several street and prison gangs. Mexican DTOs, such as the Federation, the Gulf Cartel, the Juárez Cartel, and the Tijuana Cartel, leverage U.S. based Hispanic street gangs and prison gangs for drug smuggling, distribution, and enforcement. These DTOs avoid direct involvement in retail drug distribution, instead utilizing gang members to minimize their exposure to law enforcement. Read supporting stories about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium, Newsbreak and Blogspot. The Role of the DEA and Law Enforcement, Hollywood and the Media Truth About Drug Gangs and Police. The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is at the forefront of combating these criminal enterprises. Its mission is to enforce U.S. controlled substances laws, dismantle drug trafficking organizations, and reduce the availability of illicit drugs in domestic and international markets. Dr. Morreale, who served in law enforcement for 30 years, played a crucial role in these efforts, retiring as Assistant Special Agent in Charge for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Investigations. During his 20-year tenure with the DEA, he worked on financial investigations, asset forfeiture, and enforcement operations targeting major drug networks. Follow the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and podcast on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Newsbreak, Medium and most all social media platforms In addition to his work with the DEA, Dr. Morreale was instrumental in advancing community policing efforts. In 1990, he co-founded the New England Community Police Partnership, a program that trained thousands of police officers and community members to foster better relationships between law enforcement and the public. He educated future law enforcement professionals as Chair and Full Professor of Criminal Justice at Worcester State University. The interview is available as a free podcast on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and podcast website, also available on platforms like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and most major podcast outlets. Dispelling Hollywood Myths Through The Cop Doc Podcast Through his podcast, The Cop Doc Podcast, Dr. Morreale provides a platform for in-depth discussions on law enforcement, policing reforms, and the challenges officers face in the field. His expertise is especially relevant in an era where social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and X play a significant role in shaping public opinion. Many misconceptions about law enforcement stem from sensationalized portrayals in movies and TV shows, leading to unrealistic expectations and misunderstandings about police procedures and challenges. Hollywood often focuses on dramatic shootouts, rogue cops, and quick case resolutions, but the truth is that real policing involves extensive investigations, intelligence gathering, and strategic planning. While media outlets and streaming services like Apple Podcasts and Spotify provide platforms for entertainment and also facts, it is crucial for the public to seek out factual information. This conversation is a valuable resource in this regard, offering insights from experienced law enforcement professionals and academics. Check out the show on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Newsbreak, Medium and most all social media platforms The Impact of Social Media and News Outlets, Hollywood and the Media Truth About Drug Gangs and Police. The role of social media in spreading misinformation cannot be overlooked. Platforms like Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and X have become primary sources of news for many people, but they often contribute to the dissemination of biased or incomplete narratives about policing and criminal organizations. Dr. Morreale emphasizes the importance of critical thinking and fact-checking when consuming media. His work highlights the need for a balanced perspective that acknowledges both the challenges and successes of law enforcement efforts. It is available as a free podcast on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and most major podcast platforms. Conclusion, Hollywood and the Media Truth About Drug Gangs and Police. Dr. Stephen Morreale's career in law enforcement and academia has given him a unique perspective on the realities of drug gangs and policing. Through his Podcast, he continues to challenge Hollywood myths, educate the public, and provide a factual account of law enforcement.

  Why He Did What He Did: Life Trauma Led to Danger. At just 12 years old, Nate was sexually abused by someone his family knew. "I didn't even know what sex was at that time," he recalls. "I hadn't had the talk with my parents, and sex education wasn't even a thing in my school yet." Like many survivors, he was manipulated into silence. "The attacker told me it was normal, and he threatened me, told me not to tell anyone. So, I didn’t." Follow the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Newsbreak, Medium and most all social media platforms. He shares the story on this episode of the "Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast", which is available on their website for free in addition to Apple Podcasts and Spotify, as well as through other podcast platforms.

My relationships, my career, my choices, everything was affected." Follow the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and podcast on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Newsbreak, Medium and most all social media platforms The Tragic Reality of Child Sexual Abuse The statistics are staggering.

Child welfare agencies investigate over 7.5 million children annually, with nearly 3 million cases warranting further action. The interview is available as a free podcast on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and podcast website, also available on platforms like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and most major podcast outlets. Child victims often remain silent for years, or even lifetimes, due to fear, shame, and the manipulation of their abusers. "Most abusers aren’t strangers," Nate explains. "Over 90% of victims know their perpetrators. It’s why so many children don’t speak up, they’re afraid, confused, and often still care about the person hurting them." The Dangerous Path of a Survivor, Why He Did What He Did: Life Trauma Led to Danger. Nate’s silence led to self-destructive behaviors. "I drank excessively. I put myself in dangerous situations because I didn’t care what happened to me." One of those moments nearly cost him his life.
