Mobsters, covert FBI operations and infiltration on a global scale, all covered and discussed with guest

Ron Fino on Kim Kolton’s Crime Wire!

Ronald Fino’s story is something more than a Hollywood screenwriter could wish for! Crime, corruption, secret agents, gangsters and arms dealers all action packed into the story of one man’s reality.

From the ranks of the Buffalo, NY Mafia and corrupt unions, Ron became an undercover FBI informant and after 17 years of reporting on the Buffalo Mafia his cover was blown.  He then went to work undercover around the world, including Russia, the Middle east and Belarus performing many covert operations.

The account of his life in The Triangle Exit is fascinating and almost unbelievable, a tale of coming from the dark side of crime to become widely respected by law enforcement agencies and the global intelligence community. Infiltrating not only the Italian Mafia, but also the corruption of the Russian Mafia and its stronghold in every state in the US, their illegal activity runs the gamut from stolen cars, phony charities, false ID’s, passports, visas, stealing state secret, child porn, illegal arms, money laundering, narcotics, fraudulent insurance claims, medical bills, cyber crime and on and on.

This is the first-hand story of one of America’s most interesting covert FBI operatives. From infiltrating corrupt labor unions to Russian Mafia and international arms smuggling. This story will surely fascinate anyone interested in international politics, espionage, arms smuggling or the American, Italian and Russian Mafia.

Visit Ron Fino’s website for more information about The Triangle Exit, his thoughts on his undercover operations, international arms smuggling and labor racketeering. He’s seen it all and uncovered the corruption from top to bottom!  RonaldFino.Com

Yes, a new look, a new host, but the same quality show!

Scott Bonn has been corresponding with Berkowitz for several years as research for an upcoming book (tentatively titled Monster Dearest: Our Macabre Fascination with Serial Killers) thus gaining his trust and finally being granted an in person visit at Sullivan Correctional Facility in Fallsburg, NY.  Bonn came away from the meeting with a sense of sincerity from Berkowitz about his conversion to Christianity and his ministry within the prison. Bonn reports that the Son of Sam is now known as Son of Hope because of his wish to help others spiritually.

The debate about Berkowitz will go on for a long time, he will never be out from behind prison walls and, according to Scott Bonn, has no intention of asking for parole in the future. He seems content with his life, has made apologies, and is working on being an example to others.

Dr. Scott Bonn will include even more details of his visit in his upcoming book, along with his insights to other serial killers he has corresponded with, including Dennis Rader, the BTK Killer and his theories on the identity of Jack the Ripper. Monster Dearest is looking to be available in early 2014.

Dr. Scott Bonn is located in Manhattan and is available for live on-air commentary, expert consultation and speaking engagements.

Attorney Michelle Cruz Talks about Crime Victims’ Rights

Together we can make a difference.

LISTEN LIVE: CLICK HERE or listen to the Podcast at anytime

Yes, a new look, a new host, but the same quality show!

Over the years Crime Wire has presented many, many cases of unsolved homicides, missing persons, and all other types of crime. Along with each of these crimes comes surviving victims, family members, children, and friends, and most are still working to find justice.

While seeking justice, or grieving for a lost loved one, there are an abundance of rights available the surviving crime victims. Most of them they know nothing about, and others are either misinterpreted or not enforced by those close to the cases who are in a position to do so.

If you are a surviving crime victim and have questions about your rights as a victim for Michelle Cruz, CALL IN to the show or ask in the interactive chat!  

646-478-0982

Attorney Michelle Cruz was appointed by Governor M. Jodi Rell to head the Office of the Victim Advocate (OVA), an independent agency, charged with enforcing the protection of Constitutional Rights of crime victims throughout the state of Connecticut.  She’s a former Assistant District Attorney with experience in prosecuting sexual assaults, domestic violence and child abuse cases.

While in office as the State Victim Advocate her responsibilities included: accepting complaints from crime victims (in excess of 900 per year); proposing new legislative initiatives and policies to address gaps in services to crime victims; evaluating the delivery of statewide services to crime victims; facilitating educational and outreach to enhance crime victims’ rights awareness throughout the state; conducting trainings to state agencies and other organizations that interface with crime victims; appearing in court to address crime victims’ rights violations, and managing all agency-wide administration, including budgetary issues, contracts, and supervision of OVA staff.

On the show Michelle will explain to listeners, especially those who are surviving crime victims, what to expect and how to navigate the judicial system more successfully, holding up the principles of justice and accountability.

In a system where criminals seem to have the balance of rights on their side, it’s even more imperative for victims to know exactly what their rights are, and how to successfully defend those rights if needed.

Michelle Cruz is now in private practice with a full service law practice with a focus on crime victims’ rights, family law and criminal law serving both MA and CT. She is a much sought after keynote speaker and presenter at conferences, as well as an adjunct professor at University of Connecticut School of Law.

Peter Hyatt and Statement Analysis as an Investigative Tool

You can hear Crime Wire Investigates beginning at 9 p.m. Eastern.

Statement analysis involves examining several aspects of someone’s words, including verbs describing communication and uncompleted action; changes in verb tense; minimizing, intensifying, and editing adverbs; extraneous information; unique sensory details; and statement structure, which identifies the person’s focus—on the incident or somewhere else. Research has shown that distinct differences exist between a deceptive statement and a truthful one. By using the techniques of statement analysis, investigators can more readily detect truthfulness or deception in an individual’s words. With these insights, investigators become more efficient and effective in their abilities and gain better focus on the investigation……FBI

Peter Hyatt

The central theme of Peter Hyatt’s personal blog is “Statement Analysis“, a method of linguistic polygraphy which seeks to discern truth from deception found within speech. Many of these cases are discussed on “The Peter Hyatt Show” on Blog Talk Radio, or on the shows of others which invite Peter Hyatt to appear.

Peter Hyatt works with law enforcement, private citizens, attorneys, and other organizations, particularly on missing persons cases.  Peter frequently works consulting with law enforcement throughout the country.

“Although Statement Analysis is of great value to an investigator, it is also a great tool for counselors, therapists, human resources, educators, and all those interested in truth.  Equally valuable for private life, the ability to discern truth from deception is something that can be learned, practiced, and excelled at.  In fact, everyone from junior high principals to parents need to learn to discern truth from fiction.” …..Peter Hyatt

Peter and his wife Heather write timely articles analyzing high-profile crimes, often showing readers areas of deception within television and newspaper interviews.  Check out the blog:  Statement Analysis and get to know the Hyatts and the fascinating science of analyzing words and how they are used.

Peter Hyatt is a civil investigator who has conducted more than 2,500 interviews including children’s interviews.  He uses Statement Analysis is his work, and teaches Statement Analysis in Interviewing.  
He also works part-time as an analyst for law enforcement and private companies.  He is the host of “The Peter Hyatt Show” while appearing on various other programs as a guest analyst, including on the forum of “Crime Wire.”  He has authored many articles and does pro bono work for families in “cold cases”; doing analysis of prior interviews.

Crime Wire: Dennis Griffin Steps Down as Host

CrimeWireSite.Com

Tuesday, May 7, 2013 will be the last show for long time Crime Wire host, Dennis Griffin. The show will be devoted to his long standing popularity through the years as the founder of the show.

Listen in for many surprise guests!

To listen LIVE or to the podcast on Inside Lenz Network: CLICK HERE

Dennis Griffin has stepped down from the helm of Crime Wire to fulfill obligations to new books and new ventures.  For the faithful followers of Crime Wire this news is bitter sweet. We’re happy that Denny is pursuing his dreams and passions, but we will miss him and his expert input from week to week.

Crime Wire has gone through several changes since it’s inception several years ago when it was established withDenny Griffin and Susan Murphy-Milano as co-hosts. Denny and Susan were an exceptional team that played off of each other brilliantly. There are hundreds of shows in the archives for fans of the show to listen to as they wish, covering many cases and topics. Susan Murphy-Milano lost her battle with cancer on October 28, 2012.

Always true to the original notion of helping families bring more attention to cases of unsolved homicides, missing persons, intimate partner violence, and other related crime stories, the show will continue under the leadership of the very capable Kim Kolton.

Kim Kolton has worked side by side with Denny since Crime Wire began. She has served as the Crime Wire Director of Research, but her duties have gone well beyond that title. Kim has been the Producer of the show and long time co-host. She is the one who is first to talk to potential guests, screening cases and researching the details. She will no doubt continue her due diligence for the future success of the show.

For someone who “retired” in the late ’90′s Dennis Griffin’s second life has been filled with opportunity. He has made a name for himself as one of the premier true crime authors covering the history of the Mob in Las Vegas, to which he has devoted a lot of his writing, along with other tales of criminals and the crimes they survived. Denny’s presence on the show will be missed, but he promises to make occasional appearances when time allows.

Denny will continue on the Inside Lenz Network with his monthly show, “We Know a Guy” which examines anything Mob related and features many of the characters Denny has written about in his books.

Let’s toast to Denny Griffin in style!

Join the show, not to say goodbye, but to wish him well in all his future endeavors.

The remains found in Scurry County, TX have been positively identified as

missing 13 year old, Hailey Dunn.

On March 16, 2013 badly decomposed and skeletal remains were found in a field of cactus and brush in Scurry County, Texas, 30 miles away from the area that 13-year-old Hailey Dunn was last seen. Peter Hyatt has written volumes about the case and has offered several theories based upon the vast amounts of statements given by the players in the case in interviews.  For a wrap up of those theories, refer to Hailey Dunn Case Hypothesis

The person who found the remains while searching for fossils around Lake JB Thomas in Scurry County , prison official Curtis Lloyd, will be a guest of host, Peter Hyatt, along with statement analyst and frequent guest, Kaaren Gough.

It’s been reported that Curtis Lloyd has received death threats in the form of a note left on the windshield of his car at the prison. For contents of the note and Peter Hyatt’s expert analysis of the statements contained, refer to his blog:  CLICK HERE

The public is watching how the players in this case are reacting to the news of Hailey’s confirmed death, specifically her mother, Billie Jean Dunn and her boyfriend, Shawn Atkins, both the only named “persons of interest” in the disappearance of Hailey.

As reported to NewsWest Nine,  “Lloyd also said many of the people who spent the last 28 months searching for Hailey have reached out to him to tell him thanks, but he says this isn’t about him. This is about Hailey and making sure justice is served.”

Peter Hyatt  is a Statement Analyst, one who discerns truth from deception, and is a frequent contributor to cold cases, active investigations as well as appearing on radio to discuss current cases.  He is the author of the Statement Analysis blog at www.statement-analysis.blogspot.com  and is a bi-weekly co-host on Crime Wire, Tuesdays at 7pm Eastern. He and his colleagues have written and talked consistently about the Hailey Dunn case and will continue until there are arrests and justice.

Time’s Up! Leaving Abusive Relationships with Susan Murphy Milano and Dennis Griffin, A Tribute

Leave a comment

You can hear Crime Wire Investigates Tuesdays at 7 p.m. Eastern.

LISTEN LIVE:http://www.blogtalkradio.com/insidelenz

Two years ago, April, 2010, Susan Murphy Milano released her third book, Time’s Up: A Guide on How to Leave an Abusive and Stalking Relationship which includes the revolutionary tool for leaving abusive relationships safely, the Evidentiary Abuse Affidavit.

May 22, 2012 was the last Crime Wire show Susan recorded with co-host, Dennis Griffin, before her death on October 28, 2012, but the information contained in this show is timeless and useful for any victim of abuse who is thinking about getting out safely.

On the show Susan talks frankly with 2 survivors of abusive relationships and how important the book Time’s Up and the Evidentiary Abuse Affidavit was in securing their safety.

Susan Murphy Milano turned her 20 years of experience in the field of  high risk domestic violence cases into more than a book, a tool for others to use in order to save the lives of those needing escape from a violent or stalking relationship.

Born with an instinct to come up with strategies to escape the abuse happening in her own home, Susan  has consistently used that instinctive gift towards helping others by working with them in the “danger zone.”

Everyone involved in the movement against family violence should have these tools available, especially the unique “Evidentiary Abuse Affidavit” which is a series of forms and a video that will be a voice for victims who need to be heard.  Cases will be resolved and abusers will be arrested.

Safety plans have been created over the years, but nothing like what is set forth in “Time’s Up” has been presented to be used by those who come in contact with a victim every step of the way, such as attorneys, hospital personnel, prosecutors, advocates and shelter workers.  This information needs to be in the victim’s hands as early as possible to prevent any further escalation of violence.

The Evidentiary Abuse Affidavit (iEAA) is also available as an app in the Apple Store.

Susan’s last book, Holding My Hand Through Hell, is her legacy to all of the victims who are still alive today that were able to come in contact with her unique talents and intuition on how to escape safely.  It will show you why she did what she did to save your life, it’s the true story of who Susan Murphy Milano really was.

Time’s Up and Holding My Hand Through Hell are available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books A Million, local book stores, libraries and all digital platforms.
