  • 30. The Girl in the Cage
    Nov 5 2024
    James “JP” Cargle took what he wanted from others. He was a drug dealer, a pimp, and a rotten excuse for a human being. I hate to say that about another person. But after listening to today’s episode, you will understand. This episode involves a discussion of a violent assault and rape. Listener discretion is advised. In episode 30. The Girl in the Cage, I speak with Bill Geiger. Bill Geiger graduated from the police academy in Dayton, Ohio, in 1996. He's worked as a patrol officer, field training officer, and K9 handler. He has a bachelor's degree from Wright State University and polygraph training from the Northeast Counterdrug Training Center. In 2011, he was promoted to detective and served as a homicide detective, hostage negotiator, and polygraph examiner. Bill has conducted over 1000 polygraphs and investigated violent crimes, kidnapping, and homicide. He retired in 2022 and wrote his first novel, The Polygraphist.

    Oct 29 2024
    Bill Tolbert was a successful businessman who donated thousands of dollars to charity and political campaigns. He was also involved in the community—a real up-and-comer. But he was not the man everyone thought he was. And all that money he donated? It wasn’t his. As it turns out—Bill Tolbert was a thief! In episode 29. Mr. Tolbert Goes to Prison for Embezzlement, I speak with Leah Wietholter. Leah Wietholter is the CEO of Workman Forensics in Tulsa, Oklahoma. She is also A Certified Fraud Examiner, Certified Public Accountant, and Private Investigator. She is an expert in following patterns to find money. Leah discovered a talent for forensic accounting while working with the FBI. Following employment with the FBI, she opened Workman Forensics to equip clients with tools to find money. She worked with companies that suspected money was missing, parties in divorce cases, and attorneys partnering on criminal defense, divorce, estate, partnership disputes, and other litigation matters. Leah has also created a new interactive continuing education experience - The Investigation Game. The game-based training allows attendees to hone their investigative and data sleuthing skills on a real-life case study in a collaborative team environment. She also hosts The Investigation Game Podcast, where she discusses all things related to investigations with industry experts, providing tips and tools to help listeners become modern-day Sherlock Holmes.
