From the
Association
The Fall
Conference was well attended considering the tight budgets
most Agencies faced. Former G.B.I. Agent John Cagle gave a
very interesting briefing on the Appalachian Trail Serial
Killer. Agent Cagle provided several points as to what
worked well and some areas that could have gone better. The
suspect is being investigated by Florida and North Carolina
investigators for crimes that occurred in their
jurisdictions. Det. Gary Atchison of the Citrus County,
Florida Sheriff’s Office gave a presentation on the Jessica
Lunsford case. Everyone’s interest was well maintained by
Det. Atchison’s delivery. It was interesting that Agent
Cagle and Det. Atchison both had the same opinion of Nancy
Grace based on their experience with her. A presentation on
the F.B.I.’s Evidence Response Team was given by a North
Carolina Team member. ATF Agent Rhonda Trahern, a member of
the Behavioral Analysis Unit, gave an informative
presentation on Arson Related Homicides. The cases Trahern
used to illustrate her presentation, especially those used
by a parent to kill their children, were frightening and
interesting. Agent Trahern also provided a presentation on
Geographical Profiling done by her Unit. FBI Agent James
Beasley gave a presentation in the area of Child Abduction /
Homicide: Offenders in their Own Words. FBI Analysts Raleigh
and Graham covered Interstate Murder Investigation
Techniques. Capt. Larry Trotter of the Cumberland Co. S.O.
gave a presentation of Cold Case Investigation.
