Without Warning The Lauren Agee Case

Bobby Chacon, Retired FBI Agent/Attorney. TV analyst. FBI Dive Team Leader. Writers Consultant on Criminal Minds CBS.   I sat down the other day with retired FBI Agent, Bobby Chacon. If you don’t know who he is…you should. I have admired his work for a long time. Bobby is a career federal law enforcement professional with over 27 years of experience. He has led teams around the globe…from fighting the war on drugs in the mid 1980s on the streets of Brooklyn… to fighting the war on terror during the mid 2000s in Baghdad and beyond. He has worked on everything from complex criminal investigations to international deployments and underwater forensic training. He EVEN helped establish and develop the FBI's underwater forensic program from its inception to its current state….  AND developed the FBI's underwater forensic training program. I didn’t speak to Bobby until the interview, because I wanted it to be genuine and real. I didn’t want him to have a bias…I just wanted him to give me his thoughts based on his extensive knowledge of criminal investigations…especially those around water. Listen in as I get the incomparable, Bobby Chacon, to open up and give his insight to the Lauren Agee case.
