During the 11-month operation, the forensic recovery effort sifted the 1.8 million tons of World Trade Center debris and recovered over 4,500 human remains and over 75,000 personal effects and processed over 1,300 vehicles.

SSA Richard Marx is currently assigned to the Evidence Response Team Unit at the FBI Laboratory, Quantico, VA. He has been involved in support efforts following many of the mass casualty events and disasters both domestic and abroad that have occurred during his nearly 25 years in the FBI.

239: TV Industry Tips - Lessons Learned From Retired Agents Producing, Writing, and Consulting Aug 26, 2021

Show notes

In this episode of FBI Retired Case File Review, I'm sharing everything I'm learning about the TV industry. I want to thank Jim Clemente (timestamp 3:33), Jim Fitzgerald (timestamp 34:37), Bobby Chacon (timestamp 1:04:38), and Scott Garriola (timestamp 1:33:27), all previous guests on FBI Retired Case File Review, for letting me pick their brains about producing, writing and developing stories, and consulting, and for generously sharing their advice with us.

It's every author's dream to have their story made into a TV show or movie, and streaming services are looking for creative content to develop. Books have traditionally been an excellent source of materials and now, podcasts are too. I may know about publishing books and producing a podcast, but this TV stuff is a brand new entertainment medium for me. It's wonderful to know I can call on former colleagues for guidance.
