08/26/2013
 
Mollie Halpern: The FBI and its law enforcement partners are seeking information about the murder of police officer Jason Ellis. Chief Division Counsel of the Louisville, Kentucky FBI Mary Trotman…
Mary Trotman: The FBI has just recently approved up to $50,000 for information for the identification, arrest, and convictions of those responsible.
Halpern: I’m Mollie Halpern, and this is Wanted by the FBI. Officer Ellis was headed home at the end of his shift in the early morning of May 25 when he was ambushed on an exit ramp of the Blue Grass Parkway in Bardstown, Kentucky. He was shot multiple times. Kentucky State Police Lieutenant Jeremy Thompson…
Jeremy Thompson: When a police officer is specifically targeted, that is a higher danger to the public.
Halpern: Officer Ellis, a canine handler, played for the Cincinnati Reds minor league baseball team and coached little league.
Thompson: Someone has information, and that information could help us catch the killer of a fine police officer, husband, and father.

Hate Crimes Against Amish, Part 2

02/15/2013
Mollie Halpern: Perpetrators in an FBI closed case received their sentences earlier this month, but their actions continue to evoke fear among the Amish community.
Michael S. Sirohman: The entire Amish community—at least from New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Michigan—they’re all very aware of this community and still fearful of it.
Halpern: I’m Mollie Halpern, and this is Gotcha, the FBI’s closed case of the week.
Sixteen members of an Amish sect in Bergholz, Ohio launched multiple attacks against other members of Amish communities. In some instances, the attackers and victims were related. Case Agent Michael Sirohman…
Sirohman: They believed it would help bring their victims closer to God by doing this to them.
Halpern: The attackers wanted to shame their victims by cutting and shaving their hair and beards with scissors and horse shears.
Sirohman: The hair and beard of members of the Amish community are symbols of their religious faith.
Halpern: Some victims were also injured.
Sirohman: They wanted pictures to show how funny and embarrassed their victims looked afterwards.
Halpern: For more on this case, visit www.fbi.gov.

The FBI - Investment Fraud / Wire Fraud Charges:

The FBI Podcasts and Radio:

Ahmed Alabadi

10/09/2012
Mollie Halpern: An Iraqi poet used the power of his words to cheat his own people out of more than $2 million.
Philip Reed: They said their lives were completely ruined by what he did.  
Halpern: I’m Mollie Halpern of the FBI, and this is Gotcha, the Bureau’s closed case of the week. Ahmed Alabadi, a dual citizen of Iraq and the United States, persuaded about 3,000 Iraqis living in the U.S. and overseas to invest in him and his company, Fedek Group. Alabadi promised he would double their money in just eight to 10 months. Alabadi and his associates also claimed he was helping to re-build Iraq. Case Agent Philip Reed of the Detroit Division says…
Reed: They definitely used the economic condition of Iraq to tug at people’s heartstrings.
Halpern: Alabadi’s investment fraud scheme was mostly a cash-only operation—making it a challenge to track the money. Agents got a search warrant for Alabadi’s e-mail account and discovered exchanges that showed…
Reed: …that he was planning a scheme to defraud investors.
Halpern: Alabadi was sentenced to prison for nearly five years on wire fraud charges. He must also pay more than $2 million in restitution.

FBI This Week - Laser Attacks on the Rise:



Federal Bureau of Investigation

Laser Attacks on the Rise

10/05/2012
Mollie Halpern: The number of reported laser attacks on aircrafts is soaring.
George Johnson: This is almost becoming an epidemic.
Halpern: I’m Mollie Halpern of the Bureau and this is FBI, This Week. Pointing a laser at an aircraft is called “shining.” The number of shining incidents in the U.S. this year is projected to be 3,700- compared to just 283 incidents in 2005.
A law put into effect this year makes shining a federal offense punishable by up to five years behind bars and up to $11,000 in fines per incident. George Johnson is a supervisory federal air marshal who serves as a liaison officer with the FBI…
Johnson: Aiming a laser pointer at an aircraft is dangerous and reckless, just don’t do it.
Halpern: Captain Robert Hamilton of the Air line Pilots Association International has been lased more than once. He explains why shining is so dangerous for those in the cockpit and on the ground.
Robert Hamilton: I had temporary blindness, my eyes were burning, it caused disorientation.
Halpern: For more information visit www.fbi.gov.

FBI Forensic Accountants

08/24/2012
Mollie Halpern: The FBI is tackling increasingly complex financial crimes with the use of its forensic accountant program.
I’m Mollie Halpern of the Bureau, and this is FBI, This Week.
The nearly 400 forensic accountants in the Bureau collect, analyze, and investigate financial data for FBI cases. They hold advanced degrees and undergo 12 weeks of training at the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia. Section Chief Timothy Gallagher of the Financial Crime Section says the forensic accountants work side-by-side with the agents.
Timothy Gallagher: They do everything an agent does except for execute arrest warrants and carry a gun.
Halpern: A Forensic Accountant Support Team—which is like a SWAT team for accountants—is dispatched from Headquarters to quickly respond to an investigation anywhere in the country.
Gallagher: They are not attached solely to white-collar crime squads. They work international terrorism cases, they work espionage cases, they work public corruption cases…we’ve had them assigned to cyber cases as well.
Halpern: For more information, visit www.fbi.gov.

The FBI - "Crime in the United States" - Podcast:

Mollie Halpern: Violent crime in the United States is down for the fourth year in a row. I’m Mollie Halpern of the Bureau, and this is FBI, This Week.
The FBI’s annual Crime in the United States report shows violent crimes in 2010 dropped 6 percent compared to the previous year’s figure. Property crime also decreased for the eighth straight year, falling 2.7 percent. David Cuthbertson, the assistant director of the Criminal Justice Information Services Division…
David Cuthbertson: I think you could attribute the reduction in crime across the board to very effective policing. This country has very, very effective law enforcement at the state, local, federal, and tribal level.
Halpern: The FBI compiles the data from more than 18,000 law enforcement agencies from across the country.
Cuthbertson: The FBI, in conjunction with our law enforcement partners, certainly will not rest on our laurels as we see crime go down. We will continue the fight to make this country as safe as we possibly can.
Halpern: For more information, visit www.FBI.gov. That’s what’s happening at the FBI, This Week.

The FBI - Podcasts & Radio - Affinity Fraud Scheme:

Mollie Halpern: It’s an FBI white-collar crime case involving a family business that exploited people’s faith, trust, and hope.
Daniel Hemmersmeier: There was no underlying business, just a massive fraud.
Halpern: I’m Mollie Halpern of the Bureau, and this is Gotcha. Roy Flucker, Jr. and his son and daughter targeted African-Americans at churches to market his business. Special Agent Daniel Hemmersmeier…
Hemmersmeier: People really believed that Mr. Flucker was a religious person and that he would never be out to hurt them.
Halpern: But, that’s exactly what he did to nearly 2,000 victims in Chicago and across the country who were bilked out of $10.7 million. Flucker promised people a 200 percent profit in one year for investing in his company’s financial program. The company’s housing program purportedly provided a way for people to own their own homes within five years. In reality…
Hemmersmeier: They didn’t make the necessary payments to pay off anyone’s home.
Halpern: An FBI forensic accountant examined the company’s bank accounts. The Bureau and its law enforcement partners gathered evidence that landed Flucker and his children in jail. This is the FBI’s closed case of the week.

FBI Podcast: Donna Joan Borup - alleged domestic terrorist: 08/31/2011




Mollie Halpern: The FBI is stepping up efforts to find an alleged domestic terrorist, Donna Joan Borup, who threw acid in the face of a New York City Port Authority police officer.

Kelly J. Langmesser: Because of that action, the police officer was partially blinded and had to resign from the force.

Halpern: I’m Mollie Halpern of the Bureau, and you’re listening to Wanted by the FBI. Borup attacked the officer during her participation in a violent disruption of an anti-apartheid demonstration. It happened at the JFK International Airport in Queens in September 1981. Kelly Langmesser of the New York City Office of Public Affairs…

Langmesser: It may be 30 years later, but this police officer deserves justice.

Halpern: At the time, Borup was a member of the 19th Communist Organization.

Langmesser: It was a radical group which ultimately was trying to overthrow the U.S. government.

Halpern: Borup has sisters living in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. She has used several aliases and birth dates. She is highly intelligent and may have a photographic memory. For pictures of Borup and her complete description, visit www.fbi.gov. If you have information on her whereabouts, call your local FBI office.
