We are thrilled to have Ken Strange on True Crime Broads! Kenneth Strange Jr. was born in Brooklyn, New York.  A former FBI Special Agent with the JTTF, DOJ Special Agent in Charge, former PI and current author, Ken has come out with a new book—a true crime memoir, A Cop’s Son: One G-Man’s Fight Against Jihad, Global Fraud, and the Cartels.    This true crime memoir has not only been hailed as ‘gripping’ and ‘compelling’ by Ray Kelly, former two-time NYC Police Commissioner, and Bill Bratton, former NYC Police Commissioner and LA Police Chief, but described as “required reading” by the former Assistant Inspector General of the CIA. Based upon a career with three distinct distinguished federal agencies, Ken takes the reader behind fortress like doors into the secret world of terrorists, financial predators and sicarios.  The book also pays homage to Ken’s father, a 38-year veteran of the New York Police Department (NYPD) who rose to the rank of Deputy Chief and whose career briefly overlapped with the author’s.   Ken’s first Best-Selling book, It’s Your Camino: One Couple’s 500-Mile Pilgrimage Across Spain was published in 2019 receiving the IPPYand Catholic Media Association awards.    His hobbies include hiking, reading and traveling. He is married to an RN, has two adult children and lives in Ventura County, California. He recently became a grandfather for the first time.  BIO (KENNETH STRANGE JR.)   ​Kenneth Strange Jr. was born in Brooklyn, New York.  A former FBI Special Agent with the JTTF, DOJ Special Agent in Charge, former PI and current author, Ken has come out with a new book—a true crime memoir, A Cop’s Son: One G-Man’s Fight Against Jihad, Global Fraud, and the Cartels.    This true crime memoir has not only been hailed as ‘gripping’ and ‘compelling’ by Ray Kelly, former two-time NYC Police Commissioner, and Bill Bratton, former NYC Police Commissioner and LA Police Chief, but described as “required reading” by the former Assistant Inspector General of the CIA.

Many of our listeners had questions for Rob Muchmore, stemming from the previous two interviews we did with Rob here on True Crime Broads. He agreed to come back for a Q&A. We continue to sift through information about a local party and group of friends to hopefully eventually determine if any of it is relevant to the Missy Bevers case. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/truecrimebroads/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/truecrimebroads/support
