O’Keefe’s girlfriend, Karen Read was charged with murder.On July 1, 2024, after an eight week trial, the jury was unable to reach a verdict and a mistrial was declared. Within a week, the lead investigator from the Massachusetts State Police was relieved of duty and a local police officer, whose brother owned the home where O’Keefe was found, was put on leave.Was this a simple domestic violence case? Would the result have been different if the genders and or occupations of the suspect and victim were reversed? Was it a complex police coverup, to protect one of their own? On this episode of the Truth Nation Podcast, retired federal agent Bill Bodner and retired Police Chief Mark Garrett discuss one of the most divisive criminal cases the state of Massachusetts has ever seen. Give us your thoughts on what really happened that snowy night in Canton, Mass.

On March 8, 2014, MH 370 departed Kuala Lumpur on a routine flight to Beijing, China, with 227 passengers and 12 crew on-board. The flight never arrived. There was no May-Day call, no cell phone calls, text messages or emails from distressed passengers to loved ones, no black box recovered….. and to this day, there is at least some degree of uncertainty if any verifiable wreckage has ever been found. On this episode of the Truth Nation Podcast, Bill Bodner and the Chief breakdown the evidence, assess the credibility of the involved parties and discuss three popular theories that attempt to explain what is without question, the greatest aviation mystery of our time. Was it terrorism, a missile strike, catastrophic mechanical failure or a suicide mission? What caused MH 370 to divert and where did the flight ultimately end? Watch this episode to hear our opinion. As always, we invite you to share yours!

Familial DNA. It’s been called the single greatest advancement in criminal investigation since fingerprint analysis. Right now there are 100,000 cold case homicides and 650,000 cold case sexual assaults in the United States with suspect DNA samples in evidence. Familial DNA is being used to identify the suspects and solve these cases everyday, but at what cost? As law enforcement taps into commercial DNA databases, mining for partial DNA matches belonging to relatives of unidentified suspects, privacy rights and ethics become blurred. On this weeks’ episode, Bill Bodner and The Chief discuss this emerging technique, where the guardrails should be and where likely overreaches have already occurred. Do the ends justify the means? Watch this episode and give us your thoughts!

Netflix dropped a three part documentary last week with some spicy allegations. In a scenario only fathomable in Los Angeles, it’s the story of 7M Talent Management, the Shekinah Church, and several TikTok dance content creators who collectively have millions of followers. Are the young performers being swindled out of most of their earnings? Is the promise of divine salvation being used to coerce sexual contact? When does coercion cross the line to criminal behavior, and finally, as parents, what do you do when you don’t approve of the decisions your adult children make? Check out this, “truth is stranger than fiction,” story while it’s in the headlines…… on this week’s episode of the Truth Nation Podcast.

On this weeks’ episode of the Truth Nation Podcast, retired California Highway Patrol Chief Mark Garrett and retired DEA Special Agent in Charge Bill Bodner discuss the 1988 documentary film, “The Thin Blue Line,” which chronicles the wrongful conviction of Randal Dale Adams, for the 1976 murder of Dallas Police Officer Robert Wood. How was a man convicted of capital murder with no physical evidence linking him to the crime and eyewitnesses of dubious character? Was the real murderer ignored simply because he was a teenager and was not eligible for the death penalty if convicted? Did the real murderer admit to fabricating a story and implicating Adams in a crime simply because Adams wouldn’t allow him to spend the night in his hotel room? A fascinating story about the importance of integrity in our criminal justice system and what happens when it goes missing.

On Episode 21 of the Truth Nation Podcast, retired California Highway Patrol Chief Mark Garrett and retired DEA Special Agent in Charge Bill Bodner discuss how corporate deception and a broken regulatory process led to two airline crashes and a multitude of quality control issues. To remain competitive with commercial airline builder Airbus, Boeing instituted extreme cost cutting measures, implemented misguided efforts to reduce or eliminate the need for training on their updated equipment, and displayed poor internal communication and information sharing. The FAA delegated to Boeing the responsibility to certify many crucial safety items. All these factors contributed to their recent dubious safety record. Mark and Bill also discuss the suspicious deaths of two whistleblowers and a third career employee turned whistleblower, who recently testified before congress.

In Episode 20 of the Truth Nation Podcast, retired California Highway Patrol Chief Mark Garrett and retired DEA Special Agent in Charge Bill Bodner take a look back at the June 12,1994 murders of Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman, and the criminal trial of O.J. Simpson. How was Simpson acquitted in the face of overwhelming forensic evidence? Was it a poorly conceived prosecution strategy? Criminologist testimony that conflicted with video evidence? A loss of credibility when a key LAPD witness invoked his 5th amendment protections? Or was it simply a jury unwilling to convict in the wake of the Rodney King beating? These questions and many more answered as the hosts break down the crime, the evidence and the longest criminal trial in the history of the California justice system.

Last week in the US Congress, the bipartisan Select Committee on the Strategic Competition Between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party released a report titled, “The CCPs Role in the Fentanyl Crisis.”

On episode 19 of the Truth Nation Podcast, retired California Highway Patrol Chief Mark Garrett and Retired DEA Special Agent in Charge Bill Bodner break down the report.

Are you wondering why fentanyl production and corresponding harm began to skyrocket in 2016?

Does the Chinese government really incentivize the production of fentanyl, fentanyl precursors and fentanyl analogues for export even though they are illegal in China and most have no legitimate use throughout the world?

Do they offer tax breaks and grants to companies selling deadly chemicals, as long as those chemicals are only sold outside of China?

Are some of the Chinese companies distributing fentanyl precursor chemicals state owned?

What recommendations did the committee make to address this crisis and will these steps make a difference? All these questions are answered on this week’s episode. Also available on all podcast platforms.
