    This Friday, December 5, 2025, at 7:00pm CST, I will be joined by Mike Elam for episode #76. August 29, 2025, The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation along with the Tennessee Attorney General held a press conference concluding that if Sheriff Bufford Pusser was still alive, that they would seek an indictment for Murder, in the death of Sheriff Pusser's wife Pauline Pusser in 1967. People are familiar with Sheriff Pusser from the movies "Walking Tall" which was a tale of the Sheriff of McNairy County, Tennessee. This moved millions, and created a legend in the state of Tennessee.
    After examining the released reports, Mike is going to discuss the key elements to the TBI's investigation. Mike is no stranger to the case, is in large part the reason why the murder of Pauline Pusser was re-examined, after over 20 years of researching the case, interviewing witnesses, and actually turning over the Carbine Rifle that ultimately led to Pauline Pusser being exhumed for her first autopsy. Mike's resolve is amazing, despite the years of threats, insults, and personal sacrifice not only for him but for his family to find justice for Pauline. As Mike says "The Truth has no Agenda", and essentially his persistence for justice is why we are talking about this case today...
    Mike has become a friend of mine, whom I have tremendous respect for his passion and determination with respect to seeking the truth... Someone I consider as one of the heroes in this story.

    This Friday, October 24, 2025 at 7:00 pm, Episode #69, a pre-record episode with Sharon Phillips, who is an investigative reporter with Channel 2 News in Tulsa. Born and raised in the heart of Tulsa, Sharon Phillips isn't just reporting the news—she's living it.
    As a multi-Emmy nominated journalist with over 15 years of broadcast excellence, she's become the trusted voice that Tulsa turns to for the stories that matter most.
    From the anchor desk at KJRH's weekend evening newscasts to the streets pursuing her acclaimed investigative series Oklahoma's Cold Case Files, Sharon brings an unmatched combination of journalistic rigor and genuine compassion to every story she tells. Her Oklahoma State University broadcast journalism training laid the foundation, but it's her natural gift for connecting with people that sets her apart.
    A Master of Human Connection
    Sharon possesses that rare ability to make people feel safe enough to share their deepest truths. Whether she's investigating cold cases that have haunted families for years or covering breaking news, she approaches every interview with the empathy of a mother and the instincts of a seasoned investigator. Her philosophy is simple but profound: always leave people better than you found them.
    Recognition That Speaks Volumes
    Her trophy case tells the story: Emmy nominations, Society of Professional Journalists awards, Great Plains Journalism Awards, and Oklahoma Association of Broadcasters honors. But the real measure of Sharon's impact isn't in the awards—it's in the lives changed, the cold cases reopened, and the community conversations sparked by her fearless reporting.
    Community Champion
    When the cameras stop rolling, Sharon's commitment to Tulsa continues. She's lent her voice and time to Emergency Infant Services, The Ronald McDonald House, Joy in the Cause, the Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma, The American Red Cross, and Meals on Wheels—because great journalism extends beyond the newsroom.
    Life Beyond the Lens
    At home, Sharon treasures her greatest role: mom to daughters Aerilyn and Eden, and wife to husband Bobby. Their rescued Golden Retriever Sophie and French Bulldog Cupcake complete a family that values adventure, whether they're cruising to exotic destinations or discovering a new local restaurant. Sharon's perfect evening might include a warm bath, the latest People magazine, and a Dateline marathon—the perfect blend of relaxation and her passion for true crime storytelling.
    Your Story Matters
    Have a cold case that needs a fresh perspective? Sharon's inbox is always open at Sharon.Phillips@kjrh.com—because every untold story deserves a champion, and every family deserves answers.

    October 17, 2025, on Into the Fire, I will feature Shannon Kulnis who is a former homicide detective with the Gwinnett County Police Department in Georgia. Over her eight years in law enforcement, she served in patrol and crime suppression before finding her true calling in investigations. She began her detective work in the Robbery Unit, but it was in the Homicide/Assault Unit where her passion for uncovering the truth truly came alive. Shannon spent more than three years investigating homicides and concluded her law enforcement career as a Detective Corporal before relocating out of state with her family.
    After leaving policing, Shannon transitioned into the world of insurance investigations—known in the industry as Special Investigations or SIU. Her instincts, experience, and relentless pursuit of the truth quickly set her apart. Today, she leads a regional team of investigators across the Southeast, including one of her former homicide partners who first introduced her to SIU, and serves a Director for the International Association of Special Investigation Units (IASIU) and President of the Alabama IASIU chapter.
    Grounded in integrity and ethics, Shannon brings the same grit and determination that solved murders to uncovering fraud, bridging the worlds of law enforcement and insurance with sharp insight, humor, and a passion for doing the right thing.

    This Friday, October 10, 2025 at 7:00 pm live, Episode #72, I have a special episode coming to you live from Los Angeles, California. I am honored to have a story of survival from a true hero.
    In his own words, Casey Cheshier shares his story of survival after being thrown overboard, run over by his own boat, critically injured, and left adrift and alone treading water without a life preserver in the Pacific Ocean. Somehow, Casey managed to survive his injuries, but he struggled to heal not only physically but mentally. The healing process forced Casey to face his demons from nearly 25 years in the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, Special Weapons Team. At the urging of his family and closest friends, Casey turned his personal journal into this book, offering an intimate glimpse into his journey to regain his life and his participation in several significant law enforcement incidents, many of which you will recognize from their national news coverage.
    He hopes his story will help others going through difficult times, as well as show what the members of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department go through daily.
