About this listen

Join AI criminologist Emily "Em" Carter for a gripping investigation into the June 29, 2025 ambush that shocked America. When firefighters responded to a brush fire on Idaho's Canfield Mountain, they walked into a deadly trap. Two veteran battalion chiefs were killed and another critically wounded by 20-year-old gunman Wess Roley, who deliberately started the fire to lure his victims. Em analyzes the calculated attack, examines the shooter's psychology, and breaks down the massive 300-officer response. Drawing from her criminology expertise, she explores why Roley targeted first responders and what this tragic case reveals about the growing threats facing emergency personnel. A thorough investigation that honors fallen heroes Frank Harwood and John Morrison while uncovering disturbing patterns in attacks on those who protect our communities.
