The Secret Lives of FBI Agents & Private Investigators

Thursday on Central Standard, we're searching for clues about the real lives of FBI agents and Private Investigators. We'll ask how much of their time is spent in a trench coat chasing dames vs. doing ordinary desk work.

For the first half of the hour, we’ll speak with retired FBI Special Agent Jeff Lanza. His book Pistols to Press explores his transition from working as an FBI agent to becoming a spokesman for the bureau.

Then, we'll speak with professional private investigators Roy Orth, owner of  R.Orth & Associates, and Douglas Pearson, owner ACT NOW Investigations. From background checks, to missing persons, to cheating spouses, we’ll hear how emerging technology helps and hinders he work they do.
