When it comes to four-legged crimefighters, dogs hog the spotlight and the headlines. 

But years ago, a cat not only caught a killer, but she made history. This is the story of how one tiny white hair solved the mystery of a women’s disappearance.  This is the story of Shirley Duguay.

Everybody has a traffic stop story, 

For many people a traffic stop is one of our only chances to interact with an officer, therefore depending on the interaction it could cause a lasting impression.

For an officer, a traffic stop is a routine, often forgettable task.  But it is also one of the most routinely dangerous, as officers usually have little idea of who they are stopping. 

This is one of those stories, where a traffic stop turns deadly.

This week I want to tell you a story that will have you questioning who you can trust.   At the center of it all is a girl who vanished from a place where she should have been safe.  

In February 2002, a young girl disappears from her home in the middle of the night, leaving no clues and kicking off a search for answers that hits closer to home than anyone could ever have expected. 

This is the story of Danielle Van Dam.

The story I have for you this week is a story about those who we call in our time of need.   

Every day, the United States’ 800,000 law enforcement officers shoulder responsibility for keeping our communities safe, helping those in need, and running toward incidents that the average person runs from. 

This story is about the courageous efforts of a few police officers and their K9 companions, this is a story where one of them pays the ultimate price.
