Episode 32 – Originally Published 2017
This week I have the pleasure of speaking with retired Supervisory Special Agent, Criminal Profiler and Forensic Linguist, James Fitzgerald. Perhaps I should start calling him Jim, or Fitz, as he mentioned I could. Jim was so gracious when we met and he offered to be a guest on TwistedPhilly podcast, because as you may have heard me mention before, Jim is a Philly guy, and well, we Philly kids stick together.
Jim and I talked about growing up in Philadelphia, his early career in law enforcement at the Bensalem Police Department, his transition to the Federal Bureau of Investigation and his career as a linguistic expert which lead to his participation in the identification and ultimate capture of the Unabomber. Jim’s work on that case is the subject of an upcoming Discover Original Series “Manhunt: Unabomber,” premiering on August 1, 2017.
Throughout his career Jim has been involved in numerous high-profile cases, yet he’s never lost his Philly roots. I am so very grateful for the time we spent together, and I know you’ll enjoy learning more about Jim Fitzgerald’s career and the original series premiering on Discovery. Jim is also a published author; you can find his book, Journey to the Center of the Mind, Volumes I-III, on Amazon and Barnes and Noble. You can follow Jim on Twitter @JFitzJourney and on Facebook at James R. Fitzgerald.
