Hi everyone and welcome to episode 28 of FBI retired case foul review with Jerry Williams.

I'm a retired agent writing crime fiction inspired by actual FBI cases.

In this episode we get to speak to Dana Wright-An-hour.

Dana served over 20 years with the FBI and she's interviewed about working

drug investigations on the island of St. Croix, a resident agency out of the

FBI San Juan office in Puerto Rico. She lets us know right away that it wasn't as

exotic as it sounds, but the majority of her interview is about her undercover

assignments in California where she was tasked to infiltrate and build relationships

with individuals associated with animal rights extremist groups.

Her job was to gather intelligence about possible criminal activities and to see if she could find information about the location of activist fugitives.

Dana explains to us that in order to be successful, deep undercover agents

accept the fact that their job is to build relationships, to portray relationships.

It's a fascinating interview and I think you'll enjoy it.

Now just two very quick things before we get to the interview.

I want to say, good day, Stuart Kelly.

Stuart wrote me to let me know

North Queensland, Australia in Carnes.

Hi Stewart, that's one thing that has me so excited.

Not only that the podcast has developed such a great following,
