Welcome to episode 39 of FBI Retired Case File Review with Jerry Williams.

I'm a retired agent writing crime fiction inspired by actual FBI cases. In this episode we speak

to retired special agent Tony Krapit. Tony served in the FBI for more than 24 years.

Her investigative specialties were public corruption, organized crime, and money laundering.

As a crisis negotiator, she responded to a number of kidnappings in barricade situations and as an instructor at the FBI Academy

She was designated a subject matter expert in intelligence, interview and interrogation She later supervised special agent operations at a satellite office out of the

FBI Detroit Division. Tony has interviewed about the crisis incident response group,

Serg, and specifically about the crisis negotiation unit

and what the team was responsible for.

She is also interviewed about the case of the kidnapped grandmother,

Hety Braun, who was taken on her 88th birthday and held for a $3 million ransom.

Can you believe that?

They kidnapped her on her 88th birthday.

Prior to retiring, Tony was assistant special agent

in charge of the FBI's Jacksonville Field Office where she was responsible

for criminal intelligence cyber crisis management programs and operations. Shortly after retiring Tony founded Risk

Confidence Group LLC to provide operational risk consulting and services focus on

insider threat, safety and security, risk intelligence, crisis

management and other related areas. Tony also provides expert commentary for local media outlets regarding crime, terrorism, workplace

violence, and issues related to the FBI.

Before we get to that interview, I must say thank you, thank you, thank you.
