Well, we don't necessarily suspect the parents right away, but we want to clear them right away.

He's actually building an alibi. I mean, he sounds like a reasonably intelligent offender.

Hello, and welcome to Best Case Worst Case. This is Jim Clemente, retired FBI

for profiler, former New York City prosecutor and writer producer on CBS's Criminal Minds.

And with me today across the country is...

Hi, everybody. It's franceyhakes, former state and federal prosecutor. And as Jim said,

we're in distant locations. I am in the XG Productions Atlanta office. I'm Jim.

And I am in the LA division. So it's great to talk to you, francey, and happy New Year.

Happy New Year to you too, Jim. And it seems to me that we have the entire country, maybe even the whole hemisphere covered.

We pretty much do. At least this continent.

So I think you should be interviewing me today.

What a chance to cross examine Jim Clemente. It is truly a major event.

Did I say cross-exam-francy? It's amazing how you go right to cross-exam-it.

What about direct examination? What about a friendly witness? What's up with that?

I think all our listeners will accept that you can be a hostile witness at time, and I'd like to treat you that way.

Well, I don't know what you're talking about, but whatever. Have at it.

All right, I'm ready. Okay. So I'm very excited that we're digging into the Jim Clemente case files a little bit nervous because your case files tend to be if possible, even worse than mine.

So do you have a case in mind to talk about today?

I do. I do.

And where were you in your storied career when this case came in?

Well, I had already been a prosecutor in the prosecutor's office for a total of five years.

And then I had been an FBI agent for 15 years when this case came in.
