Welcome to episode 126 of FBI Retired Case File Review with Jerry Williams.

I'm a retired agent writing crime fiction inspired by true crime

FBI cases. Today we get to speak to

retired agent Jeff Rhinec who served in the FBI for 30 years, two as a support employee, and 28 as a special agent.

During his career, he primarily investigated cases of missing and murdered children.

In this episode, Jeff Rhinek reviews how he obtained a confession from serial killer

Carrie Stainer,

responsible for the Yosemite Park murders,

the brutal slaying of two women and two teenage girls.

Jeff also discusses the mental toll working child predator and murder cases had on him and how his family helped him cope with case-related PTSD and attempted suicide.

Jeff Rhineck is the author of In the Name of the Children, and FBI agents' relentless pursuit of the nation's worst predators,

his personal account of child predator and murder investigations.

cases he worked, including a chapter for his wife and sons. This by far was one of the most difficult and challenging case reviews that I've done.
