Welcome back to Missing. I am Tim here today with Lance Lance. How are you today?

I'm doing pretty well today Tim to scorch you out there, but I'm trying to stay cool.

I hope everyone out there is also doing well and staying cool. Speaking of cool Tim, you're

always cool. But how are you feeling? I was going to say you're always cool. I'm feeling fine.

I'm feeling good today. I'm excited to speak with our new friend here, retired sergeant detective John

Fereso. And he was head of the Missing Person Squad in New York City. It's a pretty amazing

background. And to get to pick his brain on Missing Person's cases was so valuable.

Really refreshing as well to have somebody on who really knows their stuff about the topics that

we're discussing. And he's very articulate and he answers questions very completely. Just

really great to imagine the listener taking this in because what he's saying is super important.

His journey to that particular unit, the Missing Person Squad unit is really fascinating because

he started off in internal affairs. And while it's not exactly like people are used to seeing it as

portrayed on television, he did say that he had more friends going into it than he had coming out.

And I think that is a really fascinating way to train yourself and have your, I don't know,

just being thrown into the fire in terms of being employed by the New York Police Department.

Yeah, internal affairs definitely doesn't seem like an enjoyable department, I think, because

you're probably friends with a lot of these people that you're now forced to investigate.

So I could see that and he definitely had a better time, I think, in the Missing Person Squad.

And he's an interesting guy, Lance. He volunteers with private investigations for the Missing.

And you can check out more about what they do at investigationsforthemissing.org. He's also a

private investigator. He runs Ferris Investigations out of New York and they have a website,

it's ferrisinvestigations.org and you can also find him on Twitter at John Fereso.
