This is Hidden Killers with Tony Bruske.

Here now, Tony Bruske.

Sergeant Aaron Cross, the head of Nanos' own deputy union, went on the New York Post this last week.

And he called this an ego case for Sheriff Nanos.

FBI sources say the Bureau wants the case, but can't take it without the family's request.

Investigators on the ground say they don't know what is going on who's running things at some of the quotes.

This is the fight that apparently is going on underneath the investigation. And look, I want to say this,

there are plenty of very well-meaning and very hard-working investigators on the

ground that are working this case without a doubt. Unfortunately, it seems when you get to the more

administrative level is where we're seeing a lot of chaos and, you know, leadership starts at the top,

and that ends up being a reflection of how an investigation goes. Jennifer Coff and Defer. Retired FBI Special Agent is with us to discuss all of this.

Jen, you've been doing this for a long time. We've seen dysfunction in cases this way and that way.

How does this one rank to you in terms of one for the ages of dysfunction?

Well, I'm old school.

Yeah.

So part of the issue I have here are all these purported leaks, all of these purported

law enforcement sources, people, look, even when I didn't like a boss or I had an issue with another agent or

whatever, that is always kept in-house.

It's kind of like, listen, I can yell at my kid for doing something, but nobody else

better.

And so I just came up in that environment within the Bureau.

You supported each other.
