Summary

Today I am joined by Greg MacAleese, the founder of Crime Stoppers. Greg is a retired Albuquerque Police department officer who had the idea to create a tip line that allowed tipsters to report any information related to unsolved crimes anonymously. This idea grew into a multi-national program that has helped to solve 2 million cases worldwide!
