This is Detective Dan and I was racking my brain trying to figure out what was my favorite case because I've got so many that I'm not going to be able to do it.

I'm not going to be able to do it. So I was racking my brain trying to figure out what was my favorite case because I've got so many that we've featured on this podcast.

My mind kept going back to Baton Switch which was season two, Episode eight. And I think the reason why that case sticks out to me is because this is right before I became a detective, but I was on patrol.

And there were a lot of aspects to this case that I found really interesting and fascinating. Most of all I was about to become a detective when this case happened.

So I was on patrol and I got to respond to this call in a patrol capacity and be there right from the very beginning.

This victim is shot in the chest and how he survives this wound is amazing to me and a credit to detective Justin who was on patrol at the time for I think saving this victim's life.

And then responding to the end of this car chase and working with my brother who is a detective at the time working together with him as we try to find these two bad guys that committed this robbery.

And also working with Justin as he responded with my old canine partner who is now his partner, Fido, and having an outside agency officer with us and us working seamlessly tactically was really rewarding to me.

Let me know that we're all out there training and doing the right things and communicating. So there are a lot of different aspects to this case. I've listened to it multiple times and I've always enjoyed listening to it and it puts me right back in that scene.

So I hope you enjoy it.

I'm out front and I'm 12 feet behind this German Shepherd that's excited. If someone gets shot I'm probably the first one.

This is the moment here and next couple of seconds are going to decide how this goes. If something bad's going to happen, it's going to happen now.

I'm Yardley and I'm Zibi and we're fascinated by true crime. So we invited our friends detectives Dan and Dave to sit down with us and share their most interesting cases.

I'm Dan and I'm Dave, Red Denicle Twins and we're detectives in small town USA. Dave investigates sex crimes and child abuse. Dan investigates violent crimes and together we've worked on hundreds of cases including assaults, robberies, murders, burglaries, sex abuse and child abuse.

We've been in names, locations and certain details of these cases have been altered to protect the privacy of the victims and their families.

While we realize that some of our listeners may be familiar with these cases, we hope you'll join us in continuing to protect the true identities of those involved out of respect for what they've been through.

Today on Small Town Dicks, we have our favorite twin detectives, Detective Dan.

Thanks for inviting me back.
