Welcome to episode 221 of FBI Retired Case File Review with Jerry Williams.

I'm a retired agent on a mission, on a mission to show you who the FBI is and what the FBI

does through my books, my blog and my podcast case reviews with former colleagues.

Today, once again, we get to speak to retired agent Jean O'Connor, who served in the FBI

for 21 years. Assigned to the Washington Field Office, WFO, she worked undercover specializing

in drug diversion cases, investigated complex drug trafficking cases, and was on the extra-territorial

terrorism squad with deployments around the world. Jean was also a member of the WFO

Evidence Response Team, ERT, and was named the Senior Team Leader, a position she held for 13 years.

In this episode, Jean O'Connor reviews the ERT program, the 12 steps of processing a crime scene,

and a bank burglary case, sold with DNA evidence collected by the WFO ERT.

Following the 9-11 attacks, Jean was a first responder at the US Pentagon, in charge of evidence

and victim remains recovery. She led forensic teams to process attacks against the US Embassy

in Yemen, in Turkey, and against US Embassy personnel in Beirut, Lebanon.

Stateside, Jean O'Connor has led teams to process numerous loan offender shooting scenes,

including the Holocaust Museum shooting, the Washington Navy Art Attack, and she led a team to

assist in the investigations of Boston Marathon bomb attacks. During her FBI career,

she also served as a trustee for the FBI Agents Association's Memorial College Fund for 11 years,

assisting the children of fallen agents to obtain a college degree. After her recent retirement from

the FBI, the FBI Agents Association hired Jean to be their executive director. She is also a

principal consultant at Fed Square Consulting, providing instruction and consultation on a variety

of counterterrorism topics to both government and private sector clients.

This is a timely episode. I'm guessing that the WFO ERT collected evidence at the Capitol
