This week, Aurora and Angelina got the chance to interview their own true crime hero, Jerri Williams. Murder Murder News is thrilled to shine a light on this incredible lady during Black History Month, because Jerri sure made history when she joined the FBI as one of very few black women in the 1980s! She worked as a special agent for the FBI, a spokesperson for the Philadelphia FBI office, and the Director of Media Relations for SEPTA before retiring from the FBI after 26 years. But she didn’t stop there — Jerri now has 4 crime books under her belt, and she’s the host of the hit podcast Retired FBI Case Files.
Jerri opened up about what it was like moving through her career as a woman of colour, and offered words of encouragement for young women and people of colour who might like to pursue a career with the FBI. She shared highlights and insights from different milestone moments in her career, and things she has gleaned from the many interviews she has conducted on her podcast, where she chats exclusively with retired FBI agents.
With a trailblazer like Jerri out there, folks were bound to take notice. Listen here to hear about what’s next for Jerri, and who she would want to star in the hypothetical movie we hope someone will make about her.
Stick around after the interview to hear Angelina and Aurora dissect The New York Times Presents: Framing Britney, and count down the top 5 Valentine’s Day Nightmares in hopes of cheering the spirits of anyone spending this love day alone. MMN wants you all to be their Palentines! Join the commune on Patreon this month and we will send you Valentines chocolates along with the special Murder Merch gifts that correspond to your tier of support! <3
