This week, we’re bringing you something special – a bonus episode that revisits one of our most gripping cases: ‘The Inside Job.’ But this time, we’re hearing it straight from the fire investigator who helped crack it wide open.

Retired Fire Investigator Bill Lackey takes us inside the investigation of a serial arsonist and burglar who targeted not just homes and businesses—but fire stations and firefighters themselves. With multiple fires, stolen equipment, and a trail of destruction stretching across Southern California, including several fire station burglaries, this case required sharp instincts, cutting-edge forensics, and relentless teamwork across agencies to bring the suspect to justice.
