Radical Agenda: A New Jersey State Trooper is shot to death on the side of Interstate 80 near the Pennsylvania border. Witnesses to the shooting identify the shooter’s car. Police issue an APB, and locate the vehicle hours later. Fingerprinting of the vehicle points to a fugitive wanted on bank robbery charges. Authorities who inspect the fugitive’s home find some incriminating evidence including a box of bullets linked to the Trooper’s murder. Analyses of the bullets lead authorities to an associate of the killer, also linked to the death of the New Jersey State Trooper. Over the next two years, the two men, who are associated with a leftist organization known as the United Freedom Front, are reeled in through their activities with this organization.
The Killing Zone: In 1991, the Safe Streets Task Force, a joint FBI / Washington D.C. Metropolitan Police Department organization, begins conducting an investigation into the violent activities of a local gang called the “K Street Crew.” Gang members are suspected of involvement in several area homicides. The FBI approaches several witnesses, hoping to convince them to testify against the gang members. Seven potential witnesses are murdered during the course of the investigation. In 1996, a witness who returns to the neighborhood to attend a party is killed just a week before she is to testify against the gang. The FBI must work diligently in order to build a homicide case against a gang that not only has the community so fearful that they remain silent, but also tracks down anyone who does help authorities and has them killed.
Deadly Takeover: In June of 2000, two gunmen rob a Seattle, WA bank, and flee on foot as officers chase them. One of the gunmen is killed in a firefight with police, the other escapes after assaulting a family and using their home to hide. The family helps FBI agents identify the man, who is suspected of several other robberies. Seattle SWAT teams, working with the FBI, search the home of the assailant’s mother, and find ammunition matching that used at the bank robbery. Agents seize a number of documents from the man that not only implicate him in an international fencing ring, but also provide agents with Internet records, leading them to believe that despite his mother’s home in Montego Bay, the man is most likely still in Seattle. After 7 long months of hiding, the man surrenders to the FBI, and is sentenced to 23 years for assault and robbery.
