  • In this episode of Zone 7, Crime Scene Investigator, Sheryl McCollum, welcomes back Jim Rathmann, a former United States Secret Service agent, to discuss the shocking second assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. Rathmann gives insider insights into the growing threats against public figures and explains how both political rhetoric and mental illness play a role in inciting dangerous actions. Drawing from his experience as a Secret Service agent, Rathmann walks through the chilling details of the most recent attempt and emphasizes the importance of proper security measures, including more staffing and technological advancements.

    Donald Trump was rushed to safety on Sept. 15th, 2024, after what the FBI termed an apparent assassination attempt at his golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida. Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, was arrested and charged with firearms offences. The incident comes almost exactly two months after a shooting at a Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, which left the Republican nominee with minor injuries and killed a man in the crowd.

    Jim Rathmann is a decorated former Secret Service agent with an impressive career spanning from the gridiron to the front lines of presidential protection. Having protected numerous high-profile figures, including Barack Obama and Mitt Romney, Jim offers an unparalleled insight into the world of security and safety.

  • Today, Nancy and Sheryl discuss the heart-wrenching case of Madeline Soto.

    The Orange County Sheriff’s Office said Madeline’s body was found off Hickory Tree Road at about 4:30 p.m. on March 1. Police found the body after someone called in a tip, following a press conference.

    The discovery was in the area where her mother’s boyfriend, Stephan Sterns, had been spotted earlier in the week when he stopped to change a tire, police said.

    Sterns claimed that he dropped Madeline off at school the day she vanished, but Orange County Sheriff John Mina said that wasn’t true and that “she was already dead at the time and that Stephan Sterns moved her body in the early morning hours on that day.

    Sheryl and Nancy dissect critical aspects of the investigation, from the disturbing behavior of the suspect, to the patterns of negligence and abuse within Maddie’s household.

    They also focus on the importance of recognizing red flags and patterns in such cases, and the role of evidence in bringing justice.
