Don't get scammed: a cautionary tale

09/28/18 • 19 min

A case ten years in the making has finally reached an end: the fraud trial of Rick Koerber, who was accused of taking Utahns for a million dollar ride through his Ponzi scheme. FBI Salt Lake City Division Special Agent-in-Charge Eric Barnhart dropped by the KSL Newsradio studios to chat about the investigation with Dave & Dujanovic - and since Debbie is also the co-host of FBI Confidential, we decided to share her interview here. In addition to the specifics of this case, you'll learn how to avoid being a scam victim.

Preview: Spy vs. Spy

(AUDIO ONLY) Later this week, we'll roll out a full-length episode with FBI Salt Lake City Division Supervisory Special Agent Benjamin Barron, who investigates counter-intelligence cases. However, with the recent developments involving indictments naming Russian nationals in the 2016 election, accusations of interference and tampering, and now President Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin's joint news conference after the U.S. / Russia summit in Helsinki, we thought it made a lot of sense to release some of our interview early. Here, we've just asked Agent Barron whether the craft of chasing spies has changed over time, and if so, how.

COLD: Computer forensics and the Susan Powell case

Nine years after Susan Powell vanished from her West Valley City, Utah home, more than a terabyte of data from her husband and his father's digital devices remains encrypted -- and therefore unknown to police. But much of what we do know about the case from the top-rated podcast, Cold, comes from data seized from those machines. The FBI has 16 Regional Computer Forensics Labs around the country, and one of them, led by Supervisory Special Agent Cheney Eng-Tow, is in Salt Lake City. From the early days of the Susan Powell investigation, the FBI's Intermountain West RCFL assisted West Valley police in working to uncover what Josh Powell was hiding. Investigative reporter Dave Cawley joins Becky Bruce with a sneak peek at what he's working on in Cold.
