🎙️ CRIMINAL MISCHIEF“Race, Media, and Missing Persons” — with Retired FBI Special Agent Bobby Chacon
In this week’s episode of Criminal Mischief, host Carolyn Ossorio sits down with retired FBI Special Agent Bobby Chacon — a veteran investigator whose decades of experience span organized crime, counterterrorism, and some of the Bureau’s most challenging missing-persons cases.
Together, they revisit two haunting investigations: the disappearances of Joyce Chiang and Chandra Levy — two young women whose cases, though eerily similar, were handled very differently by both law enforcement and the media.
Through candid reflection and hard-earned perspective, Bobby and Carolyn explore how race, class, and public perception shape the urgency — and sometimes the outcome — of national investigations. Why did one case dominate headlines while the other faded into silence? What do these stories reveal about who gets justice, and who gets ignored?
This is a conversation about crime and consequence — but also about compassion, bias, and the uncomfortable truths that linger long after the cameras move on.
