In this intense episode of Things Police See, host Steve Gould sits down with the "Homicide Hunter" himself, Lieutenant Joe Kenda. With a career spanning 23 years at the Colorado Springs Police Department and a staggering 92% solve rate over 387 murder cases, Kenda shares firsthand accounts of the cases that defined his career and the transition from the streets to stardom on Investigation Discovery.

Joe dives deep into his early days as a patrolman in the 1970s, recounting his first "hot call" and the chilling reality of investigating nearly 400 murders. We discuss the psychological toll of the job, his take on PTSD, and why he finds storytelling to be his greatest form of therapy. Plus, Joe gives us a preview of his book, Killer Triggers, exploring the "why" behind violent crimes, including a shocking case involving dementia-induced psychosis.

Whether you're a fan of Homicide Hunter, American Detective, or a law enforcement professional looking for veteran advice, this interview offers a raw, unfiltered look at the reality of police work and the "greatest show on earth."
