Release Date: July 5, 2021

Description: Our first video interview! With hot wings! Inspired by the popular series, Hot Ones, this week we interview Erin Wickersham as both she and Jason take a bite of different hot wings between questions. Erin shares how she started her analytical career with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) and how she transitioned to the Maricopa District Attorney’s Office, helping achieve multiple successful prosecutions. Erin chose a case where she had the opportunity to work with the FBI Behavioral Unit and ViCAP initiative on an investigation to track down an offender and ultimately prosecute. Erin emphasizes the importance of networking, continuous learning, and how one position can benefit another. Erin is currently a Criminal Intelligence Analyst with the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office.
