Release Date: December 12, 2022
Description: Just in time for the holiday season! Christian Pierce joins us this week to talk about the 2020 Nashville Christmas Day Bombing including how they first got the threat, the investigative process, and how improvements have been made so it won’t happen again. In addition to all the other chaos that was happening in 2020, a bomb threat on domestic soil is nothing short of unsettling and terrifying, and during the holiday season nonetheless; but hopefully it is reassuring to our listeners that there are many capable people working around the clock behind the scenes – including you, analyst listener! – to keep us safe. Christian is a U.S. Army veteran, and discusses how his military career helped him transition to civilian intelligence work through a series of training and internship opportunities. He is currently an Intelligence Research Specialist for the Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) at the Gun Crime Intelligence Center in Nashville, Tennessee.

Happy holidays from the LEAPodcasts Team!~
