In this episode of <a href="http://jerriwilliams.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FBI Retired Case File Review</a>, he reviews a horrific kidnapping case he worked while assigned to the Dallas Division. The case involved three little girls who went missing from their neighborhoods over a three-year period. The only thing their abductions had in common was a white van seen in the vicinity of these separate incidents. He also shares how this case affected him as a young father and his admiration for the families, particularly one of the mothers, who fought to make sure they would eventually learn what happened to their daughters.<br> <br>  <br> Supervisory Special Agent (Retired)<br> Sherman Hopkins, Sr.<br> 07/29/1985 – 07/31/2007<br>  <br> <a href="http://jerriwilliams.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Sherman-Hopkins.jpg" rel="attachment wp-att-917"></a><br>  <br>  <br> <br>  <br>  <br>  <br>  <br>  <br>  <br>  <br>  <br>  <br>  <br> <br> From Kidnapping to Corruption<br> A Career in Law Enforcement on the Local, State and Federal Level<br> Here are links to newspaper articles about the cases Sherman discussed during his interview:<br> Dallas Kidnappings<br> <a href="http://jerriwilliams.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Dallas-Morning-News-2-15-86.pdf" rel="">Dallas Morning News 2-15-86</a><br> <a href="http://jerriwilliams.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Dallas-Morning-News-2-25-86.pdf" rel="">Dallas Morning News 2-25-86</a><br> <a href="http://jerriwilliams.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Missing-Girls-Mother.pdf" rel="">Missing Girl’s Mother</a><br> <a href="http://jerriwilliams.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Search-Continues.pdf" rel="">Search Continues</a><br> <a href="http://jerriwilliams.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/David-Penton-interview.pdf" rel="">David Penton interview</a><br> <a href="http://www.kltv.com/story/6178536/jailed-ohio-child-killer-eyed-in-east-texas-case" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jailed Ohio Child Killer Eyed In East Texas Case</a><br> <a href="http://www.lmtonline.com/import/article_e7ffa676-e692-5834-828c-9b8964bcd5ef.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Convicted killer extradited to Texas</a><br> Philadelphia Police Officer – Drug Theft Case<br> <a href="http://articles.philly.com/1998-04-04/news/25765963_1_marijuana-distribution-drug-dealer-federal-drug-task-force" target="_blank" rel="noopener">He’ll Sing To Skip Jail Ex-cop Admits Role In Ma</a><br>  <br>  <br>  <br>  <br>  <br>  <br>  <br>  <br>  <br>  <br>  <br>  <br>  <br>  <br>  <br>  <br>  <br>  <br>  <br>  <br>  <br>  <br>  <br>  <br>  <br>  <br>  <br>  <br>  <br>  <br>  <br>  <br>  <br>  <br>  <br>  <br>  <br>  <br>  <br>  <br>  <br>  <br>  <br>  <br>  <br>  <br>  <br>  <br>  <br>  <br>  <br>  <br>  <br>  <br>  <br>  <br>  <br>  <br>  <br>  <br>  <br>  <br>  <br>  <br> Jerri Williams, a retired FBI agent, author and podcaster, attempts to relive her glory days by writing crime fiction and hosting FBI Retired Case File Review, a true crime podcast available for subscription on <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/fbi-retired-case-file-review/id1082012464?mt=2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">iTunes</a> and <a href="http:/..."></a>
