Summary: <a href="http://jerriwilliams.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/JERRI-WILLIAMS-Podcast-Logo.jpg"></a><br> Retired agent Jim Huggins served in the FBI for 28 years. During his Bureau career, Huggins was assigned to the Minneapolis, Denver and Louisville Divisions, in addition to special assignments on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation during the Wounded Knee takeovers in 1973 and again in 1975 and during the RESMURS investigation of the murder of two FBI agents Jack Coler and Ron Williams. In this episode of <a href="http://jerriwilliams.com/">FBI Retired Case File Review</a>, Jim Huggins is interviewed about his investigation of FBI agent Mark Putnam, a new agent assigned to a two-man resident agency in Pikeville, Kentucky, high in Appalachian coal country. Based primarily on Huggins ability to elicit a confession, Putnam pled guilty and was convicted of strangling is his pregnant informant, Susan Daniels Smith, in a fit of rage. This case was probably Huggins most infamous, however, while assigned to the Louisville Division, he also conducted or supervised many of Kentucky’s biggest corruption investigations. He served as the supervisor of the Lexington Resident Agency from 1986 until his retirement. After retiring from the FBI, Jim Huggins was appointed by the Kentucky Attorney General as Director of Investigations for the Public Corruption Unit, where he worked for seven years. Recently, Huggins was hired as a technical consultant for Above Suspicion, the feature film based on the non-fiction book of the same name that depicts the tragic saga of Mark Putnam and Susan Smith.<br> <br> Supervisory Special Agent (Retired)<br> Jim Huggins<br> 2/13/1967 – 11/5/1995<br> <br> <a href="http://jerriwilliams.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/untitled.png"></a><br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> The following are links to newspaper articles and blog post about the Mark Putnam murder investigation, book and feature film:<br> <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/1990/06/13/us/ex-fbi-agent-admits-slaying-and-gets-16-years.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Ex-F.B.I.
