BONUS: BLOODSHED BADDIES x STOP THE KILLING In this bonus episode, we're sharing a conversation originally recorded for the Bloodshed Baddies podcast—where our very own Katherine Schweit joins Lex and Sam for an unfiltered, fascinating, and sometimes funny deep dive into her career and mission. From her early days in journalism to becoming the FBI’s top expert on active shooter response, Katherine reflects on how each chapter prepared her for the next—and why she's still working to prevent the next tragedy. They also discuss Katherine’s latest book, Women Who Talk to the Dead, which tells the remarkable true story of two women—an FBI agent and a Detroit detective—who refused to let 200 unidentified murder victims remain forgotten. It’s a powerful tribute to persistence, justice, and the women working behind the scenes to give victims their names back. If you’ve ever wanted a more personal look at the real-world work behind Stop the Killing, this is the episode for you. Behind the Badge: Katherine’s journey from journalist to prosecutor to FBI executive—and what those career turns taught her about justice. Mass Shooting Prevention: How Stop the Killing came to be, and why Katherine’s fight against gun violence didn’t stop after retiring from the FBI. A Book Born from Justice: The incredible backstory of Women Who Talk to the Dead—and how DNA, determination, and a cemetery in Detroit led to one of the most moving cases of Katherine’s career. True Crime and Real Impact: Why the women behind this story—and the law enforcement community who stood beside them—remind us all of the power of not giving up.
