S21 Ep50: Model Detective: Inside The Mind Of A Female Homicide Boss w/Michele Wood

True Crime Tuesday presents: Model Detective: Inside The Mind Of A Female Homicide Boss with Police Sergeant, Michele Wood! Sergeant Michele Wood, a 25-year veteran of the Chicago Police Department, has spent nearly two decades in the Detective Division. With hundreds of arrests and an extraordinary record of solving murders, she has led homicide teams while also appearing as a legal expert on ABC’s 20/20 and other national true crime series. In her book, MODEL DETECTIVE, Wood takes readers through complex murder cases—revealing how she interprets evidence and uses her perspective as a woman to succeed in a male-dominated world. Wood’s skills attest to her high success rate and stellar reputation on the force and explains why she’s Chicago’s (and probably the country’s) only detective who previously worked as a flight attendant, moonlighted as a fitness-magazine model, and continues her on-air fame as a crime TV expert. From the story of her Chicago upbringing to the extraordinary perils of policing in Chicago, MODEL DETECTIVE is the raw inspiring, tale of courage, resilience and determination in America’s most violent city. On Today's TCT, We talk to Michele Wood about everything from being a second-generation crimefighter to surviving in a big city male-dominant environment. We also break out the unusual crime scene questions we know use are dying to ask a detective!
