On December 27, 1993, just after 11:00 p.m., Captain O'Brien responded to a rescue call at the Manhattan Village Mall.

Like parts one and two, this episode is heartbreaking and emotional.

Hi Everyone,

Episode 13 of the Behind The Line podcast has been released. This is Part 2 of a three part series.
https://youtu.be/RjwBcUo-X9c

My guest today is Jessica Jones, a former 911 dispatcher with the South Bay Regional Public Communications Authority,.
On December 27, 1993, just after 11:00 pm, while working and dispatching for the Manhattan Beach Police Department, Jessica heard someone screaming for help over the police radio; however, she didn’t know who it was or where they were at.

She then heard someone else say over the police radio that a police officer had been shot in the parking lot of the Manhattan Village Mall and needed help.

The initial screams Jessica heard over the police radio was the 12 year old nephew of the police officer who had been shot and who was on a ride-a-long with his uncle.

Officer Martin Ganz of the Manhattan Beach Police Department was shot multiple times by Roger Hoan Brady after making a traffic stop, killing him.

Officer Ganz’s nephew witnessed the entire incident and his voice was the one heard by our guest today, Jessica Jones.

In this episode, Jessica shares with us what she experienced that night and the years since then.

https://youtu.be/nBDxT_ZXGx0

Retired Police Sergeant Tim Zins Reflects on The Fatal Shooting of Martin Ganz of the Manhattan Beach Police Department.

On December 27, 1993, just past 11:00 p.m., Officer Martin Ganz of the Manhattan Beach Police Department was shot multiple times by the driver of a vehicle he had just pulled over.

At about the same time and while on patrol, Officer Tim Zins heard someone screaming over the police radio. Officer Zins responded to the Manhattan Village Mall parking lot and found Officer Ganz on the ground behind his police unit fighting for his life.

Officer Zins noticed a young boy near Officer Ganz who was frantic and crying. This young boy was Officer Ganz’s 12 year old nephew and who was on a ride-along with his uncle.

Officer Ganz was transported to a local hospital, but tragically died.

His killer, Roger Hoan Brady was later apprehended and ultimately convicted for first degree and sentenced to Death.

During this episode, Zins talks about what he experienced the night of December 27, 1993 and how it affected his life for the next 30 years.

Hi Everyone,

After a brief break, the Behind The Line podcast has released another episode.

I would like to thank Chief Mike Albanese of the Burbank Police Department for recommending I interview Detective Aaron Denning.

https://youtu.be/7xfDlGna96U

Aaron Denning joined the United States Marine Corps in 2005 and was honorably discharged in 2012. During his time as a Marine, he was deployed four times.

While deployed to Afghanistan, his team was involved in many combat operations. Because of his leadership and decisive actions in combat, Aaron was awarded the Bronze Star Medal, Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal, Combat Action Ribbon, and is a recipient of a Purple Heart.

Aaron currently serves in the Marine Corp Reserve as a Gunnery Sergeant.

In 2015, Aaron joined the Burbank Police Department, where he’s currently a detective and operator with the Department’s S.W.A.T. Team.

In 2021, Aaron co-founded Allied Extract, a non-profit which is dedicated to aiding persons stranded in conflict zones.
Allied Extract has assisted in the evacuation of approximately 500 Afghans who were formerly interpreters for US forces. Allied Extract has also assisted in the evacuation of numerous severely wounded non-combatants in Ukraine.

Today was one of the Los Angeles legs for the Carry The Load Memorial Walk. We walked from the Los Angeles National Cemetery to the Beverly Hills Fire Department Headquarters.

It was an honor to walk alongside others who support the men and women serving in our military, first responders, and veterans.
I can't thank fellow Rotarian and Vietnam War Veteran Dr. Chris Ullman for joining me on this walk.

Dr. Chris was our guest on Episode 3 of the Behind The Line
podcast: https://youtu.be/XWUwUvCYwGs

This was the first time I was involved in this event, but I plan to once again form a team for the 2024 Memorial Walk.

You can still make a donation to Carry The Load by following this link: http://participate.carrytheload.org/goto/behindtheline

May is Military Appreciation Month.

Be sure to thank the men and women serving in the United States military as well as our veterans.

I recently listened to a podcast of an interview with a veteran of the Vietnam War. He suggested that anytime you see a veteran of that war to simply say, "Welcome Home."

Many who returned home never heard those words and to this day, many are still waiting.

Welcome Home!

Quick Update:

Last week I was in Austin Texas to conduct three interviews for the Behind The Line podcast. We now have five episodes that we will begin releasing in January 2023. I'm excited for you to watch or listen to these interviews.

We're also working on interviews as part of a mini-series, which will focus on one incident that happened in 1993. Our guests will include police officers, a 911 dispatcher and a firefighter/paramedic.

We're also planning on doing remote interviews. We want to provide a high quality product, so we're researching the best ways to make that happen. We have a plan and I'm excited to get started.

With the holidays here, we've decided to hold off releasing any episodes until the start of 2023.

In the meantime, we would be grateful if you would consider watching or listening to the seven episodes already released before the beginning of 2023.
