Sasha Larkin spent more than 26 years with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, rising through the ranks to become the first woman in Nevada history to serve as an Assistant Sheriff. In this episode, she takes us inside her career in Las Vegas law enforcement — from her unlikely path from professional dancer and bartender to police officer, to working the streets, rising through leadership, and responding to some of the most difficult moments the city has ever faced. Sasha shares stories from decades on the job, the trauma officers carry home, and her experience serving as an incident commander during the October 1, 2017 Route 91 Harvest Festival mass shooting.

John Bunn grew up in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, and at just 14 years old was arrested for a murder he did not commit. His case was handled by NYPD Detective Louis Scarcella, whose investigative practices would later come under intense scrutiny in numerous wrongful-conviction cases. Despite Bunn and his 17-year-old co-defendant not matching the description of the shooters, both teenagers were convicted in 1992, and John was sentenced to 7 years to life. Behind bars, he taught himself to read, earned his GED at 17, and ultimately spent years fighting to prove his innocence. After being paroled in 2006, that fight continued for another 12 years until his conviction was vacated and all charges were dismissed in 2018. In 2020, New York City settled his wrongful-conviction lawsuit for $5.9 million.

John Constantine spent 23 years in the United States Secret Service, including 15 years on the elite Counter Assault Team protecting four U.S. presidents and carrying out high-stakes protective operations in nearly 90 countries. He rose through leadership roles overseeing CAT operations, the Joint Operations Center, and the Dignitary Protective Division before retiring in 2025. Now, as the author of Hallways and Stairwells, John opens up about the side of the Secret Service most people never see — the pressure, ego, mental health struggles, loss of identity, transition back to normal life, and what redemption looks like after more than two decades protecting others.

Larry Barnhill went from track star, college graduate, and event promotion executive working around famous athletes and celebrities to becoming part of Atlanta's Morning Glory Boys — a highly organized crew that carried out bank robberies for nearly a decade. After being pushed out of his corporate career, Larry started selling drugs to fund a new business before being pulled deeper into the criminal world, where millions of dollars were at stake and bank heists became a way of life. Eventually, it all came crashing down. Larry was sentenced to 26 years — 312 months — in federal prison and served more than 22 years behind bars.

Elizabeth Guzman was a prosecutor when her husband Javier — a Tampa vice detective who made the DEA task force — was arrested for laundering money for the cartel and sentenced to 11 years in federal prison. She stood by him through the entire case and his decade behind bars, even finding a way to start a family while he was in federal custody. Elizabeth shares what it was like watching her husband get prosecuted by the same system she worked inside, why she stayed, and what 11 years of federal prison looked like from the other side.

Javier Guzman became a Tampa police officer at a young age and quickly rose through the ranks into vice and undercover work before earning a spot on a DEA task force. He went from chasing drug dealers and running dangerous undercover operations to crossing a line that would completely change his life — working with the cartel and helping launder money. After someone flipped, the feds closed in, Javier was arrested, pled guilty, and was sentenced to 11 years in federal prison. Now, he tells the full story of going from cop to DEA undercover officer to federal inmate, what really happened behind the scenes, how he survived prison as a former police officer, and how he rebuilt his life after getting out.

Carlee Collins grew up in Pennsylvania with a mother who was in the game and a father who worked hard to provide. By 11 years old, he was using drugs and running the streets. At 16, he caught a murder case and was sentenced to life in Pennsylvania state prison. He would spend the next 30 years behind bars, where he completely transformed his life.

Jaida Diana Scaife grew up in California with an absent father and a mother struggling with addiction. She turned to drugs and the streets at a young age, fell into toxic relationships that pulled her deeper into that world, and eventually found herself in Nevada dealing drugs and working as an escort. After catching a drug case in North Dakota that led to a federal investigation, Jaida went on the run from the feds for an entire year before she and her boyfriend were finally caught. She was sentenced to 6 years in federal prison.

Jon Buehler spent 32 years with the Modesto Police Department, including more than 20 years as a homicide detective investigating murders and some of the most disturbing cases of his career. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, Jon takes us inside the cases the public never heard about — what he saw at crime scenes, how detectives actually build a murder case, the details that never made the news or came out in court, and what more than two decades of investigating homicide does to the person behind the badge. He also shares his firsthand experience working the Scott Peterson case, one of the most widely followed murder investigations and trials in American history.
