Whilst watching one of my favorite segments, Louis Bourgeois & Jean-Marie Gagnon, something caught my eye. I recognized one of the police officials interviewed in one of my other all-time favorite segments, Salvatore Caruana. Looks like the same U.S. Marshal was interviewed in both segments: Arthur D. Roderick, Jr.

I realized I didn't really know exactly what the U.S. Marshal was so I googled it.
Clicking through the wikipedia page I saw this picture: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Federal_Witness_Protection_Program#/media/File:A_protected_witness_guarded_by_U.S._Marshals.jpg

aaaand I swear it was the first thing I clicked on, and I swear it was him. What do you think? is it him on the right?

Also, any other instances of the same law enforcement officials interviewed on multiple segments?

This photo is staged as stated in the description, so I think they would be using actors rather than actual Marshals, most active agents in the field would likely want to keep their identity a secret. As an Inspector I am also thinking he wasn't a field agent out protecting people & catching bad guys anyway.

The same spokesperson for the Oklahoma State Police shows up in a few segments. There is also some police officer nterviewed in the Natasha Jennings segment who is also iinterviewed in (I think) the Tim McClure segment. And the woman FBi agent interviewed in the Oba Chandler segment is also interviewed in a later segment but I can't remember which one. I believe the later segment happened in Minnesota but not sure.

Paul Renfrow was on UM four separate times. I decided to make him my avatar. :lol:

What was crazy about that one is that he was on the show a full decade after his first appearance. I mean, the entire feel of the series had changed by the time he was interviewed for the Jennings segment. I always thought that was cool.


Also for what it's worth, bip, I don't see anything anywhere stating that your photo is staged myself and I do think the dude on the right strongly favors the interviewee.

ETA: Ah, now I see it. I see no reason why actors would be used for such a photo, though. And to use an alternate meaning, the group could be 'staged' to move to another location.

Yeah...the FBI Special Agent out of San Jose, William E. Smith, was interviewed in both the C.W. Roddy and Kevin Poulsen segments in Season 3. (Episodes #2 and #4)

In the latter, he is referred to as an "FBI Supervisory Special Agent."
