Episode 226: Rod Swanson – Las Vegas Mass Shooting, Recovery Assistance

FBI Retired Case File Review

Retired agent Roland "Rod" Swanson reviews how, although retired, he used his FBI experience and training to assist FBI Victim Services personnel with the recovery, identification, and return of personal items left behind by victims of the Las Vegas mass shooting. On October 1, 2017, in what was the largest mass shooting incident in US history, 58 concert goers were killed, an additional 422 people were shot (two who died later), and more than 800 people were injured at the Route 91 Harvest Festival in Las Vegas, NV. Rod shares his initial frustration when he realized that his retirement status meant that after years of preparation he could not participate in the investigation of this major crisis event. Rod served in the FBI for 20 years.
