El Chapo & Cold Case Killer Andre Neverson and Betrayal by His Own Agency |Cop Town Podcast Ep. 8

Joe and Jose sit down with Robert Ledogar, a 30+ year veteran of the military and federal law enforcement, including roughly 25 years as a Deputy and Supervisory Deputy U.S. Marshal with the United States Marshals Service.

Robert takes us inside two of the most high-profile cases of his career: his role in the historic capture and extradition of El Chapo, and the cold-case break that led to the arrest of double-murder fugitive Andre Nevison after more than a decade on the run.

But the conversation doesn't stop at the glory days. Robert opens up about what happened after he stood up for a subordinate who filed a workplace harassment and discrimination complaint — and how that decision triggered years of retaliatory Internal Affairs investigations, a forced removal just 70 days before his retirement, and a grueling legal battle to protect his reputation and his pension.

This is a raw, honest conversation about loyalty, leadership, institutional betrayal, and what it really costs to do the right thing in federal law enforcement.
