On the latest episode of Law&Crime’s podcast Coptales & Cocktails, Sgt. Sean “Sticks” Larkin, formerly of the Tulsa Police Department’s Crime Gun Unit, and ICU Nurse Howard Doss sat down with former Los Angeles Sheriff Department (LASD) Homicide Detective Danny Smith to discuss the Gabby Petito case.
