The Infamous Ex-Chief

In this episode of The Infamous Ex-Chief, we shine a long-overdue spotlight on Shirley Bailey—the elected Lafayette Township fiscal officer who may be the most credible, loyal, and overlooked voice in the entire Bryon Macron investigation.

Bailey’s 31-minute BCI interview is packed with detail, firsthand insights, and chilling contradictions to the official narrative. She recalls unauthorized access to township systems, ar...

Probation and parole are sold to the public as second chances, but if you've ever been on them, you know better. 🚨 In this powerful interview, investigative host The Infamous Ex-Chief sits down with watchdog and writer Mike Walters, whose viral article "Probation and Parole is a Trap" pulled back the curtain on a system designed to fail.

What happens when the truth becomes inconvenient? The Cuyahoga County Prosecutor's Office waited five full weeks to respond to Ian McInnes' postconviction petition — and only filed their “opposition” the same day our first video aired. Coincidence? Not a chance.

In this episode, we expose the legal gymnastics used to keep decorated veterans like Ian McInnes and Anthony Holmes behind bars. We walk you through the ...

What if I told you the most important piece of evidence in a police trial—wasn’t just missing, but buried?

This is the bodycam footage Cuyahoga County prosecutors never wanted you—or a jury—to see. It shows a 50-minute, high-risk vehicle pursuit through Cleveland, handled by East Cleveland Officers Ian McGinnis and Anthony Holmes, by the book, without any backup, despite repeated calls for help.

Prosecutors told t...

🚨 Former Sergeant James Sanford wasn’t just a player in the Bryon Macron case — he was positioned to be a key figure. But after listening to this 52-minute BCI interview, you’ll wonder if he was clueless, calculated, or just covering tracks. In this episode, we walk through Sanford’s claims in real time — drone excuses, memory gaps, and enough small-town gossip to fuel a soap opera. 🕵️

As Medina County’s designated drone...

🚨 Welcome back, Tentacle Nation. 🚨
In this deep-dive, we confront the uncomfortable truths surrounding the investigation into Bryon Macron’s death. Former Medina County officials like Chief David Centner and Ranger David Swinehart tell their side — but their narratives unravel fast under real scrutiny.

From botched crime scenes to ignored forensic basics, this isn’t just incompetence — it's a masterclass in how ...

What happens when the lead investigator on a suspicious death case has zero qualifications, no plan, and only a flashlight and a gut feeling? Welcome to The Cartwright Conundrum—a deep dive into the interview that exposes just how little was ever really investigated.

Jim Cartwright—former Marine, patrol officer, and canine handler—sat down with BCI in 2020 and casually admitted the scene “made no sense.” No follow-ups. No ...

When a Medina County deputy throws away a knife during an active missing person investigation—and no one collects it, tests it, or even asks about it for three years—you don't call that “oversight.” You call it what it is: a cover-up hiding in plain sight.

This full episode dissects the bafflingly short 9-minute interview with Deputy Dan Kohler—who admits he tossed out a black folding knife from his cruiser during the...

What happens when key witnesses start remembering new details… years later?
This episode dives into the shifting recollections of Michael Costello, trustee, fireman, and key figure in the Bryon Macron case. 🕵️‍♂️ From his original 2016 Medina County Sheriff's interview to his 2019 BCI retelling, the story evolves — and not in subtle ways.

We'll break down contradictions, question the new "memories,"...

Lynda Bowers inserted herself into nearly every corner of the Bryon Macron case. But when BCI sat her down for a follow-up interview in 2018, the contradictions poured out like an open faucet. From claiming she never entered the office, to speculating about key forensic elements without having seen them—this trustee’s memory seems more... aspirational than factual 🧠.

When does “accountability” turn into political theater? 🎭 This deep-dive exposes the truth behind former Commander Larry McDonald’s 4-year sentence—a sentence more severe than some violent felonies in Ohio. Was it justice, or was it just a headline?

We break down every charge—Tampering with Records, Telecommunications Fraud, Obstruction—and compare it to what the law actually says. Spoiler: If this happened to anyone but ...

East Cleveland Detective Ian McInnes is now serving 30 months in prison—not for brutality, not for corruption, but for being politically inconvenient.

In this no-holds-barred breakdown, The Infamous Ex-Chief exposes how McInnes was sacrificed on the altar of public relations. Ten charges. Three arrests. Zero hospitalizations. A certified use-of-force expert confirmed his actions were within policy. But that didn’t matter t...

What if I told you the surveillance video Medina County never properly analyzed might be the key to understanding just how broken their official timeline really is? 📹

This isn’t the video that “solves” the Bryon Macron case — but it is the one that tears apart the fiction sold to the public as fact. From unverified timestamps to missing pedestrian footage, from blood stains ignored to SUV sightings never confirmed, we bre...

A chilling account from a mother and daughter on Bungalow Bay — just steps from where Bryon Macron’s SUV was found — reveals the sounds of a violent struggle in the early hours of December 16, 2016. Law enforcement never followed up. No knock. No interview. No call back. Just silence.

Three East Cleveland police officers were just sentenced to prison in what looks less like justice and more like a political sacrifice. 🚨 Judge Sherrie Miday—who happens to be married to Prosecutor Michael O'Malley’s communications director—presided over a case riddled with conflicts, withheld evidence, expert witness suppression, and burden-shifting rulings. The facts? Ignored. The law? Twisted. The damage? Catastrophic—not ...

The Lafayette Market surveillance video is the backbone of the Bryon Macron timeline—or so investigators claim. But what if that timeline is built on nothing but broken frames, motion-triggered clips, and vehicles that appear and disappear like ghosts?

The tragic death of Christion Olson has been buried beneath silence—but the autopsy speaks volumes. Olson’s body showed broken ribs, a shattered clavicle, a split liver, a punctured lung, over 1400ml of blood in his chest, and petechial hemorrhaging often linked to asphyxiation.

This wasn’t an overdose. This wasn’t a fall. This was violence—and no one is talking. Some so-called friends are even spreading disinformation, tr...
