Trombitas

ALLIANCE — For nearly 29 years, FBI agent Harry Trombitas worked on some of America’s most notorious criminal cases.

An Alliance native, Trombitas now shares his expertise as an investigator in his role as host of the gripping true crime podcast Off the Record: An FBI Agent’s Perspective and his stories of tracking serial killers like Thomas Lee Dillon to taking down organized crime figures to working on almost 1,000 bank robberies in his career as the author of The Dark Places Series.

Trombitas will visit Rodman Public Library to discuss his career on Saturday, July 11 at 10:30 a.m. Registration is required to attend the event.

“I’m truly looking forward to coming back to Alliance and having the opportunity to share my stories with anyone interested,” said Trombitas.

Trombitas’ four-book Dark Places Series brings readers behind the scenes of his most unforgettable cases. Each book offers a riveting, first-hand account of investigations that brought justice to victims and held criminals accountable. The books reveal the dedication, strategy, and heart behind solving complex crimes.

The books include My Life as an FBI Agent: The Thomas Lee Dillon Case (Book 1); My Life as an FBI Agent: Murders, Motors, The Mob, and The Money (Book 2); My Life as an FBI Agent: Murder, Betrayal, and the Tragedy of Officer Bryan Hurst (Book 3); and My Life as an FBI Agent: Final Cases, Lasting Impact (Book 4).

Throughout the books, Trombitas gives an inside view of what it was like to work several of the cases that defined his stellar career, including the I-270 shooting investigation, the abduction of 3-year-old Ashley Taggart, the still unanswered mystery of Erica Baker, and several others.

Trombitas will not have books for sale. Those wishing to have a book signed should order them online through Barnes & Noble, Amazon, or Walmart and bring them to the library on the day of his talk.
