This week on Mic’d In New Haven, it’s Tales From The Boom Room: Profiles of the NYPD’s Arson & Explosion/Bomb Squad — and my guest is retired Detective Bill Ryan, a veteran investigator whose work placed him at the center of some of New York City’s most volatile and politically charged cases.

One of the most infamous: the 1995 Freddy’s Fashion Mart Massacre — a firebombing fueled by tension, miscommunication, and escalating rhetoric that ended in a devastating act of mass murder.

In this episode, we break down the lead-up, the arson attack itself, the forensic puzzle the Arson & Explosion Squad faced, and the hard lessons New York learned in the aftermath.
