You know when a guy LOVES his job when he can recall every day of his 38 year career with a smile. The stories are gold. Write a memoir detective. Thank you 🙏
What a brilliant interview! This man’s enthusiasm, joy and knowledge shines off the screen. A lovely human who has kept his empathy and passion after all these years. Fantastic 💙
I just lost my bf who was a retired homicide detective. The children incidents really weighed heavy on him. He managed to attend just about every funeral they had. God rest his soul 🙏
Yall need to back tf up off of Mark! Especially over something so small. Get over it. Its a frigging mic . You dont pay for the content, and its ONE interview. THANK YOU MARK for still sharing this interview with all of us. Most of us appreciate you and your work no matter what 🤍
@@Firebird-dd3by this retired cop has definitely perjured himself many many times, and has lied on police reports many many times, and has ruined many many lives, but other than that you are right. he is top notch.
Law enforcement is more than a job. It’s a lifestyle. As I typed that he said that. My father was career law enforcement. He died of dementia 5 years ago. He forgot everything including myself - his daughter who was named after him. He never forgot he was law enforcement.
I was a cop for 1 year 1 months 6 days 14 hours and 42 minutes for the city of Memphis until my squad car was t-boned by a drunk driver causing me to get a Traumatic Brain injury, cracked my skull,and I was in a coma for approximately 2 weeks, and I had a brain bleed. But other officers here in Memphis try to pretend this job isn’t a life style. But it is. It changes the way you think, move,in public and the way you carry yourself. I gotta retire because my brain / cognitive reasoning doesn’t work good anymore but I’m gonna miss every second of it.
What a character-a contagious smile. Thanks for your story David. I saw you misting up when you realised you hadn't dedicated enough time to your kids. It's never too late to put them at the top of your list.
I love all these stories that we would not have known otherwise. It’s documented life stories that their families will have forever to look back on. Great interviews Mark.
I wish we all loved our job as much as this guy. I feel like I am surrounded by negative energy and people who are bitter, are burnt out or working three jobs and are exhausted because they can't make ends meet. So much has changed, but I feel like the majority of people are not happy at their work place, but feel stuck or trapped for a variety of reasons. As a teacher of 24 years I understand. I was so passionate for probably the first 20 years but its starting to take its toll with all the politics involved, staff drama, low pay even though there is inflation and significant increase of families and children from ALL socio economic backgrounds dealing with trauma, depression, the parents as well and are burnt out from their work and then this all affects the child and their abilities in the classroom, and we are understaff in the classroom and are not trained to be therapists, social workers, psychologists but are expected to wear that hat more than being a teacher most of the time.
Very interesting. Love the detective stories. They sacrifice so much for the victims and families. The thought occurred to me that you might find old journalists good for an interview.
Great episode! Det. MacNeil was a great guest, who brought a lot of smiles, with his stories…and some somber moments, as well. Very glad he has found the “what’s next” after retiring from the force.
As a MA native, and 15 year (so far) Boston Marathon volunteer I remember 4/15/13. Very well. I remember the man hunt as well. One thing I will NEVER forget is the steady stream of runners waiting in line to give blood in the days following. We all waited in silence. I remember the first person to check in with me right after the event because she knew I was somewhere on that course. She worked at MA general so at the time. That was a very bad day for everyone.
Being so close to Boston must have been great. I listened to the police scanners all night the night they were zeroing in on the BB's . Was surreal hearing it all. One Police was entering a house that had the front door open and the commander said " get in and out quick " and the adorable police officer said ' Hey , that is why they call me "in and out quick ______ " ( fill in his last name ) " Fascinating.
Mark your doing great work! Thank you for all you do! Beautiful, thoughtul and meaningful! It's really helped me understand complex themes in my own life and family at a crucial time! Much love 💜💙💚💛🧡❤
Great interview with a man who really impressed me with his dedication, knowledge, and passion for his work. Detective MacNeil, thank you for all you've done to make a difference in the many lives you've touched throughout your long carrier. We need men like you today more than ever. I'm glad you're continuing your career involving forensics and cold cases because your knowledge is invaluable. And also because it's obvious how important it is for you to stay active in investigative work. I wish you many more years of fruitful work. People like you give me hope for humans and society .
Great interview Mark. Really enjoyed his story. He really cracked me up witth the girl in the massage palor. Lol I could imagine how that was lol Thank you Mark and thank you to this great guy.
At 52:37, I though you'd flipped us all off. Double take to the rescue. It takes a special soul to answer the call to join LE. Agreed, your (& my hubby's) generation of cops is hands down the very best. Enjoy your retirement, sir, you've more than earned it. ♥
Im from MA so I just had to hear his story. The BMB was a story that captivated this area for weeks! I just wish the sound quality was better☹️However the weight loss is quite impressive. Hire me Im ready!!!
Love these interviews, to find a job that is your passion like that! Im so envious!! Would love to have been part of that team! Enjoy retirement, take it easy 😊❤
He absolutely should be teaching some kind of his knowledge somewhere. And be paid very well 38 Years of experience. Pass on that knowledge Dont let it be lost. We need more good cops.
Wow... was NOT expecting the last story about the Vidocq Society... WOW ... OMG... Chris McMullen from PA is in it too ? He helped find out that Publicker Jane Doe was NOT a Missing Person case I had followed closely in MA.
I want this guy to do a cold case on Ayla Reynolds. The family deserves closure and I don't know what happened to the investigation but I suspect something is up. Great interview!
This is a very interesting interview. I also find it interesting that people who get into law enforcement are control freaks. This guy has been one since he was a child. I think that it is good that there are people who want to be a cop, because we need cops. I will say, however, that I can not be friends with or hang out with adults who are such control freaks that they are driven to spend their days making grown ups follow the rules. I simply cannot imagine what it is like to be the adult version of the hall monitor we all had in the fifth grade who made you show your hall pass as a power Trip anytime they saw you in the hall during class time. Let's face it, we all hated that kid and none of us actually like cops, unless we are one, are married to one, or have a parent that is a cop.
Thank you Mr. MacNeil for what you are doing. I mean no disrespect but I have said for a long time that if your loved one is murdered and your detective is not making you feel hopeful then immediately hire a private detective especially one with a police background. Again no disrespect but not all detectives are provided the same training & instruction. I personally know of two murders that were handled so horribly I would have said the perp could have been the detective it was so obviously botched. One of them was an 18 year old boy. His case was closed by the detective as an accident despite the brain injury being described as an injury of being hit with a baseball bat several tines or falling from a 3 story building . The boy was found on the sidewalk. His mother wouldn't let it rest. She roamed the streets asking gang members, homeless anyone who would talk to her if they had heard anyone talking about his death. After months of doing this someone finally said yes a very bad guy has been bragging about how dangerous he was and told the story of how he hit his ex girlfriend's brother in the head with a brick ane ended him and how he saw the boy walking and he hid behind a wall and as he walked by hit him in the back of his head. The guy had been fighting with his sister and was hitting her and the boy stood up for his sister and stopped it. It was revenge for getting involved in his relationship and encouraging his sister to leave him. The guy was arrested and got life. His mother was consumed by her son's death. She died from cancer less than 2 years after solving his case. What you're doing is so important. Thank you for not retiring fully and for letting the fire in you continue to burn. We need you and more like you. I back the Blue Line. My comment is in no way a dig at detectives or cops. I just feel like we need a better system of training detectives so that every cop learning gets the chance to learn from the best like you . Thank you.
Law enforcement is a lost art. Granted there are some in it to make a real difference, some are in in for the money and the pension. I pray for those with the passion and thank you.
Thank you for this. You know it’s really pathetic that this guy has already been monetized by RUclips, puts these videos up they get hundreds of thousands of views in the first couple hours, and yet still has to sit here trying to make money off a referral code.

My condolences
I appreciate what you are doing to help society, Mark. Thank God for people like you.
Loved the interview Mark… when he said he was going to “wrap it up” I said to myself “NO!” I could listen to him all day.
Talked for like another 20 minutes after he said that lol

Amazing dedication in this man. Not seen often today. Great video.
Beautiful person. We need more people like him, doing good in this world. Thank you for your service.
Very nice interview, no ego, no BS and loves his children and Mother. Refreshing.
"If you don't have Passion, you don't have Dedication..." Brilliant!
That’s a good quote but it’s not what he said
@@GTinHisBagg Just the same, it's the ethic I appreciated.
@@GTinHisBaggyour a loser hush
Hey Mahk, wicked good interview. David is an awesome human being, so positive and dedicated to doing good. He's wicked pissah as we say in Boston.
Wicked pissah! He’s not a googan
Such an uplifting, heartwarming interview! I love you, Detective MacNeill ♥️
I love all these stories that we would not have known otherwise. It’s documented life stories that their families will have forever to look back on. Great interviews Mark.
David MacNeil we need a lot more like you in this world. Best of luck in your new business. Great interview.
My mother was a Detective for 14 yrs before she died of cancer. It's definitely not for everybody or the weak. It's a lifestyle.
Great video and as career guidance counsellor would love to show it to my students. Thanks Mark
The audio may be off but you can still hear him clearly.. calm down..
Great english
@@Jewjitsu_ thanks.. professor..
@@maureent8653 you edited your initial response lol

Cheers 🍻 to that and I hear u loud and clear ♥️ 🙏
The passion is still there and it can be heard in his voice. Impressive.
I started to PPD in 1989, stayed for 30 years loved every minute of it.
One of the best interviews 👌🏼
What a good interview, you can tell he was a good cop 😊
What a nice man. Regards from England 😊

There are few roles that should be respected as much as law enforcement. Thank you.
I have no idea who he is but the police ones are always great. Looking forward to watching this one
Agreed, my ex husband was prior military than police, then another branch. Looking forward to hear this man’s reality…
I loved this talk. Thank you, Mark.

How any cop or detective can still smile after being immersed in the evils of society for years, is amazing. A stellar human.
