It’s the end of an era at NC Wanted. Our longtime law enforcement expert, Melanie Thomas, has moved on to bigger and brighter things. We will miss her, and we wish her well.

She completed an illustrious career in law enforcement. Her tenure with the SBI gave her unparalleled credibility with the law enforcement agencies we deal with on a daily basis. She provided the technical expertise that shaped our NC Wanted features, and helped us navigate the complicated line between media and law enforcement. It’s a delicate relationship that she helped create.

Melanie helped us see these unsolved cases from an investigator’s perspective, and guided us on how to translate that to television. She will be gone from NC Wanted, but the good work she did for us will remain. Thanks Mel.
