Jean O'Connor served in the FBI for 21 years. Assigned to the Washington Field Office (WFO), she worked undercover specializing in drug diversion cases, investigated complex narcotics trafficking cases, and was to the Extraterritorial Terrorism Squad with deployments around the world. Jean was also a member of the WFO Evidence Response Team (ERT) and was named Senior Team Leader in 2006. Following the 9-11 attacks, Jean was a first responder at the US Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, in charge of evidence and victim remains recovery. She led forensic teams to process attacks against the US Embassy in Yemen, Turkey, and US Embassy personnel in Beirut, Lebanon. Stateside, Jean has led teams to process numerous "Lone Offender" shooting scenes including the 2009 Holocaust Museum shooting, two separate shooting attacks targeting the US Pentagon, the 2012 White House shooting, and the Washington Navy Yard attack in 2013.
