Description

Eric Immesberger posed as a hit man in undercover operations to gather evidence against people attempting to hire one. He is a former agent for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives who spent 21 years with the ATF investigating violent crime, including firearms trafficking, organized criminal crews, and murder-for-hire plots.

Movies and TV often portray murder for hire as a clean, professional transaction. In reality, it's rare, emotionally driven, and far easier to unravel than people expect. During  Immesberger's undercover work, what he encountered wasn't criminal precision, but panic, unrealistic expectations, and mistakes that often created evidence almost immediately — the very things that allow law enforcement to intervene early and stop violence before anyone is killed.

Immesberger retired in 2019.
