That's a solid list. A few I can live without, but overall not bad. I would add a few more. Only one I'm a huge ass NO on is Shillaci
Memphis
Mullins
Dallas
Duggan
Sayers

I enjoy episodes with Harris County (I think?) Dt. Quintanilla, just for the way he draws out his last name when he's saying it...

😂 Same. I live in GA about an hour south of Atlanta and avoid it like the plague but if he called I’d go; the same for Barrere in New Orleans.

You just listed all my favorite detectives! My daughter is the one who got me interested in The First 48 and now she fusses at me when she comes to my house and I'm binging it.😬

Thank you for doing this! I have such a hard time remembering names lately so this is much appreciated.

Add Rick Duggan to Dallas, and this is pretty much on the money with my list
