Former Gymnastics Coach Sentenced to 90 Years in Federal Prison for Production Of Child Sexual Abuse Materials.
"Sean Gardner committed horrific and unforgivable acts, manipulating and abusing children while betraying the profound trust their families placed in him. Today marks a decisive moment: justice has been delivered. His victims can take solace in knowing he will never again have the opportunity to harm another child. When any child is exploited, the FBI—working alongside our law enforcement partners—will marshal every resource, pursue every lead, and relentlessly ensure that predators are identified, stopped, and held fully accountable."
Special Agent in Charge Robert A. Eikhoff of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

ANOTHER Most Wanted Fraudster addition – our second of this week – as this @FBI hunts down alleged fraudsters all over the world led by @POTUS, @VP and @WHFraudTF with our DOJ partners @AGToddBlanche.
6 subjects arrested so far, successfully brought back from four different continents, on the run for over 4,000 days combined and allegedly responsible for over $2 billion in fraud.
Newest subject: MARY CAROLE MCDONNELL, wanted for her alleged involvement in a fraud scheme in Los Angeles and Orange Counties in California.
Beginning in approximately July of 2017, and continuing to May of 2018, McDonnell is alleged to have devised and participated in a scheme to fraudulently obtain money, funds, assets, and property owned by Banc of California. McDonnell allegedly and fraudulently obtained a total of approximately $14.7 million from the bank to which she knew she was not entitled and has not paid back. She also allegedly defrauded additional financial institutions in a similar fashion, with an estimated loss of over $15 million.
A federal arrest warrant was issued for McDonnell in December 2018 charging her with Bank Fraud and Aggravated Identity Theft – and she has been on the run since. It is believed McDonnell is currently in Dubai.
The FBI is offering a reward of up to $150,000 for the arrest and conviction of Mary Carole McDonnell. If you have any information, call 1-800-CALL-FBI or visit tips.fbi.gov. @FBILosAngeles
“Cyber Attacks Increase in Mississippi”
Our cyber enabled way of life is under a growing threat – and today, that danger can no longer be ignored. Ransomware groups are more destructive, demand higher payouts and target vital systems. Here in Mississippi, our critical infrastructure, business communities and citizens face an unprecedented surge in cyberattacks. Now is the time to take action to protect Mississippi networks and devices.

SAC Eikhoff joined the Mississippi Attorney General's Office, the USAOs of the Northern and Southern Districts of Mississippi at a press conference announcing the launch of Joint Task Force Vigilance, a first-of-its-kind partnership to surge personnel and resources to fight fraud, protect taxpayers, and restore law and order in Mississippi.
The Mississippi Attorney General’s Office was awarded over $2.5 million by the U.S. Department of Justice in July 2026 to establish Joint Task Force Vigilance. Funding will be used to hire and equip five experience prosecutors and a support and enforcement team to investigate and prosecute fraud, crimes by criminal aliens, human trafficking, and illicit drug activity.
Congratulations to Joshua Pinkard of the Leake County Sheriffs Office on graduating from FBI National Academy Session 299! The FBI National Academy brings together law enforcement leaders from across the nation to strengthen partnerships, exchange best practices, and enhance public safety. FBI Jackson is proud to recognize this outstanding achievement.
This FBI is bringing in the best and brightest, and making monumental changes across the board to ensure they receive the highest standards of training. To do this, the FBI has developed the Advanced Special Agent Training Program to recruit and train experienced federal law enforcement officers to become Special Agents.
As the Bureau continues to evolve, we will continue to uphold our mission and make sure our country is the safest it's ever been.
After inheriting a massive DNA processing backlog, this FBI made the changes necessary to deliver and bring the backlog to ZERO. We're not slowing down anytime soon.
The FBI sends our condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of Deputy Sheriff Terrian Bailey. Deputy Bailey served the Claiborne County Sheriff’s Department for six years.
Last week, SAC Eikhoff joined Brigadier General Jamie Hankins during several media interviews at Camp Shelby Military Installation, recently designated as a test and evaluation site by the Army Testing & Evaluation Command (ATEC). During the interviews, Eikhoff highlighted key outcomes from Magnolia Crucible, a two-day forum co-hosted by the Mississippi Army National Guard, FBI Jackson, and Mississippi State University. The event strengthened interagency coordination, expanded collaboration among federal and state partners, and deepened engagement with law enforcement leaders, senior military officials, critical infrastructure stakeholders, private industry, and academia.
This FBI is crushing narcotics networks and dismantling criminal enterprises across the country. As part of Summer Heat 2.0, our teams have seized nearly 10,000 kg of narcotics and 3,116 weapons, and made 5,097 arrests, and we’re not slowing down. On this International Overdose Awareness Day, we reaffirm our commitment to combat drug trafficking organizations and crush violent crime to restore safety in our communities.

FBI Special Agents in Charge Robert Eikhoff (Jackson) and Timothy O'Malley (Indianapolis) announce the capture of Gregory Henderson Jr., number 542 of the FBI's Ten Most Wanted Fugitives.
This outcome demonstrates the significant operational value of the FBI's Ten Most Wanted Fugitives program and the strategic use o public and media engagement. By amplifying Henderson's fugitive status, offering a substantial reward, and mobilizing the public to provide information, the FBI was able to generate the lead that helped bring a wanted fugitive into custody.

“We have the best crime record in recorded history. Think about this: 10,000 fewer rapes than the year before, and 1 million fewer assaults, robberies, burglaries, and thefts. Every single major crime category is at its lowest level in recorded history.”
