Retired agent Wayne Manis served more than 28 years with the FBI. In this episode of FBI Retired Case File Review, he reviews his investigation of “The Order,” a white supremacist terrorist group, also known as the Silent Brotherhood, that operated in the Pacific Northwest in the early to mid-1980s. The pursuit of these terrorists consumed five years of Wayne Manis’s career as he tracked their assassinations, armored car robberies, bombings and counterfeiting activities. The hunt came to an end when Wayne and other SWAT Agents surrounded the terrorist on a remote island and killed the leader in a fiery machine gun battle. At the time, it was the nation's largest domestic terrorism case prior to the Oklahoma City bombing. During Wayne’s FBI career, he spearheaded the FBI’s undercover program being the first agent to go undercover following WW ll. While working undercover, Wayne penetrated the violent factions of the “New Left” in Chicago, posed as a hit man in a mob related ‘murder for hire’ case and infiltrated the notorious criminal empire of the New Orleans Crime Family after receiving ‘the blessing’ from the family’s Godfather, Carlos Marcello. Wayne also served as a team leader of an elite FBI SWAT Team and was engaged in several deadly shootouts while serving in this capacity. With historical implications that still reverberates into present day events, his career and casework  are chronicled in his memoir, The Street Agent. Wayne Manis has been featured in several episodes of the T.V. series, FBI-The Untold Stories, Turning Point produced by ABC, Discovery Channel’s Angry America, and The FBI Files. He has been a news commentator for CNN and a speaker on Domestic Terrorism throughout the United States and Canada. Since his retirement, he is the owner and president of Manis Investigations, Inc., a Coeur d’Alene, Idaho-based company specializing in corporate security and executive protection. In this capacity he has provided security services to some of the largest corporations in America. You can visit his website to learn more about Wayne Manis.
