Lake Forest, Ill – Former FBI agent and author Candice DeLong, will speak at Lake Forest College on Wednesday, March 27 in honor of Women’s History Month. DeLong will speak at 8 p.m. in Lily Reid Holt Chapel, located at the intersection of College and Sheridan roads in Lake Forest. The event is free and open to the public. For more information, please call 847-735-6010. Until her retirement in July 2000, Agent DeLong was a field profiler for the FBI, one of the most fascinating and challenging branches of the Bureau. She has been on the front lines of some of the FBI’s most gripping cases including being chosen as one of three agents to carry out the manhunt for the Unabomber, Ted Kaczynski. She has tailed terrorists, gone undercover as a gangster’s moll, and posed as a madam for a call-girl ring. DeLong will share insight into her unusual career path and the obstacles and challenges she has faced along the way. Her recent book Special Agent: My Life on the Front Lines as a Woman in the FBI offers a remarkable account of the rewards and dangers of being a field profiler and woman, in the world’s most powerful law enforcement agency. DeLong has served as liaison to the FBI’s world famous Behavioral Science Unit in Quantico and has lectured widely on such issues as protecting women and children and preventing sexual abuse. Lake Forest College is a private liberal arts institution located 30 miles north of downtown Chicago. The College has 1,250 students representing 44 states and 41 other countries.
