In this episode of FBI Retired Case File Review, Scott reviews his efforts to obtain a confession from convicted murderer and kidnapper Franklin Delano Floyd for the murder of six-year-old Michael Hughes and Suzanne Sevakis.

Scott Lobb began his federal law enforcement career with the U.S. Border Patrol as a Deportation Officer with the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) and later as a special agent assigned as a task force officer to a Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF). His first Bureau assignments were to Little Rock, Arkansas and to the Phoenix Field Office, Tucson Resident Agency and where he served on the JTTF and also worked on a drug squad, before being transferred to the Oklahoma City Field Office where he briefly worked drug investigations before moving into the Crimes Against Children Coordinator position.
In addition to the Michael Hughes kidnapping investigation, Scott Lobb traveled extensively overseas to include Kenya and Peru to investigate US Citizens who were engaged in unlawful sexual activity with minors.
Later in his Bureau career, Scott, a pilot, transferred to the surveillance squad and served as the division’s aviation coordinator for the two years prior to his retirement.
