Paranormal enthusiasts are excited for the upcoming A&E Real Life series Paranormal Cops. Here's a first look at the investigators that make up the Chicago Paranormal Detectives.
Ron Fabiani - Investigator
Ron is known as 'Fabs,' the powerhouse of the team. He is often seen with a cigar dangling from his lips. He is fluent in Chicago lingo. Fabs believes that if something happens to defy logic, something else may be taking place. Ron has been a police officer in the Chicagoland area since 1987.
Tom Froelich - Investigator
Tom has been in law enforcement in Chicagoland since 1990. Throughout his police career, Tom has been assigned within his agency as a patrol and tactical officer. He has also taught children DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) and GREAT (Gang Resistance Education). In addition, Tom has worked as a Crime Prevention Officer helping residents reduce the opportunity for crime to occur. Tom is currently assigned as a Criminal Investigator.
Austin Weinstock - Investigator
Austin has been in Law Enforcement since 2005. To date, Austin's duties have included uniformed patrol, tactical patrol assignments, continuing education for children and other special assignments relative to resistance of gang crimes and narcotics. Austin's interest in law enforcement began as he watched his father and brother (also experienced police officers) as they worked criminal and civil cases with "Weinstock Investigations," a family owned and operated business. This is where Austin learned the reliable, professional, objective and "call it like you see it" approach to investigations. Austin feels every claim and statement demands evidence.
Pete Schlelich - Investigator
Pete is the skeptic of the group. He is a blunt and "prove it to me" kind of guy. You always know exactly where you stand with Pete. It's difficult to get him worked up. Pete has been in law enforcement since 2003. He works within the patrol division and has been trained as an evidence technician with experience in forensics for the most accurate processing of crime scenes.
Moriah Rhame - Medium
Moriah is the medium of the group and the only female team member. She is a kidder and knows how to hang with the boys. She is a dedicated member of the team and she is able to give insight into paranormal activity that might not otherwise be known. Moriah is not your average medium and is a Desert Shield/Operation Desert Storm combat veteran who served with the 13th Evacuation Hospital, 32nd Medical Brigade under 7th Corps, located 40 kilometers from the border of Kuwait in Saudi Arabia.
Brian Jones - Investigative Assistant
Brian is the calm and reserved crew member who throws great one-liners out of nowhere. He is very anxious to see or feel the paranormal, but is not sure what he will do when it happens. Brian became involved with the Chicago Paranormal Detectives through his friendship with fellow CPD investigator Tom Froelich.
Scot Ziarko - Investigative Assistant
Scot is the team's video technical member. He is laid back and can be a bit of a devil's advocate, but wants to have a life changing paranormal experience. Scot has been a professional videographer and editor for 14 years.
