Eric Immesberger posed as a hitman in undercover operations to gather evidence against people attempting to hire one. He is a former agent for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives who spent 21 years with the ATF investigating violent crime, including firearms trafficking, organized criminal crews, and murder-for-hire plots.
