Michelle Sigona is a true, extraordinary crime fighter and Emmy Award winning producer. Over her career, Michelle has covered hundreds of breaking and historical news stories such as the tragedies of September 11th, the anthrax attacks on our nation, the D.C. region sniper murders, high profile prison escapes, national missing children and adult cases to include the Stacy Peterson and Caylee Anthony cases, and the international search to find missing toddler Madeleine McCann. Michelle is not only an advocate for victims, but she works hard day and night to help keep America’s communities safe. Experts agree that Michelle is a trusted source for a variety of safety related topics, including identity theft, Internet safety, child safety and domestic violence issues.

Crime is not the only thing Michelle battles. For more than a decade now, Michelle has served her community as a volunteer firefighter — fighting fires and cutting people out of serious accidents. She has also devoted many hours to keeping children drug-free as a guest speaker for the D.A.R.E. program in her community, along with serving as a Keynote and Master of Ceremonies for many high profile companies, non-profit organizations and organizations dedicated to helping victims.

Michelle understands that devotion is the key to success, as she worked seven days a week, and often around the clock to achieve her dreams. Her journey began many years ago as an intern for the prime-time network TV show, “America’s Most Wanted.” From the moment she stepped in the door, Michelle knew that one day she would be a national on-air correspondent making a difference in the lives of victims. After her internship, things really started gearing up. She was not only offered a full-time position with AMW, but also a second position in the same building with the local FOX affiliate in Washington, D.C. Michelle couldn’t turn down one or the other, so she did both, along with attending college courses full time, living in her sorority house, and volunteering any extra overnight hours at her fire department. As Michelle worked feverishly through both jobs at AMW and WTTG — on very little sleep — she made it her goal to learn every position in both news departments to include the assignment desk, field producing, writing for shows, segment producing and traveling the country to work with victims of crime. WTTG’s Vice President of News Operations at the time, worked closely with Michelle to help “get her feet wet” in the business, and to help guide her on-camera career. 

It wasn’t long before Michelle was on the air in Washington, D.C. where she reported as the daily traffic-breaking news reporter for the morning show from the sky in the helicopter, and for the noon show, Michelle would plant both feet on the ground to do general assignment stories. Along with these opportunities, Michelle also had a few franchises of her own airing in the 5 p.m. and 10 p.m. shows to include her own Firefighting series, Commuting series, and in 2005, she was chosen to do in-depth feature reporting behind the scenes with the Washington Redskins — a series which featured players, coaches, and personalities associated with the NFL.  Michelle excelled in all of these positions, along with finishing up her classes at the University of Maryland where she graduated with a B.A. in Communications.  She also completed many fire training courses through the Maryland Fire and Rescue Institute to include Firefighter I & II, Hazardous Material Operations, Aerial Operations, Pump Operator, Emergency Vehicle Operations and First Responder to name a few. In March 2006, Michelle met one of her life-long goals of becoming a National on-air Correspondent for America’s Most Wanted where she worked in front of the camera to solve high profile cases for many years.

Michelle traveled around the world to track down fugitives and find missing people during the week and every Saturday night she ran the prime-time 1-800-CRIME-TV hotline.  She managed a staff of 25 and made important decisions like when to move on a lead to track down a dangerous fugitive.  It was her responsibility to work hand-in-hand with investigators across the globe to increase captures.  Michelle dedication to this role and setting the bar tremendously high helped to propel the AMW hotline to new and exciting levels.  Michelle continues to help law enforcement and victims through her work producing cases with “America’s Most Wanted” and you can always catch her live reports on national programs like: TODAY show, MSNBC, Inside Edition and HLN.

Crime fighting is what she loves to do, and making a true difference in the lives of victims is a priority.

Michelle credits her success to the good Lord who has answered many prayers, and guided her down the right paths in life. She also credits her extremely supportive family, especially her amazing mom, grandmothers and Aunt Flossie.
