Open Secret

Some say he met them through his job. Some say he came to their houses, or offered them a ride home. According to dozens of women, Roger Golubski, a detective with the Kansas City, Kansas Police Department, raped, assaulted and stalked them. After decades of secrecy and fear, he was scheduled to face trial in Federal Court,charged with assault, rape and kidnapping. And accused of much more. But Golubski's trial never began.

On Corruption Uncovered, we share stories of the women, the police department and the community; and we grapple with the questions left in the wake of his death. How could someone prey on so many people without consequence? Who else knew? How, if at all, can people be made whole? And what happens now?
