MAJOR MISSTEPS! Ret FBI Robin Dreeke Breaks Down How Police Could Have Caught The Long Island Serial Killer Sooner
What happens when the person responsible for justice might be the one obstructing it?
In this episode, Tony and Robin Dreeke dig into the alleged corruption surrounding former police chief James Burke and how his leadership may have actively steered investigators away from digging too deep into the Rex Heuermann case. Instead of outright suppression, was Burke just piling on other “righteous work” to keep the department too busy to notice what was hiding in plain sight? They explore how social bias against sex workers, systemic neglect, and fear-fueled silence in the trafficking world creates the perfect storm for predators to thrive. And even with good cops wanting to do the right thing, how can they make any progress when they're outnumbered, under-resourced, and told to move fast or move on?
Could better protection and long-term trust-building with sex trafficking victims be the missing key to taking down entire criminal networks?
