Speaker 1: Who would you call if the unthinkable happened? I just
Speaker 1: fail and started screaming if you lost someone you loved
Speaker 1: in the most horrific way about twenty two times the police, right,
Speaker 1: But what if the person you're supposed to go to
Speaker 1: for help is the one you're the most afraid of.
Speaker 1: This dude is the devil.
Speaker 2: He is a snake. He hurt you. I watched her
Speaker 2: walk out my door, walk up the street, and then
Speaker 2: the next morning they find her dead.
Speaker 1: I'm Niki Richardson, and this is the girlfriend's untouchable. This season,
Speaker 1: we're traveling to my hometown, Kansas City, Kansas, to explore
Speaker 1: how a murder case in the nineties took a group
Speaker 1: of women, including me, on a decade's long journey that
Speaker 1: exposed the deadly pattern of sexual abuse and sum just
Speaker 1: in the dark underworld of a corrupt police officer, Roger Gulupski.
Speaker 1: For years, the women of Kansas City, Kansas State silent,
Speaker 1: terrified of what might happen to them if they spoke out.
Speaker 2: He walks in and he catches Swoopski involved in a
Speaker 2: sexual compromising situation with a black female.
Speaker 1: This man has sexy assaulted so many black women of
Speaker 1: the community. Roger just being Roger. That's kind of like
Speaker 1: a boy's Olie boys.
Speaker 2: The whole time he's driving them to the cemetery, he's
Speaker 2: holding a gun to their head. There's a lot of
Speaker 2: people whose lives he ruined that we could have prevented
Speaker 2: by taking him out, removing him from misposition.
Speaker 1: As a police officer. This man seemed untouchable until the
Speaker 1: women of Kansas City found each other.
Speaker 2: This is unbelievable. For all of these years, I've always
Speaker 2: thought it was just me as individuals. We were terrified,
Speaker 2: but our sisterhood made us braver, determined to expose corruption,
Speaker 2: speak truth to power, and take Detective Glupski down. If
Speaker 2: it was your mom that got killed, what would you
Speaker 2: had have done? They said, we would have left it alone.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm not, y'all. The power is with the people.
Speaker 2: I told Roger Glupski, I said, you're gonna see my
Speaker 2: face to the day that you die.
