Summary

The fifteenth episode of "The Maps," delves into the troubling undercurrents of law enforcement practices in the area affected by the Speed Freak Killers. Hosts Shane and Wendy explore a recurring theme that emerged during their research - a pattern of issues within law enforcement, allegations of misconduct, and the strained relationships between law enforcement and the families of victims.

This episode addresses the numerous stories and allegations about shady practices within law enforcement agencies in the region. Shane and Wendy discuss specific instances where families felt their concerns were ignored or dismissed, and the impact this had on their pursuit of justice and closure.

The hosts also investigate reports of families feeling targeted or marginalized for voicing their complaints or raising concerns about the handling of the cases. Through interviews with affected families, former law enforcement officers, and experts in criminal justice, "Beneath the Badge" sheds light on the complexities and challenges of policing in the context of high-profile serial killer investigations.

Listeners are invited to a thought-provoking discussion that questions the integrity and effectiveness of law enforcement in handling such sensitive cases. "Beneath the Badge: Voices Silenced and Heard" is not just a critique but a call for understanding and improvement in the relationship between law enforcement and the communities they serve.
