Summary

Even after former Suffolk County Police Chief, James Burke, was gone, the investigation into the Gilgo 4 murders and others was hampered by other members of the department. Host, Chris Mass, speaks with Gus Garcia-Roberts, author of "Jimmy The King", about his research into how and why members of SCPD and the District Attorney's office prevented the use of valuable leads and other evidence from being used to track down Rex Heuermann.
