Every week we start our episode with a compelling moment from a guest's interview that speaks to the case.

But today, we've decided to start with a story featured in The New York Times.

Let's go back, at least in your mind, to the 1970s.

And I'm going to talk about a woman whose name was Martha.

She was in her early 30s, she was divorced, she dressed professionally, which was typically a jacket and a skirt.

So one day she walks into a Chicago police station, she goes straight to the desk of the sergeant who's on duty and she said she has a very serious concern.

You see, Martha herself had been a sexual assault survivor, but that wasn't why she was there, at least not about her own case.

At the time she was volunteering at a crisis hotline for teens, and with that she had repeatedly encountered victims of sexual assault.

From the street, from their own homes, really in any scenario you could imagine.

It was almost like an epidemic was occurring, but that no one was talking about.

Just to give all of you an idea what it was like, at the time one day a colleague actually showed her a greeting card.

And there was this quote-unquote joke that was printed on it.

On the front it said, help stop rape.

And when you turn the inside of this joke card open, the two words it said was, say yes.

And she's telling the sergeant the desk about this and saying, listen, predators are getting away with herding or young people hurting so many people overall.

And when she told the sergeant why predators, in her mind at least, were getting away with committing these sexual assaults, the sergeant screamed at her.

That she had no business getting involved in this. What she was talking was crazy. That she was wasting his time.

And then she was thrown out.

I just got wine burger, investigative journalist and former deputy sheriff.

I'm Anna Sige Nikolasi, former New York City homicide prosecutor and host of investigation discoveries, true conviction.

And this is an out of me of murder.

For today's case we interviewed Forest Thompson, but Dynah County prosecutor in the state of Ohio.
