Buckle up. This first story is awful.\\xa0
\\n
\\nDaniel Holtzclaw had been an officer with the Oklahoma City Police Department for a few years when a woman came forward with an accusation. Her name was Jannie Ligons. She told officers that she\\u2019d been stopped by a police officer late at night, as she was coming home from bingo. He\\u2019d sexually assaulted her. Jannie was traumatized, but she remembered enough details to give detectives key information. They zeroed in on Daniel Holtzclaw. But as they dug into his past, they grew increasingly disturbed. It appeared Daniel had a pattern of targeting vulnerable black women, and in at least one case, a vulnerable black girl. Jannie Ligons\\u2019 bravery got this investigation moving forward, but she wasn\\u2019t the first woman to alert police to Daniel\\u2019s modus operandi. She was just the first to be taken seriously.
\\n
\\nThen Brandi tells us the story of Richard Mason, a multi-millionaire who appeared to have it all. He had three children. He\\u2019d co-founded a successful business. But his health was failing him. Finally, when he was in his mid-50s, doctors gave him upsetting news. He had cystic fibrosis. That part wasn\\u2019t a complete surprise. Cystic fibrosis ran in his family. But what did surprise him was the revelation that he was most likely infertile, and always had been. Richard was stunned. If he was infertile, how had he fathered three children?\\xa0

\\nAnd now for a note about our process. For each episode, Kristin reads a bunch of articles, then spits them back out in her very limited vocabulary. Brandi copies and pastes from the best sources on the web. And sometimes Wikipedia. (No shade, Wikipedia. We love you.) We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the real experts who covered these cases.
