Episode 6, called "Drugs, Sex and Secrets," takes listeners into the dark underbelly of the Upper Peninsula, and a trooper's ties to it. Locals help examine the culture of policing in this remote location, along with the drugs, sex work and alleged police misconduct swirling around residents tied to the Derrick Henagan case.
Reporter and host John Wisely also uncovers a startling decision Michigan State Police made related to Trooper David Moeggenborg.
"Secrets" is the story of Henagan, a downstate man who moves to Michigan’s remote Upper Peninsula in the winter of 2007-08, then vanishes. Follow along as Wisely, a veteran Free Press journalist, investigates Henagan's case following a news tip on a triple murder. Wisely's reporting uncovers serious concerns about the police — especially Moeggenborg.
