I Think Not!
About this episode
Detective Sergeant Anthony Rykowski joins Ellyn and Joey for a discussion about Karen Read, corruption in law enforcement, police ethics and more! We first met Anthony when we were recapping "Disappeared". He was featured on Episode 111 - Lost Angel: The Disappearance of Angel Garcia. We were taken with his strong commitment to the case and justice.  Since then, he’s become the go-to for every question we have about that law and trust us - we have a lot. So naturally he had many thoughts on the awful investigation the Canton Police did on the death of John O'Keefe. We are so grateful to hear his thoughts on what SHOULD have happened that night.
