June 18, 2014: This episode covers day one of the investigation into then Oklahoma City police officer Daniel Holtzclaw. An investigation that began after Jannie Ligons, a 57-year-old grandmother, is pulled over at 2am and allegedly sexually assaulted. Within hours of her complaint, up to 20 employees of the Oklahoma City Police Department are all actively following up on leads and gathering evidence. Very quickly officer Holtzclaw is identified as their prime suspect. Sex Crimes Detectives Kim Davis and Rocky Gregory take over there case. Det. Davis decides Ligons is telling the truth before she ever even interviews Holtzclaw or reviews any evidence. Det. Davis further bias her investigation by instructing other investigators that she doesn't want to use what is normally considered a primary investigative tool - the photo line up. A surveillance video of the traffic stop is located and officer Holtzclaw is confronted and taken to headquarters for questioning.
This is the story of Oklahoma vs. Daniel Holtzclaw, from the eyes of the prosecution and the scrutiny of the defense. As told by Brian Bates, Oklahoma private investigator and original member of Daniel Holtzclaw's criminal defense team. (this audio file was updated 6/26/2019)

I dont recall seeing this in the news. So pissed I didn't look into it until now. Did anyone else pick up on the alleged victim stating something along the lines of when he was exposed she noticed he was "blondebheaded"...something along those lines. Also, the detective not recording her interview. This needs to be looked into (I'm only on the 2nd recording so forgive if I'm being too assumptive).
