About this listen
This episode explores two tragic stories that expose a disturbing pattern of police misconduct and abuse of power. Sandra Birchmore, a vulnerable young woman, was groomed by multiple police officers through a department-run Explorer program, ultimately leading to her death under suspicious circumstances. Decades earlier, Cara Knott, a college student, was murdered by a California Highway Patrol officer after being pulled over on a desolate road. Though separated by time, both cases highlight systemic failures, the manipulation of trust, and the dangers that arise when those sworn to protect exploit their authority.
