Summary

When 32-year-old Mikayla Evans fell five stories from a condo window in Johnson City, Tennessee, she woke from a coma with no memory of what happened, but with a shattered body and a chilling certainty: she had been drugged. Her fall led to disturbing allegations, not just against the man who owned the condo, Sean Williams, but against the very police department tasked with investigating him. As federal prosecutor Kat Dahl dug deeper, she uncovered a horrifying pattern of abuse, ignored reports, and possible corruption that may have enabled one of the most prolific sexual predators in recent history. This week, we’re diving into a case that left us reeling—and angry. Sponsors: Acorns Early Head to acorns.com/creepers or download the Acorns app to get started.
