Corruption Uncovered

Corruption Uncovered

Some say he met them through his job. Some say he came to their houses, or offered them a ride home. According to dozens of women, Roger Golubski, a detective with the Kansas City, Kansas Police Department, raped, assaulted and stalked them. Now, after decades of secrecy and fear, he stands trial in Federal Court. Golubski is charged with assault, rape and kidnapping. And he’s been accused of much more. On Corruption Uncovered, we share stories of the women, the police department and Golubski himself; and we grapple with the questions left in the wake of it all. How could someone prey on so many people without consequence? Who else knew? And what will it take for the community to feel safe again? Hosted by Josie Duffy Rice. From Roc Nation and its philanthropic and justice division, Team Roc. Produced by Pineapple Street Studios.

The Cost of Saying No

Davilyn Dobbs, a mother of three sons, reveals how her life took a dark turn after working at the Sheriff’s Department and hearing whispers of police corruption. Initially dismissing the rumors, everything changed when Detective Roger Golubski made an unthinkable proposition: sleep with him to protect her children. What followed was a chilling pattern of retaliation after Davilyn rejected his advances. In 2008, her son, Donnell Dobbs, was convicted of murder— a crime he insists he didn’t commit. Davilyn believes her refusal to comply with Golubski led to Donnell being framed for a crime he had no part in. Nearly two decades later, she’s still fighting for justice, sharing her painful story, and demanding accountability from those in power in Kansas City, Kansas. This episode also includes powerful insights from Dr. Nikia Smith Robert, Assistant Professor of Religious Ethics and Social Justice at the University of Kansas, and Tricia Rojo Bushnell, Executive Director of the Midwest Innocence Project, as they delve into the systemic issues of police misconduct, wrongful convictions, and the fight for justice.

The Courage Of A Chaplain & The Call for Transparency

For decades, the KCKPD has been mired in allegations of corruption—spanning drug dealing, burglary, and more. In the 1990s, a police chaplain bravely spoke out but was ignored. When silence became complicity, he walked away and joined MORE2, choosing integrity over acceptance. Decades later, his fight for justice remains unwavering. In episode 6 of Corruption Uncovered, we explore the courage of one man who refused to look the other way and the ongoing battle for transparency led by Team Roc as we confront the department’s refusal to release critical documents. What’s being hidden—and why? This episode features conversations with Rick Behrens, current Pastor at Grandview Park Presbyterian Church in Kansas City, Former KCKPD Chaplain and Managing Director of Roc Nation’s, Team Roc Dania Diaz.
