معلومات عن هذه الحلقة
I sat down with Carson Burks — the young man publicly accusing his father, a Jefferson County Sheriff's Deputy, of decades of abuse. The interview started as planned. Then I brought up a police report from June 19th, and everything changed.
What I didn't know at the time: Carson had me live on his TikTok without my knowledge. When the conversation turned somewhere he didn't want it to go, he ended the stream and told me it was a phone call from his brother. It wasn't.
In this episode: what the June 19th report describes, how Carson answered when I pushed him on it and on where his GoFundMe money is actually going, and the 30 minutes he spent afterward asking me not to release any of this.
I'm Derek Baker — former narcotics detective, SWAT, Navy combat veteran — and I believe the public deserves the full picture, not just the parts that were convenient.
⚠️ This episode discusses domestic violence, child abuse, and a separate alleged assault. If any of this affects you personally: National Domestic Violence Hotline, 1-800-799-7233, available 24/7.
