6
00:00:18.239 --> 00:00:22.559
<v Speaker 1>true story of Officer Joe Gleniwitz. Joe is a hometown

7
00:00:22.679 --> 00:00:26.120
<v Speaker 1>hero and a thirty year veteran of the local police department.

8
00:00:27.320 --> 00:00:32.520
<v Speaker 1>On September first, two thousand fifteen, just one month from retirement,

9
00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:35.799
<v Speaker 1>he was found dead outside of an abandoned cement plant,

10
00:00:36.439 --> 00:00:40.200
<v Speaker 1>shot in the chest twice at close range. While the

11
00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:44.119
<v Speaker 1>town and Joe's family mourned his passing, hundreds of police

12
00:00:44.119 --> 00:00:48.159
<v Speaker 1>officers launched a man hunt to find his killer. After

13
00:00:48.280 --> 00:00:53.240
<v Speaker 1>weeks of searching, the lead investigator discovered chilling secrets about Joe,

14
00:00:53.560 --> 00:00:56.920
<v Speaker 1>the local police department, and the village of Fox Lake,

15
00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:01.119
<v Speaker 1>secrets that, once uncovered, would put the town in the

16
00:01:01.240 --> 00:01:05.959
<v Speaker 1>national spotlight and haunt them for years to come. Over

17

18
00:01:10.959 --> 00:01:14.599

25
00:01:52.920 --> 00:01:55.719
<v Speaker 2>On any other Labor Day, the town of Fox Lake,

26
00:01:55.760 --> 00:01:58.760
<v Speaker 2>Illinois would be filled with people out for a good

27
00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:03.680
<v Speaker 2>time boating and drinking in the bars. But on Labor

28
00:02:03.760 --> 00:02:08.039
<v Speaker 2>Day twenty fifteen, the streets were lined with thousands of mourners,

29
00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:12.120
<v Speaker 2>all here to pay tribute to a fallen hero, a

30
00:02:12.199 --> 00:02:16.439
<v Speaker 2>local police officer, the twenty fifth cop nitionwide to be

31
00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:18.240
<v Speaker 2>shot dead in the line of duty.

32
00:02:18.280 --> 00:02:18.719
<v Speaker 1>That year.

33
00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:25.960
<v Speaker 2>It had been one of the hottest summers on record,

34
00:02:26.680 --> 00:02:29.960
<v Speaker 2>and inside the crowded high school theater where the funeral

35
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:34.639
<v Speaker 2>was taking place, the temperature was almost unbearable. I'm the

36
00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:38.000
<v Speaker 2>Patrol Division commander for the Fox Lake Police Department. At

37
00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:41.800
<v Speaker 2>the front of the theater was the officer's casket, draped

38
00:02:41.800 --> 00:02:44.879
<v Speaker 2>in an American flag. With great honor that I make

39
00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:48.560
<v Speaker 2>this presentation. Sitting in the back was a gray haired

40
00:02:48.639 --> 00:02:51.280
<v Speaker 2>man in his late fifties with a silver go tee

41
00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:52.759
<v Speaker 2>and a thick pair of glasses.

42
00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:55.400
<v Speaker 3>When I got there, it kind of took me back

43
00:02:55.479 --> 00:02:58.000
<v Speaker 3>and I was like, Wow, this is unbelievable.

44
00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:02.560
<v Speaker 2>Metal of honor. George Falinko was a police chief in

45
00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:06.919
<v Speaker 2>a neighboring town. He'd been to officer funerals before, but

46
00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:08.080
<v Speaker 2>nothing like this.

47
00:03:08.840 --> 00:03:12.400
<v Speaker 3>It was just incredible. How many officers were there, from

48
00:03:12.439 --> 00:03:14.840
<v Speaker 3>how many departments, from all over the country.

49
00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:18.520
<v Speaker 2>George was dressed in his one good suit. He watched

50
00:03:18.759 --> 00:03:22.120
<v Speaker 2>as the other Fox Lake officers took the stage to speak.

51
00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:25.840
<v Speaker 1>Joe's a friend of mine for thirty years, his saying

52
00:03:26.319 --> 00:03:30.879
<v Speaker 1>embrace the suck. Well, we're doing it today. When we

53
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:32.800
<v Speaker 1>were growing up, we all knew Joe was a hero.

54
00:03:34.120 --> 00:03:35.800
<v Speaker 1>But now the nation knows he's a hero.

55
00:03:36.759 --> 00:03:40.159
<v Speaker 2>We are Glen, what strong? I love you, brother. George

56
00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:43.240
<v Speaker 2>sat in the cushion seat, sweating from too many bodies

57
00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:47.520
<v Speaker 2>crowded into the theater. He gazed forward, trying to focus

58
00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:52.000
<v Speaker 2>on the speakers. Joe was a father to those boys,

59
00:03:52.800 --> 00:03:56.680
<v Speaker 2>but his mind was elsewhere because George had been tasked

60
00:03:56.719 --> 00:03:59.960
<v Speaker 2>with leading the investigation into the officer's death.

61
00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:02.080
<v Speaker 3>I was just thinking, let's get back to the station.

62
00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:04.919
<v Speaker 2>All eyes in the room were focused on the stage,

63
00:04:05.479 --> 00:04:09.039
<v Speaker 2>but for the last week they'd been on George. It

64
00:04:09.159 --> 00:04:12.000
<v Speaker 2>was up to him to bring Joe's killers to justice.

65
00:04:12.240 --> 00:04:16.720
<v Speaker 3>I was focused on where we were going, what we had,

66
00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:20.279
<v Speaker 3>when our next steps are going to be constantly thinking.

67
00:04:20.920 --> 00:04:25.199
<v Speaker 3>When you're so absorbed in these cases, especially something like this,

68
00:04:25.959 --> 00:04:29.360
<v Speaker 3>your mind just just runs about a thousand miles an hour.

69
00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:32.040
<v Speaker 2>George thought about all the people in the room who

70
00:04:32.079 --> 00:04:36.120
<v Speaker 2>loved Lieutenant Joe Glenowitz. He couldn't let them down. I'm

71
00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:40.879
<v Speaker 2>here to tell you broke the mold with Joe. George

72
00:04:40.879 --> 00:04:43.360
<v Speaker 2>and the other cops still had a lot to uncover

73
00:04:43.959 --> 00:04:47.000
<v Speaker 2>about what had happened to their fallen brother. But there

74
00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:51.720
<v Speaker 2>was one big thing George didn't know that day. The

75
00:04:51.839 --> 00:05:06.480
<v Speaker 2>killer was right there in the room. From wondering the

76
00:05:06.519 --> 00:05:09.519
<v Speaker 2>makers of Joe Exotic and the Shrink next Door comes

77
00:05:09.519 --> 00:05:11.560
<v Speaker 2>a story about how the hunt for a killer.

78
00:05:11.800 --> 00:05:15.920
<v Speaker 3>He said, when you find these motherfuckers, take your safeties

79
00:05:15.959 --> 00:05:16.759
<v Speaker 3>off shoot.

80
00:05:16.759 --> 00:05:21.160
<v Speaker 2>The kill revealed secrets hidden just below the surface. I

81
00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:23.639
<v Speaker 2>was told in a very strong voice, it's none in

82
00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:24.319
<v Speaker 2>your business.

83
00:05:24.759 --> 00:05:25.680
<v Speaker 3>You don't need to know.

84
00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:31.040
<v Speaker 2>That, doctor secrets that everyone in fox Lake would rather forget.

85
00:05:31.399 --> 00:05:35.040
<v Speaker 3>Foxley kid get reputation a little bit on the Dark Side.

86
00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:37.160
<v Speaker 3>We saw that the packet of the powder, which later

87
00:05:37.199 --> 00:05:38.800
<v Speaker 3>turned out to be you know, cocaine.

88
00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:40.839
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't shock me if you try to plant something

89
00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:42.160
<v Speaker 1>on her, but to kill her, no.

90
00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:44.639
<v Speaker 2>I got the hell out of that town because small

91
00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:48.360
