1/10 I’m thrilled to share the first 3 episodes of our new investigative podcast #BrokenDoors. I spent more than a year examining the abuse of no-knock warrants and listening to hours of tape (including secret recordings!) w/ co-host @ndungca washingtonpost.com/brokendoors

The people of Maypearl trusted Police Chief Kevin Coffey. Few were aware that Maypearl was the eighth law enforcement agency that Coffey had worked at in 11 years. And none could have predicted the destruction he would wreak in their town. wapo.st/3Do2i8D

"Maypearl was the 8th law enforcement agency that Coffey had worked at in 11 years." With over 18,000 LEAs in the country and virtually zero accountability for police offenders, police departments are an easy place for criminals to hide in plain sight. wapo.st/400dLUA

Step inside Maypearl, Texas, where Chief Kevin Coffey's path of destruction went far beyond the girls he preyed on. Then follow @jennabelson, Alice Li & @vanhoutenphoto to a Texas prison to get answers from Coffey himself: wapo.st/400dLUA

The new police chief quickly impressed the small Texas community he’d sworn to protect. He started a Christmas charity event. He checked on elderly neighbors. He seemed especially good with troubled teenagers. Then they learned who he really was: wapo.st/400dLUA

In our investigation of police officers who sexually abuse kids, we kept noticing a pattern: officers trying to use their positions to intimidate witnesses, destroy evidence & evade consequences. We were still stunned by what happened in Gauley Bridge: wapo.st/3AGXIRK

Back in 2021, I reported on former SC school resource officer Jamel Bradley charged with sexual battery of a student and the system that protected him for years. I learned today that he STILL is out on bond after all these years. NO ONE has been held accountable for protecting this man for so long and failing to protect these young girls from *alleged* abuse. Great work by the Post on this story. It's good to see it getting the attention it deserves.

The teen was nervous to hear the results of the investigation. Weeks had passed since the 15-year-old reported that a school resource officer sexually assaulted her. In his office. In the middle of the school day. wapo.st/3AN20XH

The brilliant @ndungca is at it again with a series about brains taken without consent by a racist anthropologist and kept at the Smithsonian. She and @clurhealy, along with a team of Post colleagues, have produced phenomenal work including this illustrated investigation.
Nicole Dungca@ndungca

Maura's story sparked this investigation into the Smithsonian's racial brain collection. She was an Indigenous Filipino woman who came to St. Louis to be put on display at the World's Fair. When she died, an anthropologist likely took her cerebellum. wapo.st/3YDekkN

I’m so glad @ndungca @jennabelson are getting the recognition they deserve for the Broken Doors podcast. This was one of the most meaningful stories I worked on in WaPo’s investigative practicum & every hour spent scouring through warrants was well worth it! Congrats ladies!🎉📰

890 calories. 2.5 hours of cardio. A cocktail of performance-enhancing drugs. An aspiring bodybuilder is now on life support after following extreme contest prep measures. Here is Neggy's story. wapo.st/3hHOV8K

When I began reporting this story about the science of bodybuilding last May, I had several expectations that turned out to be completely wrong. Here are the four biggest, plus a question I wish I’d asked. 🧵washingtonpost.com/investigations…
