## Shocking Turn in Case Against Former Kansas Detective
**Host:** Welcome back to the show. Today, we’re delving into a profoundly troubling case out of Kansas City, Kansas. Former detective Roger Golubski, accused of terrorizing Black women for years, was found dead just hours before he was set to stand trial on six felony charges. Joining us today is community activist and longtime advocate for the victims, Ms. Brenda Johnson. Brenda, thank you for being here.
**Brenda:** Thank you for having me.
**Host:** This case has shaken the community to its core. Can you tell us a little about the allegations against Golubski and the impact he had on these women’s lives?
**Brenda:** For years, women in our community have whispered Golubski’s name with fear. They spoke of abuse, intimidation, and a complete disregard for their human rights. They say he used his position of power to exploit and terrorize vulnerable women. These women deserve justice, and they deserve to be heard. [ [1](https://www.kcur.org/news/2024-12-02/roger-golubski-died-suicide-kansas-city-kckpd-police-abuse)]
**Host:** So many were looking forward to this trial, hoping for a chance to see Golubski held accountable. His death has understandably left many reeling, feeling cheated of justice.
**Brenda:** Absolutely. It’s a heartbreaking turn of events. These women waited years, bravely coming forward to tell their stories, hoping for closure and a sense of justice. Now, with Golubski gone, it feels like the pain and trauma they endured may never truly be acknowledged.
**Host:** What’s the community’s response to the news of his death?
**Brenda:** It’s a mix of emotions. Some feel relief that they’ll never have to face him again, while others are consumed by a sense of anger and frustration. There’s a feeling of being robbed, of having their chance for justice stolen.
**Host:** Where does the community go from here? Is there any way to find closure when some questions may now remain unanswered?
**Brenda:** This is a question we’re grappling with as a community. While Golubski’s death prevents a trial, we must continue to fight for accountability and change. De
manding transparency from the KCKPD, pushing for thorough internal investigations, and advocating for policies that protect vulnerable women from abuse must remain our priorities. This tragedy must serve as a catalyst for ensuring this never happens again.
**Host:** Thank you for your time and insights, Ms. Johnson. This is a painful chapter for the Kansas City community, but your courage and dedication to seeking justice for these victims is truly inspiring.
**Brenda:** Thank you. We will continue to fight for those whose voices were silenced.
