    Welcome to The Stacked Deck, a six-part investigative series uncovering the shocking and tragic death of David Elmquist. In this series, we delve into the night David returned home after speaking with his parents about getting a divorce. Hours later, he was found with burns on over 90% of his body and tragically died.

    In this episode, we discuss how law enforcement agencies mishandled the case from the beginning, starting with their refusal to rescue David, labeling him a threat based on lies. When the police realized their mistake, they scrambled to cover their tracks, planting evidence and derailing the investigation. We believe systemic corruption across multiple agencies—including the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office, the Medical Examiner’s Office, and the State Fire Marshal’s Office—ensured justice was never served.

    This story is graphic, disturbing, and heart-wrenching. It’s more than just a case of murder; it's a story of political entanglements, misconduct, and a family's relentless pursuit of the truth. Join us as we expose the overwhelming evidence and demand accountability from those who should be upholding justice.

    Listeners are urged to hear this story, sign the petition for justice, and call for a proper investigation.

    S1 Ep2: Playing a Losing Hand: How Hennepin County Stack the Deck Against Justice
    Sep 25 2024
    In this episode of The Hennepin County Stacked Deck, we dive deep into the Hennepin County Attorney's Office (HCAO) and its role in shielding law enforcement from accountability. We explore the intricate web of how the system is stacked with in-house experts, making it nearly impossible for misconduct to be prosecuted. Drawing comparisons to the infamous case of George Floyd, we ask: why does Hennepin County, a place with a population of under 1.3 million, generate such global outrage?

    We recount the absurd conclusions HCAO presented about David’s death, alleging self-immolation despite glaring inconsistencies. From ignored critical evidence like open windows on a freezing night to an unexplained second oil pour and a missing ignition source, we unravel the investigative missteps. How can these shallow conclusions stand when the facts tell a far more complex story? This episode exposes the systemic failures that may explain why David’s case was not properly investigated or prosecuted and raises questions about how far this misconduct extends.

    Stay tuned as we continue our fight for justice and reveal more shocking evidence in the next episode.
