When Cops Realize Their Partner Is A Killer
from TruRed CRIME Hosted by TrueRed CRIME
A badge and a gun. A shared patrol car. A partner who is supposed to watch your back. But sometimes, the greatest threat is not the suspect on the street. It is the officer standing next to you. In June 2025, Chicago police officer Krystal Rivera was shot in the back during a tactical operation. The bullet came from her own partner, Carlos Baker, with whom she had recently ended a two-year romantic relationship. Rivera had told supervisors she feared for her safety. She had requested a different partner. The department reassigned Baker to her anyway. When Rivera fell, Baker fled to another floor. He did not call for help. He did not apply pressure to her wound. Rivera radioed in her own shooting. She later died from her injuries. In Dorset, England, police officer Timothy Brehmer had a ten-year affair with married nurse Claire Parry. When she threatened to expose him, he killed her in a pub car park. He claimed it was an accident. The judge disagreed, sentencing him to ten years for manslaughter. These cases reveal the ultimate betrayal. The person trusted to protect you becomes the one who ends your life. Turn down the lights, put on your headphones, and press play because some killers wear uniforms.
