Episode 4, called “Sins of the Father,” digs into the internal affairs files on Michigan State Police Trooper David Moeggenborg. His daughter, Meghan Moeggenborg, tells us about a horrifying walk in the woods and the threat she said he made if she ever spoke about it afterward.
“Secrets” is the story of Henagan, a downstate man who moves to Michigan’s remote Upper Peninsula in the winter of 2007-08, then vanishes. Follow along as John Wisely, a veteran Free Press reporter, investigates Hena- gan’s case after we got a news tip on a triple murder. Wisely’s reporting uncovers serious concerns about the police — especially Moeggenborg.
