In this conversation, Rick discusses the Gone Girl case that occurred in 2015 and highlights the failures of the police and the justice system. The case involves Quinn's account of a group of intruders kidnapping his girlfriend Denise, but the police immediately suspect Quinn and emotionally abuse him during interrogation. Denise is later dropped off at her childhood home, but the police accuse her of making up the story. The media compares the case to the movie Gone Girl, further victimizing Denise. Denise reveals the horrifying details of her captivity and sexual assault. The kidnapper admits to kidnapping the wrong woman and sexually assaulting Denise. The police fail to investigate other incidents and dismiss Denise's claims. The FBI eventually intervenes and realizes the police had it wrong. Rick emphasizes the impact of sexual abuse and personal experiences, criticizes the injustice and victim-blaming, and calls for accountability and reform in law enforcement.
