About this episode
In the quiet village of Briarcliff Manor, Clay Tiffany was a divisive to say the least. With his shock of red hair and his low-budget public-access show, Dirge for the Charlatans, he spent years filming himself heckling police officers and local politicians. Most neighbors viewed him as a polarizing, perhaps unhinged, eccentric—especially when he claimed a local cop was a dangerous "rogue."
But as it turns out, Clay Tiffany wasn't just shouting into the wind. He was describing a monster.
This episode explores the intersection of two lives: a star-athlete-turned-activist and Nicholas Tartaglione, a police officer with a history of misconduct. From a million-dollar settlement over a brutal assault to Tartaglione’s time as Jeffrey Epstein’s cellmate, we look at the man who saw the truth long before the rest of the world caught up.
