DOSSIER SEASON II - EP. 17: FRANK LYGA PT. 5

After being cleared by LAPD’s Robbery Homicide Detectives, the District Attorney’s office and THREE Shooting Boards, Detective Frank Lyga thought he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.  That feeling would not last long. Two weeks after LAPD Chief Bernard Parks announced that he’d been cleared of any wrongdoing in the shooting death of Kevin Gaines, two pounds of cocaine belonging to one of Detective Lyga’s cases would mysteriously vanish. Suddenly, Frank was considered a crooked cop, a thief and drug dealer who’d gotten away with murder.  After months of being under 24-hour surveillance by Internal Affairs, he would be called into a secret meeting with Rampart Task Force Detectives Mike Hohan and Brian Tyndall. In this week’s episode, Lyga takes Dossier host Don Sikorski through that secret meeting, which included a stunning piece of information picked up by detectives during a Title 3 wiretap on Raphael Perez’ phone. He also discusses a previously unknown connection to Perez and his partner in crime, David Mack.
