1: House of Cards: The Fire, the Lies, and the Players

Welcome to The Stacked Deck, a six-part investigative series uncovering the shocking and tragic death of David Elmquist. In this series, we delve into the night David returned home after speaking with his parents about getting a divorce. Hours later, he was found with burns on over 90% of his body and tragically died.

In this episode, we discuss how law enforcement agencies mishandled the case from the beginning, starting with their refusal to rescue David, labeling him a threat based on lies. When the police realized their mistake, they scrambled to cover their tracks, planting evidence and derailing the investigation. We believe systemic corruption across multiple agencies—including the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office, the Medical Examiner’s Office, and the State Fire Marshal’s Office—ensured justice was never served.

This story is graphic, disturbing, and heart-wrenching. It’s more than just a case of murder; it's a story of political entanglements, misconduct, and a family's relentless pursuit of the truth. Join us as we expose the overwhelming evidence and demand accountability from those who should be upholding justice.

Listeners are urged to hear this story, sign the petition for justice, and call for a proper investigation.
