Affidavit of Timothy Maskil

I, Timothy Masldl, being of sound mind and lawful age, hereby state on my oath as
follows:

1. My name is Timothy Maskil, and I live in Wyandotte County, Kansas.

2. I am a retired detective of the Kansas City, Kansas, Police Department,

where I was employed for 30 years. I retired in January of 1995 as a
homicide detective.

3. During my tenure as a homicide detective, the Department had two teams of

homicide detectives. One team was made up of Detective Clyde Blood and
me. The second team was made up of Detectives Mike Shomin and Kermy
Alien. These teams were assigned homicide cases depending on who was on
duty or on call during a given time period.

4. During my career, I discovered that the Kansas City, Kansas, Police

Department could be very "political." Politicians and influential persons in
the community seemed to have input on employees being promoted and
transferred within the Department.

5. During the time I was with the Department, there was also a great deal of
pressure to solve certain homicides. This pressure could come from
influential persons in the community, or could be influenced by the location
of the crime.

6. I have recently reviewed some police reports from a double homicide on

April 15, 1994, to which I was briefly assigned. I have no independent
recollection of this case, though I do recall how cases were investigated and
what procedures were used during that time period.

7. In 1994, Detective Roger Golubski was not a regular homicide detective, I

believe that Roger Golubski was assigned to the case because of its location
and because the homicides occurred in a predominantly black area of the

Exh. 26 P0001
 city. The case should have been assigned to one of the four homicide
detectives.

8. Roger Golubsld had always aspired to be a homicide detective and was

eager to work on homicide cases. I believe this was because of the freedom
that came with being a homicide detective, as detectives Investigating
homicides were typically free to be out in the community all day, with little
supervision.

9. In reviewing the Lamonte Mclntyre case, I was very surprised to learn that
Roger Golubsld never applied for, nor executed, any search warrant This
was a double homicide, and it was logical to believe that physical evidence
might be found during a search. I believe that any detective on the case
should have obtained a search warrant to attempt to find, for example, the
weapon or the clothing of the shooter. The failure to obtain a search
warrant does not make sense to me.

10.1 have also learned that the photo lineup that was used by Roger Golubsld in
the Mclntyre case contained photos of three Mclntyre family members. I
know that it was improper to use multiple family members in the same
lineup. I believe that if members of the same family are to be identified, then
separate photo arrays should be used for each member.

11.1 worked with Roger Golubsld for a number of years while in the Kansas
City, Kansas, Police Department s Detective Bureau. Golubsld was a
"loner" and only shared information with other detectives when It would
benefit GolubskL I believed at that time that Roger Golubsld could be a
decent detective. However, there were times that Roger Golubski made
clear that he believed that he was a better detective than he was. Roger
Golubsld would oftentimes over emphasize his role in an investigation and
place great importance on his role, versus the role of other detectives. It was
apparent to me that Roger Golubski was trying to build his own reputation as
a detective, especially in the "black community."

Exh. 26 P0002
12.1 believe that Roger Golubski was the type of detective who would stop at
nothing to solve a case. I also believe that if one ofGolubski's cases was to
be questioned, Roger Golubski would defend his investigation. Roger
Golubsld did not like to be told or proven that he was wrong.

13. Throughout the Police Department, Roger Golubski was known for having
sex with black, drug-addicted prostitutes. I believe the entire Department
knew about this. Everyone also knew that Roger Golubski was using these
same black, dmg-addlcted prostitutes as his informants.

14.1 believe that Roger Golubsld used his color of authority over these
prostitutes/informants to obtain sexual relations. I know that the
Administration of the Kansas City, Kansas, Police Department talked to
Roger Golubski on more than one occasion about his involvement with
black prostitutes/informants. I believe that the Administration of the Kansas
City, Police Department turned a blind eye to Golubski's activities because
the information that Golubsld appeared to be obtaining from these black
prostitutes/informants seemed to get results, in terms of getting cases
"cleared."

15.1 disapproved of Roger Golubsld having sex with these black

prostitutes/informants. I recall an instance when I told Roger Golubski that I
believed that he was becoming too close to his black prostitutes/informants.
I told Roger Golubski that I believed that these prostitutes/informants were
"working him as much as he was working them." What I meant by this was
that Golubsld was getting charges dropped and warrants ignored for his
black prostitute/informants. I believe that these women knew this and they
had sex with Golubski because they knew that Golubski would take care of
whatever legal issues they had at the time. After I told this to Roger
Golubski, he seemed to "slough off my opinion and we never discussed the
topic again.

16. It was common back then to have a defective try to have the charges of an
informant dismissed. I recall one time telling a Judge about the cooperation
one of my informants had provided in a case. I asked the Judge for any

Exh. 26 P0003
 consideration in the case. The Judge ended up dismissing the case on my
informant. I used this process very sparingly. However, other detectives,
such as Roger Golubski, used this process very often.

17. The use of informants was prevalent during my tenure as a homicide

detective. Detectives were supposed to document all informants; however,
this policy was not followed by most detectives. I do not recall any
detective who documented every informant as we were supposed to. Most
reports that were written that used information from an informant would
identify the informant as an "un-named or unidentified informant." This was
a trick detectives used so that the informant would not be called to testify.

18.1 believe that law enforcement officers having sex with their informants is
wrong. It is wrong because these informants can easily manipulate the law
enforcement officers, or vice versa.

19.1 also know that Kansas City, Kansas, police detectives would place
pressure on their informants to gain the informant's cooperation. Many of
these informants were poor, drug-abusing women, who had children. A
commonly used technique to apply pressure on these informants was to
threaten the informants that, if they did not cooperate. Social Services would
be called and the informant's children would be taken from her. If the
informant cooperated, then Social Services was not called. This type of
pressure provided leverage on witnesses.

20.1 do not have a strong recollection of Cecil Brooks. But, I do remember that
the McCall's Service Station, located on Quindaro Boulevard, was a major
source of crack cocaine in the early 1990's. I believe that I recall that Brooks
may have acted as an informant for the federal government after one of his
arrests in the area of 3rd Street and Quindaro Boulevard. I think Brooks
acted as an informant to take the spotlight off of him and place it on his
competition.
