Daily News | Four takeaways from the ‘Predator in Blue’ investigation into homicide detective Philip Nordo
The Police Department began investigating Nordo in 2017, prompted by defense lawyers who uncoveredBut Internal Affairs investigators soon found a complaint against Nordo dating back to 2005, by a teenager who said the detective had molested him. The complaint was referred to the DA’s Office at the time, but prosecutors declined to bring charges.
After Nordo was assigned to investigate the 2013 fatal shooting of 21-year-old Christian Massey in Overbrook, the detective enlisted a 22-year-old neighborhood man as a confidential informant. The informant gave Nordo the name of a possible suspect, Arkel Garcia. The informant also agreed to try to buy drugs from an alternate suspect, to lay groundwork for a search warrant.
In the months that followed, the informant said, he was threatened and shot at by the drug dealers Nordo had sent him to buy from. Then, in May 2015, he encountered one of them outside his house.The informant said before he met the detective he’d never felt the need to carry a gun. He’s now incarcerated for manslaughter. The man the informant identified as Massey’s killer,, after prosecutors acknowledged the detective had sexually propositioned virtually everyone involved in the case.
In the morning, Perry testified that Curtis Kingwood and Faheem Davis had robbed a dice game in West Philadelphia and fatally shot Christopher Lee. Raheem’s conviction was overturned this year based on the undisclosed information about Perry. But he said the DA’s Office is seeking to retry him.
