She has not been seen since. Part 1 of "Kristen's Law" walks through who Kristen was — the Charlotte-raised inaugural Park Scholar at NC State, in San Francisco for a summer photography course at UC Berkeley and working two jobs — and reconstructs the day she vanished, the seven-day delay before the Oakland Police Department opened an investigation, the bloodhound trail that ended near Sutro Heights Park, and the early moves the Modafferi family made when they flew west on Friday, June 27, and were told to come back Monday.

Transcribe →The Last Call Killer
Apr 2301:21:22Tap to summarizeIn the early 1990s, New York City’s nightlife was a vibrant escape, but for a specific community, it became a hunting ground. This week, we dive into the chilling case of Richard Rogers, notoriously known as the "Last Call Killer." Operating under the cover of the city’s bustling piano bars and gay lounges, Rogers was a master of the "ordinary." He was a mild-mannered nurse by day who spent his evenings befriending men, buying them drinks, and offering them rides home—rides that would ultimately lead to their gruesome ends.

Transcribe →The Starlight Tours
Mar 2601:29:58Tap to summarizeFor decades, Indigenous communities in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan whispered about a police practice called a "starlight tour" — officers detaining First Nations men and abandoning them on the frozen outskirts of the city in sub-zero temperatures. In this episode, we trace the story from the 1990 death of seventeen-year-old Neil Stonechild, found frozen with handcuff marks on his wrists, to the harrowing winter of 2000, when two more frozen bodies were discovered near the same power station where survivor Darrell Night had barely escaped with his life days earlier. Night's courage in coming forward shattered decades of denial, triggered a landmark public inquiry, and forced a nation to confront a truth it had long refused to hear. Patreon Sources: CBC News.

Mar 1201:07:54Tap to summarizeFor 16 years, spanning from the 1940s to 1950s, bombs were left around prominent locations of New York City, including Consolidated Edison buildings. The only information surrounding who might be responsible for these attacks came down to notes sent and left by the bomber signed, "F.P." That's when investigators had a novel idea: talk to someone trained in psychology and come up with a sort of 'picture' of who might carry out this type of terrorism...and it worked!
