  • TRUE CRIME ROUNDUP: It’s all about the evidence

    TRUE CRIME ROUNDUP: It’s all about the evidence
    Nov 29 2025
    This week, we’re talking about evidence. Fingerprints, Ring doorbell camera footage, witness testimony, DNA, all those clues that eventually lead investigators to perpetrators – and alleged perpetrators of crimes. Finding the evidence and using it to piece together how crimes were committed is complicated in and of itself. Things get even more complicated in the courtroom, where prosecutors, defense attorneys, judges and jurors pore over it. And administrative issues like DNA testing backlogs can snarl the process. We’ll cover several cases today where we can see how evidence, or the lack of evidence, has played a role in the search for justice. We’ll also focus on one type of evidence in particular -- DNA evidence – and efforts to improve how it’s collected and how it’s tested.

    TRUE CRIME ROUNDUP: Teens who kill
    Nov 15 2025
    Today, we’re taking a look at teens who kill, in particular teen mass shooters. Since teen assailants Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold killed their fellow Columbine High School students in 1999, these criminals have faced increased public attention. According to the Violence Prevention Project at Hamline University, shooters between the ages of 11 and 19 have conducted 19 mass shootings in the US since 1966, killing 162 people and injuring 145. This episode will address four of these shooters: Payton Gendron, Salvador Ramos, Colt Gray and Ethan Crumbley, and the devastation they have left behind.

Finally, we’ll return to both of those states to check in on a number of cases currently under investigation, from two bodies found dead in a Best Buy parking lot to a shooting on the campus of Historically Black College.
