Campus Crime Chronicles ·

2022/11/28

This episode is rated a 5 (on my Serious Crime Scale). After years of considering her college roommate as one of her best friends, 21-year-old Alexis Crawford had no idea that, deep down, her so-called friend was not really ever her friend at all, but rather, her ultimate foe. This is the heartbreaking story of Alexis Crawford, a young woman with a promising future attending Clark Atlanta University whose life was tragically taken at the hands of her longtime best friend and roommate Jordyn Jones,

2022/11/14

This episode is rated a 5 (on my Serious Crime Scale). When Ally Kostial, a 21-year-old junior attending Ole Miss in Oxford, Mississippi, texted her on-again-off-again romantic interest Brandon Theesfeld and told him she might be pregnant, he did not take the news well, to say the least. Ultimately, Theesfeld would prove to be the coward that he is and take Ally’s life, but not before months of icing her out and deflecting the situation at hand. Support this podcast at —

Campus Crime Chronicles ·

2022/10/31

This episode is rated a 4 (on my Serious Crime Scale). It’s the story of Cindy Song, a 21-year-old senior at Pennsylvania State University, more commonly known as simply Penn State. On Oct. 31, 2001, Cindy went out with a couple of girlfriends, dressed in a bunny costume for Halloween. But when her friends dropped her off at her apartment in the early morning hours of Nov. 1, 2001, it would be the last time anybody saw Cindy… ever.

Chronicle 37: "Bakery v. College"

Campus Crime Chronicles ·

2022/10/17

This episode is rated a 3 (on my Serious Crime Scale). Now, I do want to give you a heads up that although this episode has a Serious Crime Scale rating of 3, it still includes some sensitive and controversial content, specifically involving race and racial discrimination. You see, at its surface, this story involved three Black college students, one who was arrested for robbery of a local bakery and two who were arrested for the assault of an employee at that bakery. But at its core, there is much,

Chronicle 35: "Bombers on the Run - Murder at MIT"

Campus Crime Chronicles ·

2022/07/18

This episode is rated a 5 (on my Serious Crime Scale). So, I’m sure you’re familiar with the tragedy associated with one of America’s oldest and most famous road races, the Boston Marathon. On April 15, 2013, two brothers detonated a pair of homemade bombs in the crowd of spectators watching the race, ultimately killing three people and severely injuring at least 260 others. It took law enforcement an impressive 102 hours to identify, pursue, and arrest the suspects, from the moment the bombs went

Campus Crime Chronicles ·

2022/07/04

This episode is rated a 5 (on my Serious Crime Scale). On Oct. 7, 1998, a teenager was riding his mountain bike in some fields just outside of Laramie, Wyoming, when he discovered what he thought was a scarecrow that had fallen off its post. Or, perhaps it was some type of Halloween gag, a dummy lying on the ground, maybe? It WAS October, after all. But when the teen got closer, he realized it was a person. The person was still alive, but barely breathing. It was 21-year-old Matthew Shepard, a

Chronicle 33: "Tinder Match Gone Wrong"

Campus Crime Chronicles ·

2022/06/13

This episode is rated a 4.5 (on my Serious Crime Scale). It’s another one of those stories that DOES involve homicide, but under what some might call extenuating circumstances… and, honestly, you’re probably going to be left scratching your head or maybe even questioning the justice system at the end of it. In my opinion, there were TWO victims in this case. There were TWO wrongs that clearly DID NOT make a right… and no, I’m not sure justice has been served, even though there was a court trial and

Campus Crime Chronicles ·

2022/05/30

This episode is rated a 5 (on my Serious Crime Scale). Eleven days after the shootings at Kent State University by the Ohio National Guard, Jackson State College (which is now Jackson State University) in Jackson, Mississippi, faced a similar tragedy, where two young people were killed by Jackson police officers and Mississippi state troopers. The two campus shootings by America’s own were so close together in time, and circumstances appeared so similar (at least in the public eye, that is), that

Chronicle 31: "The Kent State Shootings"

Campus Crime Chronicles ·

2022/05/16

This episode is rated a 5 (on my Serious Crime Scale). May the 4th is a significant date for numerous reasons. For some, it’s more of happy date on the calendar that represents a nod to the iconic Star Wars franchise and a play on words for "May the Force Be with You." But for Kent State University in Ohio, May 4th has a much more serious, significant, and somber meaning. On May the 4th of 1970, members of the Ohio National Guard fired shots into a crowd of students who were protesting the

Chronicle 30: "Murder at a House Party"

2022/05/02

This episode is rated a 5 (on my Serious Crime Scale). It’s the story of Humboldt State University student David Josiah Lawson. In 2017, Josiah, who was commonly known by his middle name, was stabbed to death at a house party off campus. Even though there are TONS of witnesses from the scene who can testify about exactly what they saw happen, nobody has been convicted of Josiah’s murder. In fact, the one person police suspected of the crime was arrested and released after only five days of testimony

Chronicle 29: "Seeking Justice for Anita"

Campus Crime Chronicles ·

2022/04/18

This episode is rated a 5 (on my Serious Crime Scale). It’s the story of 18-year-old Anita Knutson, a freshman at Minot State University in Minot, North Dakota. In June of 2007, Anita was killed in her off-campus apartment. Initially, police had a very large circle of suspects, and none of those suspects were ever officially cleared, which means police could never build what they would consider a provable case against any particular person… that is, until now, nearly 15 years after Anita’s murder

Chronicle 28: "Academic Espionage"

Campus Crime Chronicles ·

2022/04/04

This episode is rated a 2 (on my Serious Crime Scale). This story is partially what sparked the conspiracy theories (AKA rumors) that the coronavirus was developed in a lab in China. While the man in this story was found guilty of blatantly lying to the IRS about millions of dollars and his ties to China, he was NOT found guilty in any way of developing the coronavirus or even charged with anything of the sorts. It's the story of 62-year-old Harvard University professor Dr. Charles Lieber, who

Chronicle 27: "Lauren's Last Night"

Campus Crime Chronicles ·

2022/03/21

This episode is rated a 4 (on my Serious Crime Scale). It's the story of Lauren Spierer, a 20-year-old Indiana University student who seemed to disappear without a trace. But THIS story, this episode, has several possibilities of what might have happened to her. You see, in the summer of 2011, Lauren went out one night with some friends, but the last time she was seen seems to have left more questions than answers, especially among the group of friends she was last seen with.Support this podcast

On one morning in March of 1994, Shannon was working her part-time job as a score keeper at a community softball complex; but when she left the softball fields that day for lunch, she was never seen or heard from again.

When closing time came and went, Brian's friends can be seen leaving the bar, but Brian is nowhere in sight. He is never seen leaving the bar he walked into less than an hour earlier.

2022/02/07

This episode is rated a 5 (on my Serious Crime Scale). It’s the story of two roommates attending the very prestigious Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts. In the spring of 1995, after Trang Phuong Ho told her friend and roommate Sinedu Tadesse that she would no longer be rooming with her the next school year, Sinedu took the ultimate revenge, tragically ending the lives of both of these young women in a brutal murder/suicide event.Support this podcast at —

This episode is rated a 4.5 (on my Serious Crime Scale). How would you feel, or how would you react, if you were sitting in a college psychology class, and it was a typical day, just like any other day in a college classroom (at least you thought so when you first walked in); but, when you get there, the professor tells you and the rest of your peers, his deepest, darkest secret? Right then and there, in the middle of class, your professor admits to being a cold-blooded killer. Yes, this actually
