After conflicting police reports, a community aims for closure.
In the past 72 hours, Mared & Karen: The WVU Coed Murders has been made available on both Spotify and YouTube. Excited to share a new video production with everyone tomorrow afternoon, and to debut an entire new podcast in the coming months!
Competitive home chef Brittany Furbee shares her recipe for Venison Wellington.
Awesome writeup in the Pittsburgh City Paper this week:
"[A]s the series develops, it becomes clear that the scope of the podcast is much bigger. It's about the unparalleled violence and crime rates of the 1970s, about psychopathy and the nature of evil, and finally, about the meaning of true crime's resurgence in popular culture. While at times it's horrific and upsetting... the show is head and shoulders above most of its true crime contemporaries. There are other podcasts with twists and turns and mystery, but none that navigate them as deeply and insightfully as Mared & Karen."
A bill elminating academic penalties for possessing firearms on campus is again making its way through the West Virginia legislature. Here’s a 2-minute primer video I made on the issue last year.
A Maryland judge just granted Kromatic Media key 911 audio in its new murder/suicide investigation.
The audio was originally denied by the Garrett County Attorney, who claimed that providing the audio violated the state's Wiretap Act. The win means that we will be able to examine and share the audio, but also affirmatively secures 911 audio for journalists throughout the state.
Thanks to the Society of Professional Journalists for their help with funding!
I’m becoming more West Virginian every day…
