Episode 130: The Kidnapping and Murder of Megan Kanka
In July 1994, 7 year old Megan Kanka went outside to play in her safe suburban neighborhood and never returned home. Megan was stolen from her family, and the murderer was a man who lived just yards away with a history of crimes against children. In this episode, we discuss Megan’s case, but we also talk about legislation inspired by her case, Megan’s Law, and the ongoing conversations we should be having.
