    07 - The Murder of Denise Amber Lee

    ⁠EPISODE SUMMARY: This episode dives into the chilling and infuriating case of Denise Amber Lee, a young mother whose desperate fight for survival exposed fatal cracks in America’s 911 system. Multiple callers saw and reported what was happening — and still, help didn’t reach Denise in time. Her story became a nationwide wake‑up call that forced the country to confront how a broken emergency response system can cost lives. We break down the chain of missed opportunities, the calls that should have changed everything, and the movement Denise’s family sparked to make sure no one else slips through the cracks.

    06 - The Murder of Lauren McCluskey

    EPISODE SUMMARY: In this episode, we dive into the tragic case of Lauren McCluskey, a University of Utah student‑athlete whose attempts to seek help in the weeks before her death exposed serious gaps in campus safety and institutional response. Lauren’s case has become a national example of how systems meant to protect students can fail them — and how those failures can have devastating consequences. We walk through Lauren’s life, the tragedy, and the series of interactions with campus authorities that raised urgent questions still discussed today. The episode focuses on what Lauren did to protect herself, what support she sought, and how her family has turned their grief into advocacy for safer campuses across the country.
