The murder of University of Utah heptathlete Lauren McCluskey by her ex-boyfriend is a cautionary tale of failure.

So today, after a four-year investigation, Nicole Noren joins the show to talk about everything we learned from the death of Lauren McCluskey and how easily this whole ordeal could have been prevented. “Listen”, a documentary reported by Nicole Noren and TJ Quinn is available now on ESPN+.
