Summary

In Part 3 of Robbie and Genelle, host Cameron Jay revisits the murder. In January of 1994, the young couple with their entire futures ahead of them were brutally murdered in their Athens home. Together, we’ll examine the initial police report, learn what friends were told of the murder and the crime scene, and we’ll learn that there were- at least initially- several avenues for investigators of the Athens Clarke County Police department to explore. You'll also hear from Dr. David Waldron of Federation University in Australia, who helps us understand why the couple's fascination with Dungeons and Dragons might have garnered the attention of investigators in 1994.

Hosted, written and produced by Cameron Jay (@LifeofCameron). Original design by Kyle Kizziah (@Haizzik). Research assistance by Elizabeth Durusau.

Intro music exclusively for CCC by Ryan McDaniel.
