Summary

Dru Sjodin was a 22-year-old college student at the University of Dakota when she was murdered in 2003. Dru was a responsible person. She was taking a full class load, was in a sorority, worked multiple jobs and even found time to volunteer. So when she went missing the evening of Nov 22, 2003, her friends and family knew it wasn't like her and they began to search for Dru. What no one knew was that Dru encountered a vile sexual predator named Alphonso Rodriguez as she headed to her car after work.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss the assault and murder of Dru Sjodin. This was a woman who was preparing herself for life after college and was working hard to accomplish her goals. Her killer Alphonso Rodriguez saw an easy target in Dru Sjodin. She was a pretty young woman who was talking on her cell phone and, as most of us are when we're talking on our cell phones, she was less aware of her surroundings. The act committed by Rodriguez will make you upset, but even more so will his rap sheet and how he seemed to get away with similar acts time and time again throughout the years.
