Summary

Episode 5, The Evidence Against Travis Stay, examines what investigators and prosecutors believed tied Travis Stay to the 2007 murder of Joel Lovelien outside the Broken Drum Bar in Grand Forks, North Dakota. Through interviews with detectives and the legal team, host James Wolner asks: What was the evidence against Stay, and why did a jury later acquit him? This episode unpacks the state’s case, the trial, and the unresolved questions that linger more than a decade later.
