When a college junior and aspiring pediatrician is beaten to death in her own bed, the bright future of a beloved young woman, an active member of the Hollywau-Suponi tribal community, is instantly destroyed.

A bitter note, a fight captured on voicemail during an accidental pocket dial, and past police reports of violence weave a story of jealousy, cruelty, and lingering mystery in this episode of Last Seen Alive is brought to you by Audible.

My latest listen has been Above Suspicion by Joe Sharkey, a true crime story where the usual

roles are reversed and the killer is an FBI special agent. His victim,

one of his informants. Above suspicion is an in-depth telling of the story of a newly minted

special agent who's posted to the coalfields of eastern Kentucky directly after he graduates from

the academy. Alone in a crime-ridden area of Appalachia, he works relentlessly to fit in and

understand the people and crimes that surround him with significant success. But ultimately, his

efforts to make a name for himself in a notoriously difficult outpost, and in the murder of his

star informant, a young and disadvantaged Appalachian mother. It's an engrossing, tragic, true crime story

that reads like a novel. So give it a listen and hear for yourself how a rising FBI star

crashes and burns because of a terrible, deadly decision. Head to audible trial.com slash

the shock and pain the parents

of one particular student endured is something no parent should ever have to worry about.
