Murder 101

iHeartPodcasts 14 Episodes Jul 6, 2026

In a small Tennessee town, a local serial killer was caught by the most unlikely investigators: a group of high school students led by their teacher, Alex Campbell. Over one school semester, the class pieced together a 30-year-old mystery and identified the killer behind at least six brutal murders. Shockingly, while the Tennessee Bureau of Investigations publicly agrees with their theory, no charges have been filed. The students, both past and present, continue to seek justice and closure.
