The Laken Riley Murder - Ft. Sheryl McCollum Part 2

Welcome to All Things Crime, where we dive deep into stories of justice, victims, and the events that shape our communities. In part 2 of this episode, Jared takes on one of the most heartbreaking cases we've covered yet: the tragic story of Laken Riley. This bright, compassionate 22-year-old nursing student, humanitarian, and beloved daughter had her life stolen in a horrific crime that has shaken the nation.

Joined by crime scene investigator and podcast host Sheryl McCollum (Zone 7), we explore Laken’s incredible legacy, the horrifying details of her killer's actions, and the systemic failures that allowed a violent criminal to walk free and commit this unthinkable act. Together, Jared and Sheryl analyze the investigation, the trial, and the pressing need for changes in policy and law enforcement practices to ensure this never happens again.

This episode is more than just a recounting of events — it’s a call to action. Join us as we honor Laken Riley’s memory and discuss how we can better protect our communities from crime.
