MINI TRUE CRIME ROUNDUP: A look at Luigi, OJ, crime, fame and infamy
Since a manhunt ended with the arrest of Luigi Mangione for the alleged murder of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson in late 2024, he’s almost reached celebrity status. He even has his own fanclub – girls who make their way into his court hearings. Unlike many killers, the unique qualities of Mangione’s case – including his own manifesto – have received a surprisingly warm reception by some. In addition to providing an update on his trials, we’ll unpack his public reception a bit in this episode. To end the show, we’ll touch on one of the most famous celebrity murder cases, the OJ Simpson trial. Mark Fuhrman, a police officer whose infamous, televised, testimony was a key feature of the trial, died this week, and Audacy stations reflected back on how it impacted the eventual verdict. Featuring audio from The Dave Glover Show out of KMOX in St. Louis, Jason DeRusha and Chad Hartman out of WCCO News Talk in the Twin Cities and the Dana & Parks Show out of KMBZ in Kansas City.

MINI TRUE CRIME ROUNDUP: How mass shooters copy the tragedies of the past
On Monday, May 18th, 2026, two teen shooters entered the Islamic Center of San Diego and opened fire, according to authorities. It hasn’t been a week yet since suspects shot and killed two men there and then took their own lives. Investigators have discovered a manifesto they believe the shooters penned. Those indicate that the shooters were at least partly motivated by another shooter who made headlines. We’ll be taking a closer look at that case and its relationship to online culture – including glorification of mass shooters and more – in this episode with expert interviews.

TRUE CRIME ROUNDUP: A tangled web of murder and fame
Crime and fame have an uncomfortable relationship. While the public wants and needs to know about crimes, the criminals themselves can actually chase the attention that comes committing a crime. Some crimes are so bizarre that its inevitable that they’ll become headline news. And sometimes, criminals are already famous by the time they go down a violent path. In all of these circumstances, increased attention can change the way criminal investigations play out. This week, we'll look at the how fame and infamy played a part in the and recent San Diego mosque shooting, the Luigi Mangione case and the OJ Simpson trial.
