TRUE CRIME ROUNDUP: Looking into the cases of Athena Strand, Lynette Hooker, Deborah Kennedy, Jacob Wetterling and more
Saturday, 18 April, 2026
A trial for the murder of 7-year-old Athena Strand and a mystery centered on a couple who went on what many speculate was a deadly boat ride in the Bahamas for Lynette Hooker are some of the developing cases we’ll cover in this episode. We’ll also take listeners into a recent meeting where investigators explained how they finally solved a nearly 30-year-old cold case murder of Deborah Kennedy, tracking it down to a neighbor who hadn’t even been a suspect with new DNA analysis technology. A new documentary film, “Echoes in the Night: The Jacob Wetterling Story” that is premiering his month explores another case that went unsolved for decades. We’ll hear from murder victim Jacob Wetterling’s mother of how solving these crimes impacts the families of victims. Featuring audio from KYW Newsradio in Philadelphia, KRLD 1080 in Dallas, the Dana & Parks Show out of KMBZ in Kansas City, WBEN News Talk in Buffalo, WWJ Newsradio in Detroit and the Adam & Jordana Show out of WCCO News Talk in the Twin Cities.
