Replay- Murdered: Kristin O'Connell (Part 1)

Method & Madness

Jan 12 2024 • 45 mins

In honor of Kristin's birthday, I am re-releasing the first episode in the 9-part series on her case. Thank you for listening.


The entire series on Kristin's case is available here: Kristin O'Connell — Method & Madness Podcast (methodandmadnesspodcast.com)

20-year-old Kristin O’Connell was beautiful, bright, and adored. In the summer of 1985, she was brutally murdered while visiting a friend out of town.

In over 37 years since- her mother has fought for justice while Kristin's murder remains unsolved.

In the first episode of this special mini-series, we’ll explore Kristin’s story and her case. Who was she and what brought her to a rural town, 1000 miles from home? Who were the last people to see her alive, and who would want her dead?

We’re going to attempt to answer some of these questions- while also being respectful that the case is still considered an open investigation.

This is Kristin’s story, told by those who are fighting for her.
