Listen to Something Worth Listening
Living in Southern California, you have a lot of time where you’re listening to music to pass the downtown. You, of course, spend time in the So Cal traffic, you spend time with your earphones on at the gym, at the store, and sometimes even at home. As great as your music is, why not take a break and listen to a podcast? More importantly, listen to podcasts that talk about the world we live in today – for better or for worse. They’re entertaining, engaging, and examples of justice for crimes in the real world.
So take a beat and check out the previews for the Crime Beat Podcast.
Season Two: Mom vs. Murderer
On Feb. 12, 1994, Cal State Fullerton honor student Cathy Torrez didn’t come home after working the evening shift in the photo department at Sav-On. A week later, her body was discovered stabbed to death in the trunk of her own car.
“Crime Beat,” Season 2 focuses on Cathy’s mother, Mary Bennett, and her extraordinary quest for justice. It took 21 years for Mary’s wish to come true: The man who lived across the street was convicted of Cathy’s murder.
In this season, we will take you behind the scenes of the investigation, playing old interviews from cassette tapes taken from the 1994 police archives, conducting new interviews with people involved in the case and reporting new story lines that have never been published.
