123. Murder on Campus: The Unsolved Death of Ginger Olson with Brian and Cameron Santana
Manage episode 468342775 series 3590837
On a Sunday morning in April 1973, a 19-year-old drama major at the University of North Carolina, Asheville got dressed and left her dorm to walk the trails to the Biltmore botanical gardens to study in quiet and beauty as she liked to do on most weekends. Hours later, two teenagers stumbled onto the scene of her brutal murder.
Was it an escaped psychiatric patient? Did a student kill her? Was it a local cult leader? What was a powerful family trying to hide and why did it seem like local authorities were helping them? Brian Santana, a professor who teaches a true crime course, and his brother Cameron, a retired police officer, join to discuss their search for answers in this 50-year-old mystery.
