In a small Tennessee town, a local serial killer was caught by the most unlikely investigators: A group of high school students, led by their teacher, Alex Campbell. Throughout the course of one school semester, the class pieced together a 30-year-old mystery and identified the killer behind at least six brutal murders. Shockingly, while the Tennessee Bureau of Investigations publicly agrees with their theory, no charges have been filed against the murderer. While some sleuthing students already have graduated, they, along with a fresh crop of current high schoolers, still want to finish the assignment, once and for all.

Hi, Murder 101 listeners! We're excited to share with you a sneak peek at iHeartPodcasts' latest release, What Happened to Her!

 

What Happened to Her: For four seasons, investigative reporter Melissa Jeltsen has told the stories of women whose lives — and deaths — were shaped by the failures of the systems meant to protect them. Now she's widening her lens, with new episodes every week. In What Happened to Her, Melissa takes on the stories that won't let her go. Women whose deaths were too quickly ruled suicides. Women no one believed. Cases everyone else called closed. Some weeks, a mystery unfolds across multiple episodes. In others, Melissa sits down with fellow investigative journalists and podcast hosts to go behind the scenes on the cases — and the women — they just couldn't shake.

“Murder 101” is now streaming on Prime Video! 

In a quiet Tennessee town, a high school sociology class takes on a mystery that has lingered for decades. Led by teacher Alex Campbell, the students of Elizabethton High School begin investigating the Redhead Murders—a series of unsolved killings that once captured headlines across the South before fading from public memory. What starts as a classroom project soon evolves into a remarkable real-world investigation, as the students uncover new leads, connect long-overlooked clues, and bring fresh attention to victims who were nearly forgotten. Along the way, they discover that the search for answers is about more than solving a case, but about giving a voice to the people at the center of it and proving that determination can come from the most unexpected places. 

Based on the hit podcast from KT Studios, “Murder 101” is available to stream Prime Video.
