In January 1992, 19-year-old Melissa Herstrum was a nursing student at the University of Toledo with her whole life ahead of her. But when her body was discovered in a campus parking lot, the investigation quickly revealed something deeply unsettling, In this episode, we revisit Melissa’s story and the shocking betrayal at the center of her murder. We look at campus safety, institutional trust, power, authority, and what happens when the person wearing the badge becomes the threat.
