Interview #68 | A Murder on Campus: Brian and Cameron Santana the 1973 murder of Virginia Olson in North Carolina

I’m joined by Brian and Cameron Santana in this interview episode. The American brothers are a duo with a unique skill set - Brian, an English professor and Cameron, a police officer - who joined forces to crack one of North Carolina’s most infamous cold cases.


On April 15, 1973, 19-year-old Virginia Olson’s body was discovered near the University of North Carolina-Asheville, sparking a decades-long investigation filled with twists, dead ends and chilling theories. For 50 years, law enforcement pursued the truth, sifting through connections to other crimes and a notorious serial killer.


Brian and Cameron’s meticulous research, blending academic analysis with investigative expertise, sheds new light on this haunting case. Join us as we discuss their journey, the obstacles they faced and the shocking revelations uncovered in 𝘈 𝘔𝘶𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘰𝘯 𝘊𝘢𝘮𝘱𝘶𝘴 - the book that finally brings long-awaited answers to a case that has remained unsolved for over half a century.
