S1.E81 - When The System Fails The Girl Next Door: Megan Kanka & Megan's Law

She was just 7 years old, riding her bike in her New Jersey neighborhood, when she had disappeared. Megan Kanka’s murder in 1994 shocked the nation - not just because of its brutality, but because her killer was a previously convicted sex offender living right across the street - and no one knew.

In this episode, Cat and Rachel dive into the heartbreaking case of Megan Kanka and how her death led to sweeping legal reform: Megan’s Law, a policy that forced states to make information about registered sex offenders publicly accessible. But has it worked? And what are the lasting impacts - both good and controversial?

Join Cat and Rachel as they explore the tragedy, the legacy, and the laws meant to protect the next Megan from ever being forgotten.
