In 1979, the body of a teenage girl was found in a cornfield in Caledonia. For 35 years, her identity and her killer were a mystery. Half the mystery was solved in January 2015, when the girl was identified as Tammy Jo Alexander. The other half remains unsolved.
Finding Tammy Jo is a new podcast produced by WXXI News and the Democrat and Chronicle. Co-hosts Veronica Volk and Gary Craig spent a year investigating the case and weaving together the threads of evidence and memories that have emerged. They join us on Connections to share their insight into Tammy Jo's story. We listen to Episode 1 of the podcast, which launched on Sunday, and we provide a behind-the-scenes look into the making of Finding Tammy Jo. Our guests:
