S20 Ep12: A Murder On Campus: North Carolina's Most Notorious Cold Case w/ Brian & Cameron Santana

True Crime Tuesday presents: A Murder On Campus: North Carolina's Most Notorious Cold Case w/ Brian & Cameron Santana! On April 15, 1973, two high school students discovered the body of 19-year-old drama major Virginia Marie Olson on a trail near the campus of the University of North Carolina-Asheville. The scene was horrific. Olson had been bound, raped, and brutally stabbed to death. The murder shocked the Asheville community and set off an investigation that would span three generations of detectives. A MURDER ON CAMPUS: The Professor, The Cop, And North Carolina’s Most Notorious Cold Case by Brian and Cameron Santana is the first book to present the story of law enforcement’s dramatic efforts to find Virginia Olson’s killer and bring him to justice. For more than 50 years, whispers about the killer’s identity have circulated throughout Buncombe County—from an escaped mental health patient from nearby Highland Hospital, to one of North Carolina’s most notorious serial killers, to a mysterious prime suspect whose wealthy and influential family kept his identity secret from the public … until now. On today's TCT, Brian and Cameron Santana join us to break down this cold case, cover the different suspects and motives, explain why the solution to this case was described as easy by police, yet so difficult to solve, and if this case will ever have a resolution!
