Wildcat Crime

In the show's first deep dive into a non-violent crime, we explore the story of the University of Arizona's famous stolen painting: Willem de Kooning's Woman Ochre. The painting was stolen from the museum of Art in 1985. 32years later it turned up in a second hand shop in New Mexico. How did it end up there? No one knows!

Season Two is here and we are kicking it off with the most requested crime ever.

We will also go through the trial of her killer, Galareka Harrison, and take a look into the epidemic of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls.

The Wildcat Crime "minisode" is back! (We really just can't seem to grasp the concept of an episode lasting less than 30 minutes, can we?) Host Vanessa Ontiveros talks with true crime journalist and investigator Billy Jensen about his work helping finishing Michelle McNamara's incredible book, "I'll Be Gone in the Dark," his own upcoming book, "Chase Darkness with Me," and what he thinks the future of true crime writing will be. Billy Jensen will also be at the 2019 Tucson Festival of Books on March 2 and 3.

It’s the return of the “minisode!” When we were planning the February minisode it was originally going to be a much shorter and much lighter but it turns out the women of the Daily Wildcat had a lot to say about stalking. That's because a disproportionate amount of them have been victims of it. Three Daily Wildcat Editors recount their personal experiences with stalking and how they dealt with it. Take a listen to this “minisode!”

(Think of it as a bonus episode if you like.)

In the third episode of Wildcat Crime, we look into the 1982 murders of UA sophomores Teresa Acuna and Susan England. A suspect would not be found for over a year after the gruesome killings, leaving the community to process the deaths on their own. When the killer, Clifford Dean Lacy, was caught it would many years- and trials- before he was convicted. We also discuss the ways in which crime journalism has failed to respect victims in the past, how it could change in the suture and why the ways we cover crime matters.
