The shocking investigation sprawls across decades, as police turn their attention from a serial attacker, to her son, to a group of Princeton University students who said they were at a Grateful Dead concert at the time of the killing. The hot-blooded investigator sees a conspiracy.

The creators of 'In the Shadow of Princeton' and 'Father Wants Us Dead' bring you a new true crime series about a serial killer you've never heard of and the women who took him down: Someone's Hunting Us. In 2016, a serial killer was preying on Black women and girls he thought no one would miss — and getting away with it. Police in New Jersey never suspected that Khalil Wheeler-Weaver, a nerdy-looking, polite young man from a law enforcement family, was the one stalking the streets and dating apps for his next target. Like 'Father Wants Us Dead' — called one of the best true crime podcasts of all time by Entertainment Weekly — 'Someone's Hunting Us' is a deeply-reported story that honors the victims, investigates the investigators and gets inside the mind of a killer that fooled everyone. ----------- Check out our website for more about our reporting, plus photos and video footage, including Khalil Wheeler-Weaver's full interrogation video: https://someoneshuntingus.com Have a question, an idea for our next show, or other feedback?

Harvard has a problem - a body snatching problem. The Ivy League community was rocked when Harvard Medical School morgue manager Cedric Lodge was caught selling stolen body parts online to the highest bidder. Head Number 7 explores the case and the ethical questions it raised, not only about what happens when you donate your body to science, but about the shadowy buyers and sellers who trade in human heads, skin, and bones.

The reporters come face-to-face with Tony Federico's prime target. And a development: Will modern forensics unlock the answer to who killed Cissy Stuart?

There are undeniable holes in this investigation. Was Tony Federico following the facts or seeing only what he wanted?

Rebecca and Kevin head from the woods of Maine to Washington, D.C. on a search to understand the FBI's investigations and decode cryptic scribblings about a 2007 meeting.

Believing his white whale is in his sights, Capt. Tony Federico confronts alibi witnesses and Cissy's son about what he's learned — and gets some surprising answers.

Fourteen years after Cissy's death, the new cop on the case focuses his attention on an alibi involving a trip to see the Grateful Dead.

Police focus on a relative, despite what they claim is interference from a powerful person. Then, a chance encounter leads to a shocking twist.

A young man is suspected of attacking women in Princeton. Police investigate him — and also look much closer to home.

After the shocking discovery of Cissy Stuart's body, investigators scramble to figure out who would have wanted her dead and how they did it ‘without leaving a trace.'Listen to In the Shadow of Princeton exclusively and ad-free by joining Wondery+ in the Wondery App or Apple Podcasts.
