    Chapter 1: The crime
    Sep 7 2016
    Three days after Christmas in 1978, Elizabeth Andes was one of the few students on Miami University’s Oxford campus. Most students were home for winter break, but Beth – a recent graduate – was in town packing up her apartment so she could move to Cincinnati for her first big job. That day, she treated herself by buying a fancy pair of leather boots to celebrate her successes. But she never got to wear them. Instead, her boyfriend, Bob Young, reported finding her lifeless body in the apartment they had shared during their last semester of college together. Police and prosecutors considered the death an open-and-shut case, zeroing in immediately on Young. But Beth’s friends never thought things were quite so simple. Through this podcast, The Enquirer will lay out its investigation into the cold case in hopes of finally figuring out who got it wrong nearly 40 years ago – police or the jury?

  • Chapter 2: The couple

    Chapter 2: The couple
    Sep 8 2016
    As Oxford police began investigating the city’s first murder in a quarter-century, detectives bolstered their case against the victim’s boyfriend. But did cops’ theory on motive line up with what Beth’s friends knew about the couple? Bob Young had no prior criminal record, and no one at trial testified he had even a slight temper, much less a murderous one. Despite this, police records indicate that investigators didn’t give much weight to the men in Beth’s life that her friends say warranted some scrutiny in the wake of her murder. In this episode, The Enquirer delves into Beth’s personality, her relationship with Young and her plans after college in hopes of determining whether the prosecution’s case against Young made any sense.

  • Chapter 3: The investigation

    Chapter 3: The investigation
    Sep 12 2016
    As Bob Young’s attorney noted, of all the evidence introduced in Beth’s murder trial, just one piece implicated his client. But it was a big one: a confession. In this episode of “Accused,” The Enquirer details the original investigation outlined in police records and trial transcripts, as well as the single exhibit that has some people in Oxford, Ohio, still convinced decades later that Young got away with murder.

True thriller

For me this was “I can’t wait to hear” more kind of story. I loved all the research and details plus alternative viewpoints. I think it was the boss and he was friends with the cops. But then again some of the other suggestions were very persuasive and there were a lot of serial killers around at that time.

The author did an excellent job and I am looking forward to reading, rather listening, to her presentations.

Great podcast!

After listening to this podcast, I have so many questions about this case. I believe the boss and the detective were hiding something and that's why the detective wouldn't talk about it. I think they either destroyed or hid the evidence because they knew one day they would be caught and have to pay for what they had done to the poor girl.
but then again, their is the weirdo with the bloody pincushion who could have done it. But, I dont believe for a second that it was the boyfriend!

Chaper 4 is missing from this Audible listen.

This podcast from Audible is not complete. Chapter 4 is missing from Season 1. And its kind of an important one. I posted this information in a customer service chat (twice) but the missing episode is still not available here.

I eventually downloaded (for free) all of Seasons 1, 2, and 3 from my favorite podcast app. I do highly recommend this series. Well researched and written. Carefully examines the theories and easy listening.
