    Meanwhile in Mankato (1): Lies, Silence & Murder in Minnesota
    Nov 6 2025
    In 1965, seventeen-year-old Brian Hendrickson committed a small-town murder when he walked into a gas station outside Mankato, Minnesota, and shot clerk Ray Dahms twice at close range. Sentenced to forty years, he served just over five.The case would later be remembered as the Mankato Gas Station Murder. In this opening episode of Dakota Spotlight’s twelfth season, host James Wolner takes us back to 1965 and the small town of Rapidan, Minnesota. We meet the classmates and friends of Ray Dahms, shot down at the age of 18 in this Minnesota murder case — people who have never forgotten him. The episode traces Ray’s final hours on September 25, 1965, and introduces us to seventeen-year-old Brian Lee Hendrickson, whose own path that night would lead to tragedy at Rothfork Truckstop in Blue Earth County, Minnesota. Dakota Spotlight is a true crime podcast dedicated to investigative journalism, revisiting cold cases and small-town murders across the Midwest.

    A Halloween Throwback – Unresolved: The Murder of Joel Lovelien
    Oct 30 2025
    On October 27, 2007, Joel Lovelien stepped outside the Broken Drum Bar in Grand Forks, North Dakota, during a night filled with costumes, celebration, and heavy drinking. Moments later, he was found in the parking lot, gravely injured. Despite a rapid emergency response, Joel did not survive. For this Halloween throwback, Dakota Spotlight revisits the first episode of Unresolved: The Murder of Joel Lovelien — a true story that began with a party bus, a crowd in costume, and a tragedy that left behind more questions than answers. Through interviews, trial evidence, and police reports, journalist James Wolner reexamines one of North Dakota’s most haunting unsolved cases — and the night that changed a community forever.

Incredible storytelling! The host's (James) sincerity & heart is evident throughout each season of the podcast. I was in awe of his patience when questioning a particular mealy mouthed law enforcement representative in the Barbara Cotton case. He remained calm, kind but persistent in his questioning. James is incredibly respectful in his interviews with friends and famimy members on all sides of a story. Very responsible reporting in my opinion.

Incredible storytelling!
