True Crime with Kimbyr

The Shannon McNamara case is one of the most haunting and ultimately most inspiring true crime stories to come out of Eastern Illinois University.
In June 2001, 21-year-old Shannon McNamara, a bright athlete, physical education major, and beloved Alpha Phi sorority sister, was attacked in her off-campus apartment in Charleston, Illinois. She was just weeks into her summer, with her whole life ahead of her.
For a brief time, the small college town was gripped by fear and unanswered questions. Who could have done this, and how close to home was the danger, really?
What Shannon left behind would lead detectives straight to the truth, and her memory would go on to inspire a movement that has protected women across the country ever since.
In this episode of True Crime with Kimbyr, we trace the full Shannon McNamara case: who she was, the night that shattered a campus, the investigation that followed, and the extraordinary legacy of a young woman who refused to be a victim.

The Brittney Brashers case is one of the most haunting true crime stories to come out of Colorado in 2009. That year, in November, 22-year-old Brittney Brashers, a young Air Force veteran who had served in Iraq, died in what first appeared to be a terrible car crash on the drive home from Denver.
Her ex-boyfriend, Robbie Walters, walked away with barely a scratch. But almost nothing about that crash added up: the wreck wasn't severe enough to explain her death, and investigators couldn't shake the feeling that they were looking at something far darker than an accident.
Was it a tragic accident or something else? Why did one person survive the crash unharmed while Brittney did not? And what evidence finally forced authorities to take a second look at a death that had officially been ruled "undetermined"? In this episode of True Crime with Kimbyr, we trace the full Brittney Brashers case: who she was, the night of the crash, the investigation that refused to close, and the fight to uncover the truth.
