Faulty Metallurgy - Trent DiGiuro

On a humid Kentucky night in July 1994, Trent DiGiuro, a rising star on the University of Kentucky offensive line, was sitting on his front porch just three days away from his 21st birthday. Without warning, a single rifle shot rang out from the darkness 100 yards away. Trent was gone before his friends even realized what the sound was. For six years, the case remained one of Lexington’s most haunting mysteries. The breakthrough didn't come from a forensic lab or a high-speed chase, but from a secret whispered in a bar and a woman who had the courage to wear a wire. In this episode of True Crimecast, John and Jamie explore the life of the "big teddy bear" who walked onto the UK team and the wealthy, privileged peer who allegedly could never forgive a social slight.
