Listener Tales 111: Camping Tales · Jun 25, 2026 True Crime

What looked like a weird but harmless encounter was revealed when police later arrested the same man — who had two firearms in his van and had threatened to kill everyone in the area. The French bulldog's perfectly-timed projectile vomit may have been the only thing that kept the guns in the bag.

Andrea Burkhart: Robinson Evidence Overwhelms Kohberger's
