Episode 28 The Cogswell Hall Murders

A freshman boy is found murdered in his dorm room at Gallaudet University. But the campus’s tight security means that the only person who could be the killer is someone on the inside. Panic enshrouds the school, and in an effort to get everything under control, detectives make a quick arrest. But when another student is killed four months later, everyone realizes it’s worse than they thought; not only was the original defendant innocent, but one of their own students is a serial killer.

Episode 24 Thomas Meixner

The Department of Hydrology and Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Arizona had a very problematic student. After Dr. Thomas Meixner gave Murad Dervish a failing midterm grade, Murad began displaying increasingly violent behaviors. But while Dr. Meixner and several of his faculty appealed to the University administration and UA police force several times, little was done to deter Murad’s violent outbursts. And though the university expelled Murad, the act would only serve to further enrage him, and Dr. Meixner became the target. On a quiet afternoon in October of 2022, Murad Dervish shot and killed Dr. Meixner in his own office, leading to an outcry from UA faculty that prompted the university to audit and revamp its safety procedures.

Episode 22  The Ecole Polytechnique Massacre

Quebec experienced intensive social upheaval over the course of the 20th century, affecting everything from university structures to social commentary. In 1989, Quebec women were gaining more and more footholds in previously male dominated careers. And while the Ecole Polytechnique was at the forefront of female academic empowerment, one disgruntled young man was on a mission to eradicate feminism. In the span of twenty minutes, the enraged killer murdered ten women and injured several others for the crime of trying to graduate with degrees in engineering. In the aftermath of his violence, Quebec was forced to reckon with its national views on feminism, as well as its policies on firearms.

Introducing Exposed: Cover-Up at Columbia University from Wondery

Dr. Robert Hadden was a trusted OB-GYN at Columbia University. Friendly, caring, unassuming… and behind the closed door of exam rooms, one of the most prolific sexual predators in New York City. During his 25-year career, he assaulted hundreds, perhaps thousands, of patients, under the guise of medical exams. Those who tried to warn Columbia were ignored or not believed. When it appeared that no one — not Hadden, not Columbia — would be held to account, it was the survivors who undertook a decade-long fight for justice.

From Wondery, Exposed: Cover-Up at Columbia University is a story about power: who has it, who loses it, and what it takes to get it back.
