In Part 3 of #JusticeforBeth, Cameron Jay introduces listeners to the man responsible for killing Beth Buchanan and injuring Julie Buchanan- Cesar Raudales Macias.

Cesar Raudales Macias was driving on the wrong side of the road at speeds over 80MPH and under the influence of alcohol (blood alcohol content of .24) when he collided with the Buchanan's car in February of 2023. He would be transported to an Athens hospital to undergo surgery for his own injuries. But, Cesar would be released from the hospital to his parent's home. When authorities went to make their arrest? Cesar Raudales Macias had fled.

The episode details Lieutenant David Witte of the Barrow County Sheriff's Office's investigation into Cesar, the shocking revelation that their suspect was now a fugitive, and details how listeners can help in finding this man. Cesar Raudales Macias is described as a 26-year old hispanic male, five feet 8 inches tall and weighing around 165 pounds. He has black hair and green eyes and was last seen in Athens-Clarke County, Georgia.

In Part 2 of #JusticeforBeth, we return to the early morning hours of February 13, 2023. Beth Buchanan was en route to Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport with her mother, Julie, who had a flight to catch back to California after a weekend in Athens. But, something would go terribly wrong.

A driver on the wrong side of the road would collide with the Buchanan's, taking Beth's life instantly and seriously injuring her mother. Listen in as Julie recounts these harrowing moments, and as her family tells the story of how they came to know of the nightmare that was just beginning.

The collision was more than just a terrible accident. Instead, you'll learn that one driver's decision to get behind the wheel of a car would alter the Buchanan family forever. Hear from Lieutenant David Witte as he recounts the scene of the crash and the start of an investigation that would be filled with twists and turns...

In the inaugural episode of "Justice for Beth" we delve into the vibrant life of Beth Elaine Buchanan, a promising graduate student at the University of Georgia whose journey was tragically cut short by one man's decision to drive under the influence of alcohol. Through intimate interviews with her mother, father, and sister, we explore the essence of who Beth was beyond the headlines.

With heart-wrenching honesty, Julie Buchanan, Beth's mother, reminisces about the joy Beth brought into their lives and the dreams she held close to her heart. Beth's father, alongside her sister, shares cherished memories, painting a vivid portrait of a young woman dedicated to her studies in psychology and passionate about making a difference in the world.

As we navigate through Beth's life story, we uncover the depth of her character, her unwavering determination, and the profound impact she had on those around her. Join us as we honor Beth's memory, celebrating her accomplishments, and embracing the love that continues to bind her family together even in the face of tragedy.

Tune in to "Justice for Beth: Part 1" as we embark on a journey of remembrance, resilience, and the enduring spirit of a beloved daughter, sister, and friend.

In this special update of Classic City Crime- and the final episode in the coverage of infant Jonathan Foundling, host Cameron Jay sits down to catch up with former Unviersity of Georgia Police Chief Chuck Horton and former Assistant Police Chief Connie Sampson to hear from them what the solving of this case means for them, 27 years later. We also sit down and talk with Dr. Janet Frick of the University of Georgia's Psychology Department to help us not only make some sense of this tragedy, but to also uncover how we as a community can work together to make sure nothing like this ever happens in The Classic City again.

In this special update of Classic City Crime, host Cameron Jay explores how the case of an infant baby boy was solved. The infant, named Jonathan Foundling by investigators, was discovered in the basement bathroom of the Oglethorpe House Dormitory at the University of Georgia just over 27 years ago. In recent weeks, investigators at the University of Georgia Police Department informed the community that the baby's mother had been identified through Genealogical DNA testing provided by Othram Inc. The mother's name? Katherine Grant. Grant was a student at the University of Georgia in 1995 and 1996, before transferring to another school. She would return to the University of Georgia after graduation, working for the College of Veterinary Medicine until her death by suicide in 2004.

In this first follow up episode, Cameron Jay sits down with Tracy Grant- the brother of Katherine Grant and the now-identified uncle of Jonathan Foundling to discuss the startling reality that is now his: not only did he have a nephew he knew nothing about, but police now believe his sister to be responsible for the baby's death. We also talk with a former colleague of Katherine's-- did she know anything was wrong?

In Part 5, host Cameron Jay pays homage to Fox 5 Atlanta’s Randy Travis, a seasoned investigative reporter who singlehandedly gave the murders of Robbie Bryant and Genelle Helms the attention it deserved all those years ago. Randy will confirm some of what we have already learned, while explaining why this case mattered so much to him. Here's Randy's story mentioned in the episode: https://www.fox5atlanta.com/news/baby-kelsey-at-29-im-so-much-stronger-than-this-story

You’ll then hear from Kesley Bryant, the daughter of the slain couple, discuss how the loss of her birth parents has affected every aspect of her life– but also how she’s managed to work through those hardships and is leading a successful life she hopes her parents can now be proud of.

We’ll end the episode by speaking with ACCPD Police Chief Jerry Saulters, who explains where the case currently stands- and who authorities have their sights set on in the modern day.

In Part 4 of Robbie and Genelle, host Cameron Jay centers the podcast on the one man at the center of the entire investigation: the uncle of victim Genelle Helms. The investigation quickly centered on the Florida man, claiming that there was motive, means, and opportunity. What was that motive? And how did this investigation not only affect the lives of those who loved Robbie and Genelle– but how did it affect the young couple’s nine month old baby? We’ll address all of this and more.

In Part 3 of Robbie and Genelle, host Cameron Jay revisits the murder. In January of 1994, the young couple with their entire futures ahead of them were brutally murdered in their Athens home. Together, we’ll examine the initial police report, learn what friends were told of the murder and the crime scene, and we’ll learn that there were- at least initially- several avenues for investigators of the Athens Clarke County Police department to explore. You'll also hear from Dr. David Waldron of Federation University in Australia, who helps us understand why the couple's fascination with Dungeons and Dragons might have garnered the attention of investigators in 1994.

In Part 2 of Robbie and Genelle, host Cameron Jay dives deeper into the lives of Robbie Bryant and Genelle Helms as a couple, and how the birth of their baby girl changed their entire worlds just nine months before they were murdered.

We learn that the two were heavily invested in a local gaming group, which partook in everything from Live Action Role Playing outdoors on the fields at the University of Georgia, to Dungeons and Dragons. Together, we’ll learn that in this friend group, there was much more than meets the eye. Learn more about their interesting lives- and romances- by listening now!

In Part 1 of Robbie and Genelle, host Cameron Jay takes listeners back to 1994 in Athens, Georgia, where Robbie Bryant and Genelle Helms were first getting their start in life. The episode will teach you more about both of them as individuals: who were they? What did they enjoy doing? What do their friends have to say about their lives?

We begin here because understanding who the victims were and how they lived their lives is always a key part in understanding why the young couple might have been murdered in 1994…and who might be involved.
