Colleen Reed

You are about to hear how the murder of Colleen Reed on December 29th, 1991, by serial killer Kenneth McDuff impacted the life of her then-ten-year-old niece.

Ms. Reed was abducted from an Austin car wash shortly after Christmas by McDuff and his accomplice, Alva Hank Worley.

You can hear Worley's confession about the grizzly details of the young accountant's brutal murder in episode 6.

At the time of this recording in December 2020, Ms. Reed’s niece had spent 29 years suffering from guilt.

It is a story that none of us who worked on the case were aware of until now. 

Bill Johnston, the federal prosecutor who launched the manhunt for McDuff, and I talk with Ms. Reed’s niece to give you insight into how the trauma of violent crime affects the victim’s families forever.

We also explain why society should lock up violent offenders and throw away the key.
