  • Lost And Found Ep. 4: Person of Interest
    For the final episode of Lost And Found, we take a look at a label that police commonly use today, "person of interest". While wrapping up our questions about the Jodi Huisentruit missing person case, we introduce another case that is eerily similar in structure. We also find out why the label person of interest can be very harmful.

  • Lost And Found Ep. 3: Lurking in the Shadows
    If you or a loved one is currently feeling the emotional effects of stalking, call the Safe Horizon phone number at 1-800-621-4673, or visit the Safe Horizon website at www.safehorizon.org for more information on stalking and how to get on the path to a safer life.
    Stalking has been a criminal phenomenon for a very long time, but we have had difficulties finding ways to punish such behavior, until recently. Jodi's whole professional career was spent talking to those in her community, which could have included stalkers and those who were obsessed with her. Today, we look at stalking, what it is, why it happens, and what high profile women in media do to deal with stalking...

  • Lost And Found Ep. 2: A Perfect Match
    Forensic Science is a field that has overtaken courtrooms and television screens alike. These two worlds, forensic science, and media, collided when a little show called CSI was created. CSI quickly become one of the most popular science fiction shows in the world, but it came with a price. Those who watch the show are exposed to the world of forensic science and are led to believe it's an easy world to understand. This is where we get into some trouble. Today, we take a look at a media effect called the CSI Effect and see whether or not this plays a hand in the courtroom.
