“We were there for protection.” That’s the storyline John Steven Olausen told police after he was arrested for the 1979 murder of undercover Reno Police Officer James Hoff. He and two others were waiting by the Truckee River in Reno past midnight and, along with a fourth man, took part in Hoff’s killing as part of a drug deal gone bad. This fourth episode of Solutions Season 2 features a never-heard-before interview between Steve Olausen and Reno Police Department detectives. This firsthand account of Hoff’s killing gives the perspective of one of the perpetrators of the crime both from ’79 and today: He claims he acted in self-defense.Learn more about this series, and listen to all of the episodes, here: https://thisisreno.com/solutions/

November 05, 2018 Solutions Season 2, Episode 3: The Setup
There have been few events that shocked the Reno community as much as the 1979 murder of undercover Reno Police Officer James Hoff. Jimmy, as he was known, was allowed by the Reno Police Department to engage in a drug deal that ended his life. While most put blame on the four youth who were found guilty of Hoff’s murder, retired law enforcement, and Jimmy’s stepbrother, also say that RPD supervisors never should have allowed the deal to go down the way it did.Two of youth were sentenced to life, and two others were sentenced to death for their role in Hoff’s killing. Steve Olausen’s sentence was later changed to life without the possibility of parole.In addition to Jimmy’s stepbrother, this episode features interviews with retired police who knew Hoff. We also speak with the former girlfriend of the killer who remains on death row. Kellie Morrissey-Schmanski speaks publicly about what lead up to the fatal drug buy.Learn more about this series, and listen to all of the episodes, here: https://thisisreno.com/solutions/
