Original Airdate: 02/08/22 - This woman, like any loving mother would do anything to protect her kids from this unpredictable world turned into a highly overprotective mother who took the law into her own hands when her own son was molested by a Christian summer camp worker who had a previous history of child molestation. Many supported and heralded Ellie Nesler as a hero but that was before a sensational trial that would reveal a side of Ellie Nesler the public had not seen before and this side would raise serious doubt about Ellie's actions.

Melissa Herstrum: A Campus Killing Revisited

This week on Women & Crime, we’re sharing a case from our sister podcast, Campus Killings, while we take a short holiday break.

In January 1992, 19-year-old Melissa Herstrum was a nursing student at the University of Toledo with her whole life ahead of her. But when her body was discovered in a campus parking lot, the investigation quickly revealed something deeply unsettling,

In this episode, we revisit Melissa’s story and the shocking betrayal at the center of her murder. We look at campus safety, institutional trust, power, authority, and what happens when the person wearing the badge becomes the threat.

Sources note: Core case details verified against contemporary reporting and later parole coverage, including reports that Melissa Herstrum was a 19-year-old University of Toledo nursing student killed in 1992 by University of Toledo police officer Jeffrey Hodge.
