The 1984 Murder that Transfixed D.C.

from City Cast DC · host City Cast

The horrific murder of Catherine Fuller transfixed Washington in 1984. And now, nearly 40 years later, it’s the subject of a book by former D.C. public defender Tom Dybdahl. He convincingly argues that several innocent young Black men were unfairly convicted. He’s here to tell us about what happened — and what’s still happening. On a happier note, we’ve got some BIG NEWS. Next week, both this podcast and our sister newsletter Hey DC are going all-in on Valentine’s Day prep. Get psyched for the D.C. Love Kit from February 6 to 10. We’ve got travel recs, dating advice, friendship advice, and more. And we’d love your suggestions too, so call in with what YOU want to hear.
