The Murder of Donnah Winger (Part 2)

from Suspects & Spirits · host Taylor Serafin

What once appeared to be a clear-cut case begins to unravel as investigators take a second look at the evidence. In Part two, we explore a troubling timeline, overlooked physical details, and new testimony that raises serious questions about a story that was accepted far too quickly. As long-held assumptions are challenged, the investigation moves back inside the Winger home...where the truth proves far darker and far more complex than anyone first believed. Got a story to tell?
