TRUE CRIME ROUNDUP: New study claims Kurt Cobain was murdered, but police say the case is closed

from The On Deadline Podcast

This week, we’re going to discuss a new study that suggests grunge rock icon Kurt Cobain didn’t die by suicide, but that he was murdered. Before we get to the Cobain case we’ll also listen in on an interview with an official with Leavenworth County Attorney Todd Thompson. He spoke to Audacy about a heartbreaking case where a mother was found guilty of manslaughter of her 25-day-old baby. And, to start we have some updates to high profile cases – the Nick Reiner and Nancy Guthrie cases – as well a murder investigation underway in the Bay Area. Featuring audio from KNX News in Los Angeles, WBEN News & Talk in Buffalo, KCBS Radio in the Bay Area, the Dana & Parks show out of KMBZ in Kansas City and Scoot out of WWL in New Orleans.
