Two murders reveal how Baltimore's obsession with managing the perception of crime can be deadly

Update: 2023-10-16

Description

The recent killing of local tech executive Pava LaPerre revealed many uncomfortable truths about Baltimore's struggle with crime. After BPD Police Commissioner Worsley admitted the department withheld the identity of LaPere's killer Jason Billingsley after he was suspected in crime before her murder, police came under scrutiny for not being forthcoming. Host Taya Graham and Stephen Janis are joined by legendary investigative reporter Jayne Miller to explore how the breakdown in communication is actually part of deeper problem cause by how the city approaches violent crime.
