S2 E12 - The Sad Case of Stephanie Nieman

About this episode

The episode discusses the tragic case of Stephanie Nieman, who was kidnapped and murdered, and the subsequent attention on her killer's execution.

In 1999, 19-year-old Stephanie Neiman was kidnapped, shot, and buried alive in Oklahoma after witnessing a violent crime. Her killer, Clayton Lockett, was sentenced to death; his botched 2014 execution drew national attention, but her family urged focus on Stephanie’s courage and tragic loss.
