Paula Lavigne: Murder at the U
About this episode
The episode discusses the investigation into the 2006 murder of a star football player at the University of Miami, featuring insights from reporter Paula Lavigne.
This is our second ESPN story about the intersection between sports and murder. ESPN was asked by the Miami-Dade Police to look into the 2006 murder of a star football player at the University of Miami. What reporter Paula Lavigne found was a complicated victim, a questionable suspect, and a police department that likely regrets calling ESPN to begin with. She tells me about the story at the center of her podcast: “Murder at the U."
