7: Two Teens Blackout and Commit Murder…Or Did They? | Kent Heitholt

On Halloween night, 2001, Columbia, Missouri, was quiet until the body of Kent Heitholt, a beloved sports editor for the Columbia Daily Tribune , was found brutally beaten and strangled in the newspaper’s parking lot. The crime scene was chaotic. Two janitors claimed to have seen mysterious men nearby.  It would take two years before a tip from a college student led detectives to a shocking confession. But that confession, and everything that followed, would unravel one of Missouri’s most controversial murder cases. Was justice served? Or did the wrong men pay the price for a crime that still raises more questions than answers? 🔎Join Our True Crime Club & Get Exclusive Content & Perk  Join The Club: https://www.patreon.com/annieelise 🎧 Need More to Binge?  Listen to both of my weekly true crime series 10 to Life & Serialously with Annie Elise wherever you get your podcasts on the Annie Elise Channel! 🍎Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3WpfSP8      Where you can also unlock access to 100+ and growing extra exclusive deep dives. 💚Spotify: https://bit.ly/AnnieEliseSpotify   🎙️All Other Platforms: https://bit.ly/annieeliseaudioboom 📸Follow Annie on Socials  Instagram: https://instagram.com/@_annieelise   TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@_annieelise Substack: https://bit.ly/AnnieEliseSubstack   Facebook: https://facebook.com/@10tolife 👗Shop Annie’s Must-Haves!  ShopMY: https://bit.ly/annieelise_shopmy   Amazon: https://bit.ly/annieelise_amazon   ⭐ Sponsors  Sundays Food for Dogs: go to http://sundaysfordogs.com/10tolife and get 50% off your first order.
