The Starved Rock Murders with Andy Hale

Andy Hale

Booking Overview

This is a host-led investigative true-crime limited series focused on a historic murder case, wrongful conviction claims, legal developments, and DNA evidence, with occasional interviews with directly relevant authors or experts. A PR agency could credibly pitch wrongful-conviction attorneys, criminal justice investigators, forensic or DNA specialists, and authors of closely related books; booking difficulty is medium because guests need strong subject-matter relevance and credible investigative or legal credentials.
