Chronicle 15: "The Wrong Car"

Author: Nicole Turner September 27, 2021 Duration: 32:51

This episode is rated a 5 (on my Serious Crime Scale). It’s the story of one South Carolina college student who was simply trying to be responsible and call a ride share after a night out drinking with her friends. When a black Chevy Impala pulled up beside her, the student got in, thinking it was the Uber ride she ordered… but, instead, it was a terrible, evil person waiting for her behind the wheel of that car… and that person would go on to brutally attack her, leaving her for dead on the side of the road. This episode is titled “The Wrong Car”… and it’s bound to make you think twice before hopping into that next Uber or Lyft.

Nicole Turner has spent her career within the walls of academia, and now she brings that unique perspective to Campus Crime Chronicles. As both a professor and an administrator, she understands the complex ecosystem of a college campus-the rhythms of student life, the pressures, the closed communities, and the specific vulnerabilities that can exist. This podcast digs into cases that occur in these unique settings, from long-unsolved mysteries in campus libraries to modern-day digital crimes that spread through university networks. Each episode is built on meticulous research, examining not just the "what" of a crime, but the "why" these environments can become a backdrop for tragedy. You'll hear about cases that made national headlines alongside obscure incidents that reveal deeper systemic issues, all analyzed through Nicole's informed lens. The goal isn't just to recount events, but to explore the lasting impact on victims, families, and the very idea of a campus as a sanctuary. For anyone fascinated by true crime but weary of the same well-trodden stories, this series offers a distinct and thoughtful niche. Tune in for a compelling blend of investigative narrative and institutional insight, where every story begins at a place meant for learning.
