On October 4th, 1978, in Iowa, a woman was found face down in a deep ditch about twenty feet from the road. No identification was found with her body, and being in an advanced state of decay, police had no way to determine who she was.

Join Mike and Morf as they discuss Wilma June Nissen. Years later, the police were able to identify the woman through fingerprints as Wilma June Nissen. The investigation into her death began from there. Wilma's daughter, Krissy, joined us for this episode to discuss her mother's life and her fight for justice.

Each Saturday night, the details of history's most infamous crimes are unpacked and examined in Criminology. Hosts Mike Ferguson and Mike Morford move beyond the headlines to explore the full scope of a single case, from the initial events and investigation to the lasting impact and unanswered questions. Their approach is thorough, presenting the facts and narratives that have defined these well-known stories, yet they avoid sensationalism in favor of a clear-eyed analysis. You'll hear a methodical reconstruction of each episode's subject, providing context and perspective that goes deeper than a standard retelling. This true crime podcast is built for those who appreciate a detailed narrative, released consistently every weekend. The result is a engaging and thoughtful examination of criminal history, one famous case at a time. Tune in for a comprehensive dive into the annals of crime, where the focus is on understanding the how and why behind the stories we think we already know.
