True Crime Story returns with a new episode, “It Couldn’t Happen Here: Wahpeton, ND,” airing on SundanceTV on April 25, 2024. Hosted by Hilarie Burton, the episode shines a spotlight on a murder case in the small college town of Wahpeton, North Dakota.
The episode centres around the death of a student whose body is discovered in the river, prompting questions about the role of law enforcement in the tragedy. Burton, a native of small-town America herself, looks into the unique challenges of seeking justice in tight-knit communities.
Through her advocacy-focused approach, Burton aims to give a voice to those affected by violent crimes in small towns, where the impact can be particularly devastating. She meets with family members and local insiders, exploring the emotional fallout of the crime and the specific issues in the judicial system that arise in non-metropolitan locales.
True Crime Story airs on SundanceTV at 10.00 pm on Thursday, April 25, 2024.
