About this listen

 The cool waters of the Catawba River, drifting through the quaint suburbs of Charlotte, North Carolina became the backdrop of a horrific tragedy discovered by passing jet-skiers who were just out for a day on the water. A car had run down the banks of the river and lying next to it was the body of Ira Yarmolenko, a popular young college co-ed. The ligatures wrapped tightly around her neck signaled death by asphyxia, and led investigators to conclude she'd been murdered... The circumstances surrounding her death, as well as the ensuing investigation left a community gripped in fear while cops conducted an intense manhunt to solve a real 'whodunit'. They narrowed their sites on two fishermen close by, cousins, and eventually charged them with Ira's murder. Follow the twists and turns as Fedora, a Los Angeles-based media company, re-investigates the circumstances surrounding the death of Ira Yarmolenko. Have the police truly 'got their man', or is their still a murderer walking yet among us?2022 Politics & Government True Crime

    Investigative Producer Ben Cozzo takes the listener back to that day...when it first happened. It was early spring, just before noon when jet-skiers moved closer to a car that looked like had traveled down a hill and landed on the river banks... Dennis and Brenda thought someone might need a little help. As they inched closer to the river-bank, no one could have prepared them for what they found...it was a body, a body lying there.
