TRUE CRIME ROUNDUP: Summer heat is rising with officer-involved crimes and the fight to keep a killer behind bars

Memorial Day kicked off the unofficial start of summer last weekend, and with warming temperatures, some communities have reported that crime is heating up. In this episode, we’ll check in with some responses to a recent crime uptick including two officer-involved cases in Buffalo, New York. We'll also look into the murder of Deborah Humeney 50 years ago in Detroit, Mich. Now, her convicted killer might go free, and her sister explained why she’s doing everything she can to prevent that from happening in an interview with Audacy. Other cases covered include the death of Matthew Perry. Featuring audio from KNX News in Los Angeles, 1010 WINS in New York City, WCCO News Talk in the Twin Cities, KYW Newsradio in Philadelphia, WWJ Newsradio in Detroit, Marty Griffin of KDKA in Pittsburgh and WBEN News and Talk in Buffalo and WBBM Newsradio in Chicago.

BONUS: Bizarre beach tales, from fanny pack cash and tall ships to killer umbrellas and the dying Dead Sea

This week, we’re headed to the seashore for our peek into the unusual. Our first stop is Riviera Beach, Florida, where we’ll hear about the lucky recovery of a fanny pack filled with thirty thousand dollars – you’ll never guess never guess where came from. Then, we’ll sail around to New Orleans, Louisiana, on the Gulf Coast to check on the global gathering of tall ships – think pirate ships with those tall sails – for the 250th anniversary of the U.S. this summer. In the second half of the show, things will get a bit scarier. We’ll learn about a surprising summer hazard, beach and café umbrellas that turn deadly. Then, we’ll listen in to a conversation about whether the Dead Sea is doomed to dry up soon. Featuring audio from the Bob Rose Show out of 97.3 The Sky in Gainesville, Tommy Tucker out of WWL in New Orleans, the Dana & Parks Show out of KMBZ in Kansas City and Adam & Jordana out of WCCO News Talk in the Twin Cities.
