In a small Tennessee town, a local serial killer was caught by the most unlikely investigators: A group of high school students, led by their teacher, Alex Campbell. Throughout the course of one school semester, the class pieced together a 30-year-old mystery and identified the killer behind at least six brutal murders. Shockingly, while the Tennessee Bureau of Investigations publicly agrees with their theory, no charges have been filed against the murderer. While some sleuthing students already have graduated, they, along with a fresh crop of current high schoolers, still want to finish the assignment, once and for all.

    Introducing: Rorschach: Murder at City Hall
    Mar 28 2026

    A shocking public shooting at New York City Hall leaves the ambitious, charismatic City Councilman James E. Davis dead, before his assailant is gunned down by a New York City cop. It turns out that Davis had been murdered by his political rival, Niel Askew. And yet all that summer, the two men had been seen around Brooklyn together, been together in James’ office, sat side by side at a barbershop. Despite the shock waves this murder sent through New York City in the summer of 2003, the story is now forgotten, along with the mystery of what really happened between these men. RORSCHACH: MURDER AT CITY HALL recounts their final fateful day through eye-witness accounts, and then traces the path that led James Davis and his killer Niel Askew to their deaths.

Thank you K.K., from MFM, for your recommendation. I blew through this podcast in one day while baking cakes and cleaning house. What an incredible story. Gosh, we need to give teachers like Mr. Campbell spotlights and praise, and give our students the opportunity to work to their potential and learn in new and interesting ways. I was blown away. Can't wait for season two. A truly incredible story that gives me so much hope for our future. Just wow on so many levels - the teacher, the students, the producers, the XQ Institute, and everyone else involved. Just WOW.

Tragic horror turned to hope and healing
