It was 1994 in DeLand, Florida when 15-year-old Laralee Spear was getting off the school bus just like any other day, but she would never make it home. Laralee was abducted and murdered at an abandoned and burned-out house just a ¼ mile from her home on Deerfoot Road, and the person, or persons, responsible have yet to be apprehended. For the last 30 years, investigators with the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office have been working tirelessly to solve her case. Even recently announcing a $100,000 reward for anyone that might have information that leads to an arrest and conviction of Laralee’s killer. In this special crimeHQ session, join Sheryl “Mac” McCollum and lead detective on the case Cordell Lemay, as they take members into the life of Laralee Spear, her death, where the case sits now and what we can do as a community to help.

We're always searching for the next podcast to binge and we know you are too so we're starting something new for all of us: The crimeHQ Podcast Club. Think of it like a traditional book club but for podcasts. Together, we'll all listen to a new podcast over 1-2 months (this will vary depending on pod length). We'll have all episodes posted in crimeHQ. Feel free to go at your own pace but after you listen to an episode, head to the bottom of that episode page to leave your thoughts and comments so we can all discuss together. Subsequently, we'll all meet for a special live event and Q&A (or 2!) in crimeHQ with the podcast host and maybe some surprise guests directly involved in the podcast. What you'll get from Podcast Club You'll get a few great benefits from participating: Your new favorite podcast (maybe!)
