WTOP's American Nightmare Podcast Season 2 Out Today


WTOP News has announced the launch of season 2 of its American Nightmare Podcast Series: Murder in a Safe Place. Season 2 focuses on a cold case that has haunted the D.C. region for over 23 years - the brutal rape and murder of a 50-year-old nurse inside the Maryland hospital where she worked. Throughout the podcast, veteran D.C. crime reporter and podcast host, Paul Wagner, searches for answers and clues to Sherry Crandell's death.

Throughout the podcast, listeners will hear from Crandell's children, former colleagues and the detective who has been in charge of this case since the beginning.

"Murder in a Safe Place is one of those stories that grips you right from the start. For 23 years, three siblings have been searching for answers to their mother's death. We're hopeful the release of this podcast will help bring to light new information that can aid in the investigation."

In addition to telling a heart-wrenching story, Wagner also brings to light evidence that has never been made public before this podcast.

"When I started working on this podcast a year ago, I thought I already knew everything there was to know about this case," Wagner said. "I couldn't have been more wrong. What I've learned as I've investigated this case has genuinely shocked me. I'm excited to share this new information with listeners as they come on this podcast journey with me."

Season 2, Episode 1 is available for download now on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, Podcast One, and at AmericanNightmarePodcast.com.

American Nightmare: Murder in a Safe Place is the highly anticipated sequel to the critically-acclaimed and award-winning podcast, 22 Hours: An American Nightmare, which debuted in June 2019. Season 1, hosted by WTOP award-winning journalists Megan Cloherty and Jack Moore, covered the horrific murder of a D.C. couple, their 10-year-old son and housekeeper inside their D.C. mansion. The podcast was honored with a regional Edward R. Murrow Award, was ranked the #2 podcast of the year by The Associated Press, and was listed among Apple Podcasts' Most Popular New Shows of 2019.
