How police in US are using the power of podcasts to crack unsolved murders
Houghton and Vartarian had just been assigned to Elgin's new cold case unit in 2024 when the chief informed them that the job would also involve podcasting.
"We're already starting this new unit," Houghton recalls. "Why are we adding something else new on top of that?"
Houghton and his partner begrudgingly began figuring out how to arrange episodes and soon discovered the process was also helping them structure the investigation. They formed different theories about what had happened to the missing 23-

Greyhounds bound for Australia as New Zealand racing ban takes effect
At least two chartered flights carrying up to 150 greyhounds are set to fly to Australia's eastern states, as a New Zealand ban on the sport comes into effect.
Several greyhound trainers in New Zealand are responding to a new ban by moving their dogs to Australia with plans to continue in the sport, governing body Greyhound Racing New Zealand (GRNZ) told the BBC.
While the ban across New Zealand takes effect on Saturday, the practice remains legal almost everywhere in Australia.
The ban was first announced in
What triggered the mass migrant crossings into Ceuta?
Over the last 24 hours, the tiny Spanish territory of Ceuta - home to around 83,000 people - has seen an unprecedented surge in migrant arrivals.
An estimated 60,000 people from Morocco are believed to have crossed into the North African enclave that has long been a focal point for migrant attempting to reach Europe.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed to the BBC earlier reports of an Israeli strike on Gaza just hours after Trump announced the deal , in which it was reported that several Palestinians were injured.
More than two million Palestinians are living in terrible conditions in Gaza,
Bowen: Plan for Hamas to disarm faces big obstacles, yet it offers rare hope for Gaza
There are many reasons why it might not work.
At the same time, it is potentially a rare chink of light in a bleak picture. Hamas has never agreed to disarm before now. Handled carefully and well, there is a chance now to make diplomatic progress.
A bargain lies at the heart of the new proposition for Hamas to disarm in Gaza.
The idea is that as Hamas hands over its weapons, Israel pulls out of the 70% of Gaza that it occupies.
That may sound simple, but
