This episode is rated a 5 (on my Campus Crime Scale). In October of 2017, Texas Tech University police officer Floyd East Jr. reported to the dorm room of 19-year-old sophomore Hollis Daniels III for what was supposed to be a routine wellness check. But what began as a wellness check on a college student would soon spiral into an unthinkable tragedy. By the end of the night, Officer East was lying on the floor of the Texas Tech Police Department, suffering from a fatal gunshot wound to the head — a wound inflicted at the hands of Daniels. And Daniels was nowhere to be found. What followed was a massive, multi-agency manhunt across the Texas Tech campus. And approximately 90 minutes later, Daniels was finally located, taken into custody, and charged with the capital murder of a police officer. Listen now to hear the full story.

This episode is rated a 5 (on the Campus Crime Scale). In August 2025, a University of Kentucky student and cheerleader gave birth to a baby inside her bedroom at the off-campus home she shared with several other students. But she told no one. Instead, she kept the entire thing a secret — even from the roommates living just feet away. Later that same day, police arrived at the home, and the young woman was detained and questioned about what had happened inside her bedroom. And within days, she was under arrest and facing charges of abuse of a corpse, tampering with physical evidence, and concealing the birth of an infant. So… what exactly happened inside that house? And how did a college student manage to hide something this significant from the people living under the same roof? Listen now to hear the full story.

You might remember my 100th episode of Campus Crime Chronicles, where I covered the tragic death of Tim Piazza, a fraternity pledge at Penn State University in State College, Pennsylvania. Tim died in 2017 after a horrifying night of hazing and excessive alcohol consumption. And in that episode, I dug deep into his case — including the long and deeply disturbing history of alcohol-fueled hazing within Penn State’s Greek Life community, as well as the sweeping changes the university implemented in the aftermath of Tim’s death. But apparently, some members of Penn State’s Greek Life community didn’t get the memo. Because nearly a decade later, the parties are still raging. Except this time, they’ve apparently traded copious amounts of alcohol for a whole lotta cocaine. Listen now to hear the full story.

Every caller reported the same horrifying scene: a man armed with a large hunting knife was walking through campus, stabbing students seemingly at random. Listen now to hear the full story.

This episode is rated a 5 (on my Campus Crime Scale). When 19-year-old college sophomore Christa Sallani failed to show up for her evening shift at a convenience store in Sheridan, Wyoming, her friends and family immediately knew something was wrong. Christa was responsible and dependable. Being a no-call, no-show simply wasn’t like her. What followed was a missing-person investigation, a mysterious phone call, and two primary suspects — until police finally uncovered the truth about what happened to Christa Sallani.

This episode is rated a 5 (on my Campus Crime Scale). On a frigid February night in 2015, Monroe County deputies responded to a quiet, upscale neighborhood just outside Rochester, New York. Inside one of the homes, they discovered a shocking scene: a man had been brutally shot and killed. But before investigators even had a chance to piece together what happened, someone stepped forward and confessed. Nineteen-year-old Charlie Tan, an Ivy League student with no criminal history, immediately admitted that he had pulled the trigger. He told authorities that he HAD to shoot his father to protect his mother from years of domestic abuse. At first glance, the case seemed straightforward. Charlie confessed. His father was dead. The evidence appeared clear. But as investigators dug deeper, they uncovered a story far more complicated than anyone could have imagined — one that would divide a community, raise questions about justice, and force many to ask whether Charlie Tan was a cold-blooded killer... or a son who believed he had no other choice.

This episode is rated a 3 (on my Campus Crime Scale). When a group of college students from Assumption University decided to stage their own version of “To Catch a Predator” for clicks, views, and social media attention… well, let’s just say things did not go the way they expected. Because instead of exposing a predator, they ended up facing serious criminal charges themselves. Listen now to hear the full story.
