On this episode, host Bob Garrett and Lookout staff writer Emmett Roman, examine the 2005 murder of LCC professor Carolyn Kronenberg and the effort to bring her story from the depths of the LCC archives. Through old newspapers, campus records, and a sculpture preserved in the archives, they explore Kronenberg’s life, her impact on students, and the changes to campus safety that followed her death. The conversation explores the importance of preserving memory, what may fall to the side when we seek justice, and how we honor those who are too easily forgotten.
