100th Celebration with author Rita Schuler

100th Celebration with author Rita Schuler

This week, we welcome back Rita Schuler to talk about everything from her books to the Alex Murdaugh murders in the Lowcountry of South Carolina.

Gwendolyn Elaine Fogle's murder remained a cold case for 37 years until the dogged work of two detectives. Investigators periodically revisited the case over the years, but it remained the department's top cold case for thirty-seven years. Special Agent Lt. Rita Shuler worked on the case shortly after she joined the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED), and she just couldn't let it go, not even after her retirement in 2001. In May 2015, Lt. Shuler teamed up with new investigator Corporal Gean Johnson, and together they uncovered key evidence that had been overlooked. With new advancements in DNA and fingerprint technology, they brought the case to its end in just four months. Join Shuler as she details the gruesome history of this finally-solved case.

Listening to Rita's experiences was insightful and a testament to law enforcement professionals' dedication and hard work. If you're interested in learning more about these fascinating cases and Rita's perspective, be sure to check out her previous episodes on Crime Capsule.
