Episode notes
Lost Hills has been quiet for a bit, so we've decided to do something different: turn this feed into a home for a new kind of story, told fresh each season. Starting this fall, this feed becomes Examined — a show about overlooked cases that never got the real investigation they deserved and need to be unpacked. These are stories about crime, punishment, and the people caught inside the criminal legal system. Every season, a new host will dig into one of these stories with the kind of in-depth reporting you’ve always heard in this feed. First up: Examined: The Backfire Effect,…

Speaker 1:Hey, if you've been with this feed for a while, thanks for sticking around and listening. I'm Josie Duffy Rice. I'm a journalist who covers the criminal legal system, and you'll hear more from me soon. But right now, I'm coming to you today with an exciting announcement. Things are changing a bit around here, and I want to tell you why and what to expect. Lost Hills has been quiet for a little bit, so we've decided to do something different. Turn this feed into a home for a new kind of story, told fresh each season. Starting this fall, this feed becomes Examined, a show about cases that never got the real investigation they deserved. Every season, we'll dig into one of those stories with the kind of in-depth reporting you've always heard in this feed. And every season, it'll sound a little different because we're bringing in a new host each time, someone suited to that season's story.
Speaker 1:So that leads back to me. Again, I'm Josie Duffy Rice, and I'm the first host for Examined, my season, The Backfire Effect, is about a guy who was convicted of murder 40 years ago. That was in spite of the fact he has nearly a dozen alibi witnesses that put him across the state the day of the crime. This is a story of police misconduct, prosecutorial zeal, and about a very complicated man. That's coming starting September 14th, so stick around. I'm sure you have questions, so here are a few things to know. Previous episodes of Lost Hills aren't going anywhere. Every season that's already out stays right here.
Speaker 1:So if you haven't heard it or you want to revisit it, it's all still yours. And be sure to stay subscribed so you'll get all the new episodes coming up. And there's lots more to come. We'll be sharing multiple seasons a year rather than just one because we want to bring you more of the stories you crave. And one last thing, we want to hear from you. What overlooked cases have stuck with you? What are the ones you think about? The one that nobody has really told right?
Speaker 1:Email us at info at pushkin.fm. It might shape a future season. Thank you for staying with us. It's going to be worth the wait.

Episode 2: The Hypnotist
Temujin Kensu spent much of his youth wandering, mainly in his home state of Michigan. In 1986 he and his then-fiancée moved to a cabin outside Port Huron, where he briefly dated someone else. A few weeks later, he and his fiancée moved again, more than 400 miles away, to Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. He says he was there on November 5, 1986. But that didn’t stop police from accusing him of a murder he said he could never have committed.

A reunion between two retired detectives brings new focus to the Aujay investigation, just as Hayley and Betsy find out about another tragedy in the Punchbowl area. When a woman and her father are shot dead in deputy Engels’ home, the fatalities should’ve prompted the sheriff’s department to take a harder look at the alleged dirty deputy. But, instead, the LASD tries to bury the matter and — just like in the Aujay case — the deaths are ruled suicides. Hayley and Betsy press the department for answers about these and other suspicious deaths that occurred in…

Episode 5: The Legend of Bigfoot | Valley of Shadows
Decades before Jon Aujay’s disappearance, the Devil’s Punchbowl was infamous for something else: Bigfoot sightings. Sasquatch became a known boogeyman in the area.

As detectives Brandenburg and Hager look into their colleague, they uncover a surprising connection to the Aujay case. Hear the full Valley of Shadows soundtrack here .
