   Episode 3: The Tragic Story of Kalief Browder

   Episode 3: The Tragic Story of Kalief Browder At just 16 years old, Kalief Browder was arrested after being accused of stealing a backpack. Although he maintained his innocence from the very beginning, he spent more than three years at New York City's Rikers Island awaiting trial—without ever being convicted of a crime. During those three years, Kalief endured repeated violence, prolonged solitary confinement, and more than 30 court appearances as his case was repeatedly delayed. Even after the charges against him were dismissed, the psychological trauma of his incarceration followed him long after he walked out of Rikers. In this episode of Missing In Color, we examine Kalief's life before his arrest, the failures of the criminal justice system that kept him incarcerated, his fight to rebuild his life after his release, and the lasting legacy his story left on criminal justice reform in the United States. Trigger Warning: This episode discusses incarceration, violence, solitary confinement, mental health, and suicide. Listener discretion is advised. If this episode resonated with you, please consider following Missing In Color, leaving a rating or review, and sharing this episode with someone you think would benefit from hearing Kalief's story.

   Episode 2: The Mysterious Death of Kendrick Johnson

   Episode 2: The Mysterious Death of Kendrick Johnson On January 10, 2013, 17-year-old Kendrick Johnson walked into Lowndes High School in Valdosta, Georgia, and never came home. The following morning, his body was discovered upside down inside a rolled wrestling mat in the school's old gymnasium. Investigators ruled his death an accident caused by positional asphyxia. But a second autopsy commissioned by Kendrick's family reached a very different conclusion, sparking years of public debate, federal investigations, and continued calls for answers. In this episode of Missing In Color, we examine Kendrick's life, the timeline leading up to his death, the official investigation, the independent autopsies, the Department of Justice review, and why this case remains one of the most debated deaths in recent history.
