From the publisher
The matriarch of a prominent Princeton family is found stabbed to death in her locked basement in 1989. Why would anyone want to kill Cissy Stuart, one of the Ivy league town’s most well-known characters? The shocking investigation sprawls across decades, as police turn their attention from a serial attacker, to her son, to a group of Princeton University students who said they were at a Grateful Dead concert at the time of the killing. The hot-blooded investigator sees a conspiracy. Is he way off base? Or does privilege let you get away with murder?

SOMEONE'S HUNTING US: A new series from the creators of In The Shadow of Princeton
The creators of 'In the Shadow of Princeton' and 'Father Wants Us Dead' bring you a new true crime series about a serial killer you've never heard of and the women who took him down: Someone's Hunting Us. In 2016, a serial killer was preying on Black women and girls he thought no one would miss — and getting away with it. Police in New Jersey never suspected that Khalil Wheeler-Weaver, a nerdy-looking, polite young man from a law enforcement family, was the one stalking the streets and dating apps for his next target. Like 'Father Wants Us Dead' — called one of the best true crime podcasts of all time by Entertainment Weekly — 'Someone's Hunting Us' is a deeply-reported story that honors the victims, investigates the investigators and gets inside the mind of a killer that fooled everyone. ----------- Check out our website for more about our reporting, plus photos and video footage, including Khalil Wheeler-Weaver’s full interrogation video: https://someoneshuntingus.com Have a question, an idea for our next show, or other feedback?
