b'Today, we\\u2019re taking some time out of our regularly scheduled programming to share the first episode of \\u201cThe Coldest Case in Laramie.\\u201d In the new series from The Times and Serial, Kim Barker, a Times investigative reporter, digs into the 1985 murder of Shelli Wiley, a young woman who was a few years older than Kim when they both lived in Laramie, Wyoming. \\n\\nThe long-unsolved case took a turn in 2016 when the police arrested someone for Shelli\\u2019s murder: a former officer named Fred Lamb. The evidence against him seemed solid, but prosecutors, confusingly, dropped the case. They\\u2019ve never refiled. \\n\\nHow did a case that seemed this open-and-shut fall apart with such a whimper? To find answers, Kim heads back to Laramie and grapples with conflicting memories and dueling narratives.\\n\\nIn episode one, Kim starts to call up Shelli\\u2019s family members to try to piece together what happened.
