According to vulture.com, a press release states that Reed “agreed to look into it. But then someone else ended up dead, and another story began to unfold – about a nasty feud, a hunt for hidden treasure and the mysteries of one man’s life.”

It’s released under Serial Productions, a collaboration between award-winning Serial creators Sarah Koenig and Julie Snyder and This American Life, with Ira Glass and Starlee Kine on the team.

The first Serial, in 2014, focused on the 1999 murder of Hae Min Lee and the attention it generated contributed to the granting of a retrial for the man convicted of her murder, Adnan Syed. The second delved into the case of a US soldier, Bowe Bergdahl, accused of desertion.
