Into the Weeds Podcast -Athena Hogan Case Files Part 9

Tonight we continue our deep dive into the 1986 murder of 10 year old Athena "Tina" Hogan of Lawton, Oklahoma. In this episode, we'll continue working through the original court transcripts, examining the testimony, evidence, and investigative decisions that shaped one of Oklahoma's most heartbreaking child murder cases. Rather than relying on rumors or sensationalism, we're going directly to the source documents to understand what happened and what questions still remain decades later. This series is part of my ongoing effort to preserve the historical record and make these documents accessible to the public. Every episode brings us one step closer to understanding the full story. If you lived in Lawton during this time, knew Athena or her family, or have information that may help preserve the history of this case, I'd love to hear from you.
