When a landfill is a crime scene

FBI

A search for justice in a landfill led to a scientific breakthrough. We talk to local FBI investigators about how a Clay County murder case led to advances in forensic science and helped win a conviction in the death of Susan Mauldin.

Guests:

  • FBI Jacksonville Special Agents Lauren Regucci and Bill Logan.

Then, the incredible, edible — but increasingly unaffordable — egg. We talk to a man who started selling eggs at age 8 about soaring prices and scarcity. Jacksonville's very own "Egg Man" explains the factors driving those high prices and explores when consumers might start to see some relief at the checkout counter.

Guest:

  • Jacques Klempf, owner of Cowford Chophouse and former president of the Jacksonville-based Dixie Egg Co.

And, a local nonprofit dedicated to supporting businesses and residents on Jacksonville’s historic Eastside celebrates Black History Month with an outdoor market and parade. We talk to a founding member of Melanin Market and the event’s host about the impact and mission of the celebration.

Guests:

  • Dawn Curling, founder and president of Jax Melanin Market.
  • Anita Osuigwe-Spencer, Jax Melanin Market event host.
