News Radio WGY in Albany is launching a new iHeartRadio original podcast called “Upstate Unsolved.”
The True Crime series is hosted by WGY reporter Phoebe LaFave and it premieres Saturday. March 2 is the 21st anniversary of Suzanne Lyall’s mysterious disappearance, and the debut episode will air on WGY radio Saturday at 5:00 p.m. New episodes will be posted every Thursday on iHeartRadio and everywhere podcasts are heard. There will be ten episodes.
LaFave investigates the death of Suzanne Lyall, a sophomore student at The University at Albany who was last seen on March 2, 1998. Throughout the series, LaFave digs deep into Lyall’s mysterious disappearance and tells the story from a fresh perspective. LaFave retraces Lyall’s steps, interviews people close to her and sheds new light on the facts surrounding her case.
“This is the first ever in-depth investigative podcast series highlighting cold cases in Upstate New York,” said LaFave. “It’s our goal to bring these real stories out from the shadows because usually someone knows something and I’m thrilled that iHeartRadio is helping me bring awareness and a new layer to her story. Suzanne Lyall’s case has been covered many times and what sets ‘Upstate Unsolved’ apart is that we’re getting to the root of who Suzy really was. We’re not pointing fingers – we’re laying out the facts, bringing you back to 1998 and painting a picture of the world she lived in.”
