After garnering critical acclaim, amassing over 21 million downloads and winning an iHeartRadio Podcast Award for Best Crime Podcast, “Man in the Window,” the investigative series from the L.A. Times and Wondery, is dropping two new episodes to update listeners on the story.
Reported and narrated by Times Staff Writer and Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter Paige St. John, the eight-part series launched in June 2019, tracing the Golden State Killer’s path of devastation through the eyes of police and his victims, while also examining how society once viewed sexual assault.
