Murder in Rivercrest Pt. 1 | Signal 51 Chronicles

After a long hiatus (yes, we heard you), Signal 51 Chronicles is back—this time on the Sunset Lounge DFW platform alongside Mike Rhyner, Norm Hitzges, and Mac Engel. John Henry and retired Fort Worth PD sergeant Jake White ease back into things the only way they know how: with a drink, a new Police Blotter segment, and some truly ridiculous reports featuring runaway tractors, cow-assisted arrests, and a drunk who allegedly lets his dog take the wheel

Then they turn hard into the case that shattered the illusion of safety in one of Fort Worth’s most exclusive neighborhoods. In March 1992, Rivercrest—land of country club views, alarm systems, and guard dogs—woke up to the brutal murder of philanthropist Karen Koslow and the near-fatal beating of her husband, Jack Koslow. John and Jake walk you through the scene, the difference between burglary and home-invasion robbery, why detectives immediately suspected an inside job, and how Jack quickly moved to the top of the suspect list.

But just as the case seems to be closing in on the husband, a phone call on March 24, 1992 blows everything open: a frightened young man, bloody evidence, and a new direction for the investigation. This is Part 1 of Murder in Rivercrest: The Koslow Case—the House on Clark Avenue.
