## Resource

KJ and Jim open with major developments in the search for missing Baton Rouge teen Ja’Derrius Minniweather, as police recover remains from a landfill they believe belong to the 15-year-old. Then we track the latest delay in the Madison Brooks trial, another unexpected twist in the Alex Murdaugh saga as his retrial gets a change of venue, and the chilling case of a Florida sheriff’s deputy accused of kidnapping and killing his ex-girlfriend.

A 45-day manhunt for murder suspect Isabelle Johnson finally ends. A man literally smashes a hole through an apartment closet wall to attack a teenager.
