Athens true crime podcast âClassic City Crimeâ is in the midst of covering the solved murder case of Athenian business man and saloon owner, T. K. Harty, and will soon begin airing its second season.
During the showâs first season, Classic City Crime host and producer Cameron Harrelson, also known as Cameron Jay, extensively covered the unsolved murder of University of Georgia law student Tara Baker.
Harrelson spent 24 lengthy episodes exploring the Baker case, from June 2020 to January 2021. Yet he expanded beyond the evidence to talk about Baker.Â
âThe ability to really get to know the victim as a person is something that means a lot, and that I think a lot of investigators and journalists get wrong,â Harrelson said. âWe covered a lot of ground with the Tara [Baker] case because I spent so much time with her family and getting to know her.â
