In 2019, 18-year-old Sarah Zuber was found dead just 400 feet from her home in Rainier. The second season of OPB’s investigative podcast Hush focuses on the 18-year-old’s story, and the ways that citizen sleuthing, declining local media and a police department that can’t find answers led to serious rifts in rural Columbia County. We’ll listen to the first episode of the new season.

“Think Out Loud®” broadcasts live at noon every day and rebroadcasts at 8 p.m.
