Season 2 of Kyle Olson’s “Love & Justice,” premiering May 26, re-examines Andrew Wieman’s 2001 death at UC Davis, a case officially ruled suicide after the 20-year-old was found in his fraternity room.
Olson said the ruling still raises questions because Wieman had 29 stab wounds, several fatal, no drugs or alcohol in his system, and was reportedly found tucked into bed wearing earplugs.
The podcast also probes a roughly 60-hour gap between Wieman’s last confirmed sighting and the discovery of his body, asking whether witnesses may now be willing to speak after 25 years.
Authorities concluded suicide after a 13-month investigation, citing a handwritten note, Wieman’s fingerprints on his own knife, a locked room, secured windows, and no signs of forced entry or defensive wounds.
Olson said the series is not pushing a fixed theory but uses modern forensic reconstruction and outside experts to test whether the official account remains feasible.
