Killinois With Bird and Cam

Bird, Cam, and journalist Deb revisit Molly Young's 2012 death in Carbondale, Southern Illinois, after Jackson County elections raised hopes for new officials to recheck the case.

["Killinois With Bird and Cam opens as its first episode of 2021, moves from a Bears game on Nickelodeon, and turns to the March 23, 2012 death of Molly Young in Carbondale, Illinois.", "Molly's sister Holly Powell and mother Kathy Young describe her as artistic, intellectual, and depressed at times, and the episode notes a national photography competition placement, journal writing, and a thyroid-cancer scare that ended in surgery.", "Richie Minton, a 911 dispatcher, is presented as Molly's manipulative boyfriend, with Kathy saying he threatened to kill himself whenever she tried to leave and Holly saying Molly feared how he would treat children.", "The sharpest questions come from the 911 call, the overdose-to-gunshot shift, and the claim that Richie's lawyer and parents arrived before Molly's family understood what had happened."]
