And Valerie is the best reporter and colleague. A much deserved kudos.

The Journal's series "Camp Swamp Road" is a Pulitzer finalist!!! This is the first time @wsj has been a finalist in the audio category, which is very cool. I'm so happy that the reporting of @vbauerlein and the work of our team has been recognized. pulitzer.org/finalists/vale…

Sometimes, big stories come from small places. The Wall Street Journal's @vbauerlein dug into the police coverup that ensued after a car chase and killing near Myrtle Beach. The results were breathtaking and infuriating. This story and all the others are worth your time.






TODAY: Going LIVE on Wednesday, Feb. 4 at 12PM. I'll be joined by @WSJ’s @vbauerlein to talk about my new book #DigMeAGrave and what it was like to prosecute South Carolina’s most notorious serial killer, Pee Wee Gaskins. Watch on X, FB, or TikTok. Bring your questions. 🗓️ Feb 4 | ⏰ 12PM




@vbauerlein @WSJPodcasts This podcast is amazing. Heartbreaking. Disturbing. Incredible reporting. Fantastic production, writing, etc. Thanks to the entire team!
