You've probably never heard of Barbara Jean Jepsen, but in 1956 her murder made headlines. Jepsen's husband found her stabbed to death at their home in Van Nuys. She was four months pregnant at the time. At one point, Liberace's brother was a suspect. So were several soldiers at a local military base. Now, more than six decades later, the Jepson cold case is back open.  Stephanie Lazarus was once a well-respected Los Angeles police detective. But she had a big secret. Lazarus killed her ex-boyfriend's wife, and got away with it for more than two decades, until DNA caught up with her. It all came crashing down when cold-case investigators made the arrest.   Our guests are Det. Mario Santana, Det. Rachel Evans, Det. Ken White, Det. Marc Martinez from LAPD's Valley Bureau Homicide and Matthew McGough, who wrote the true-crime book "The Lazarus Files."  If you have any information on these or other murder cases, call Valley Bureau Homicide at (818) 374-9550.

We all do it! In fact, you're doing it right now, right? We're talking about breathing the air around you. The American Lung Association recently issued a report card for cities across the country. In Los Angeles and the counties of Southern California... we got an F. We failed. In fact, we failed in 19 of the last 20 years. To the lung association 80% of that is because of the cars on our roads and freeways. To the South Coast Air Quality Management District (AQMD) it's mostly the big trucks. The AQMD says it has been working hard on converting trucks to zero-emission vehicles. The lung association says that despite the failing grade there has been much progress over the years in improving the air we breath. But, doctors say they're not necessarily seeing a corresponding improving in patient health. In this podcast we hear from the AQMD's Wayne Nastri and Dr. Philip Fine. Also joining us is Will Barrett from the American Lung Association.
