By Kat Rooney| Podcast Review@ The Coldest Case in Laramie, the latest podcast from Serial Productions and The New York Times, is as much about the unsolved murder of Shelli Wiley as it is about the town she was murdered in. Host Kim Barker, an investigative reporter for the Times, grew up in Laramie, Wyoming, where Wiley was killed in her apartment in 1985, and her home set on fire. Barker was a teen at the time, and Wiley was a student at the University of Wyoming.
