Today’s guest is someone we’ve admired for years, ABC 20/20 correspondent Chris Connelly. Chris has been telling powerful, human-centered stories for decades, from his days profiling the world's biggest stars at Rolling Stone and MTV to his in-depth sports reporting at ESPN to his current work at ABC, where he covers major news events and compelling true crime cases. He’s covered everything from the Olympics to high-profile criminal cases, always with that trademark mix of insight, respect, and depth. And now, he’s the host of Cold Blooded: Mystery in Alaska, a gripping new podcast about the killing of Dr. Eric Garcia in Ketchikan, Alaska. We had such a great time talking with Chris about the case, his career, his approach to storytelling, and why empathy matters when telling stories like this one. Follow Chris @chriscconnelly on Instagram.  Listen to Cold Blooded: Mystery in Alaska, out now wherever you get your podcasts. You can catch it weekly on Tuesdays in its own dedicated feed Weekly on Wednesdays in the 20/20 podcast feed.
