The Coldest Case in Laramie is a true crime podcast[1] produced by Serial Productions and The New York Times[2] and hosted by Kim Barker.[3] The eight episodes podcast[4] debuted on February 23, 2023.[5]

The podcast is about a cold case, the unsolved murder of Shelli Wiley, a 22-year-old student at the University of Wyoming,[6] that took place in 1985,[7]inLaramie, Wyoming.[8] After she was killed her home was set on fire.[9] Barker, who grew up in Laramie[10] and has worked as a war reporter in Afghanistan and as a correspondent in New Delhi and Islamabad,[11] started investigating the case during the COVID-19 pandemic.[12]

The podcast contains archival audio related to the case.[13] The show was criticized by James Marriott in The Times, who said that "the idea that anyone could consider this horrible tragedy a promising source of entertainment baffles me".[14]
