Lou Anna Red Corn is the first Native American woman appointed and elected as the Commonwealth Attorney of Lafayette County in Kentucky.
In this episode, Lou Anna shares the details of how she prosecuted famous cases, including the murder of Trent DiGiuro. DiGiuro was shot and killed on his front porch in 1994, just 3 days shy of his 21st birthday. For 5 years, DiGiuro's murder went unsolved until a young woman came forward to expose the identity of the murderer, Shane Ragland. Lou Anna explains the process of how she prosecuted Ragland.
Lou Anna also talks about her identity as a part of the Osage Nation, and how David Grann visited her aunt's home to write the book Killers of the Flower Moon. The book was published as a movie by Martin Scorsese in October 2023.
