The Missing Piece
2026/02/26 | 54 mins.
After ESPN publishes an explosive article on the Miami-Dade police investigation’s shortcomings, the police arrest Rashaun Jones for Bryan’s murder.

Soon after, they get a lucky break: a person in the same jail as Rashaun tells them exactly what they want to hear. But there seems to be more to his testimony than what is presented.

Meanwhile, Rashaun sits in jail for years, awaiting trial. But his day in court is finally coming.

We’ll be back with the final episode of Murder at The U when The State of Florida v. Rashaun Jones wraps.

The Teammate
2026/02/19 | 50 mins.
The night of Bryan’s murder, one other player failed to show up for the mandatory team meeting. From there, rumors began to swirl. Could that teammate have killed Bryan?

His family seems to think so, but some coaches and players aren’t so sure. Over ten years later, Paula and the team dig into the mountain of circumstantial evidence pointing the police towards Rashaun Jones.

But with no physical evidence linking Rashaun to the crime, the team begins to wonder: is Rashaun guilty or did he fall victim to an unfortunate set of circumstances?

Everybody’s a Suspect
2026/02/17 | 1h 2 mins.
Paula and the reporting team begin asking who would have wanted Bryan dead, only to discover a long list of possible suspects.

As the team starts to chase down leads, Bryan’s world outside of football – fixing up classic cars, getting into fights at clubs, and living like a local celebrity– comes into focus.

But as certain details crystallize, more questions arise around the information that led the police to eventually make an arrest.

About Murder at The U

In 2006, Bryan Pata was a senior defensive tackle for the University of Miami with a bright future ahead of him. The NFL was right around the corner, and he was months away from being able to buy his mom a house. Instead, one night in early November, Bryan was shot dead outside his apartment complex coming home from practice. From 30 for 30 Podcasts, Murder at The U tells the story of the shocking, high-profile murder that rocked the college football world and what happened when a team of ESPN reporters tried to get to the bottom of who killed Pata. Now, a suspect has emerged—who is headed to trial—and he is none other than one of Pata's teammates. Episodes drop Tuesdays and Thursdays starting 2/12.
