About this episode
In 2022, 17-year-old Riley Whitelaw was murdered by her co-worker, 28-year-old Joshua Johnson, in the breakroom of the Walgreens where they worked. Riley had been harassed by Joshua and had made complaints to management. For a time, the two worked different schedules. But, to get more hours, Riley had to be on the schedule with Johnson.
Join Mike and Morf as they discuss Riley Whitelaw and her murderer, Joshua Johnson. Riley was put in a situation where she did not feel safe. Ultimately, that feeling proved correct when Joshua Johnson murdered Riley. This is a case that brings up many questions regarding how companies handle these types of situations. Many have levied that Walgreens did not do enough to protect Riley Whitelaw. What should they have done?
