7 OCT 2026 · Hi, Death Island listeners! We're excited to share with you a sneak peek at iHeartPodcasts' latest release, What Happened to Her!  What Happened to Her: For four seasons, investigative reporter Melissa Jeltsen has told the stories of women whose lives — and deaths — were shaped by the failures of the systems meant to protect them. Now she's widening her lens, with new episodes every week. In What Happened to Her, Melissa takes on the stories that won't let her go. Women whose deaths were too quickly ruled suicides. Women no one believed. Cases everyone else called closed. Some weeks, a mystery unfolds across multiple episodes. In others, Melissa sits down with fellow investigative journalists and podcast hosts to go behind the scenes on the cases — and the women — they just couldn't shake.  Listen to What Happened to Her on the iHeartRadio App or wherever you get your podcasts!See https://omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
