Series for Kenny Malone
A series of tourist murders leads to a national conversation on cruel and unusual punishment for teenagers, two street artists become public enemy number one and a look at the deadly crash history of Miami's experimental express lane system. For the last year, WLRN in Miami has been bringing its audience stories about life on the final 87 miles of I-95 -- the stretch running from Palm Beach County to Miami-Dade County, Florida. In the culmination of that reporting project, "The End Of The Road," reporter Kenny Malone hosts a special hour of stories about danger and perceived danger on I-95.

A two-part investigation into the state of assisted-living in Florida. Assisted-living facilities (or ALFs) house two of the state's most vulnerable populations: the elderly and the mentally ill. Florida was among the first states to regulate the ALF industry and to introduce a Residents' Bill of Rights. Now, with almost 3,000 homes in the state and tens of thousands of people living in assisted-living, a year-long investigation by the Miami Herald and WLRN has turned up at least 70 questionable deaths due to caretaker negligence in facilities that primarily care for the elderly. And our investigation found a litany of problems with facilities that cater to the mentally ill. Day One, "The Death of Aurora Navas," focuses on the questionable deaths. Day Two, "The Accidental Life of Cannon Point," focuses on the challenges faced by facilities that care for people with mental illness.
