Questions About This Episode

What is Murder at the U about?

In 2006, University of Miami football player Bryan Pata was shot outside his apartment coming home from practice. On the ten-year anniversary of the death, police invited ESPN to look into the cold case. The reporters found cops had many viable suspects, including a teammate with a compelling motive and shaky alibi. But the journalists also came to find their law enforcement sources to be unreliable partners, and eventually their story turned into both a quest to find Pata’s killer and an investigation into the investigation. From ESPN’s 30 for 30 Podcasts comes “Murder at the U.” Host Paula Levine takes listeners through her team’s exhaustive multiyear reporting into Pata’s death and its many suspects. With a murder trial about to begin in Florida, the podcast also focuses on the police and prosecutors who started as collaborators on their reporting, but eventually became impediments.
