“Hush” is an investigative podcast from OPB, uncovering the buried truth about critical stories in the Pacific Northwest. In season 2, Leah Sottile and Ryan Haas investigate the 2019 death of Sarah Zuber, and the ways declining local media, citizen sleuthing and a police department that can’t find answers have led to serious rifts in rural Columbia County, Oregon — as well as the damage done when true crime tropes take over.
