Crime Central: Lexington, Kentucky
Monday 19 Jan 1.00PM

Other towns may have famous buildings, bridges, or monuments.
But Lexington is famous for its farms. Stables that have reared
the finest thoroughbred racehorses to ever grace a winner's
circle.

Although if you don't play the ponies, Lexington is still a sports fan's paradise. University of Kentucky basketball runs neck and neck with racing for the title of Lexington's premier pastime. And in the summer of 1994, thanks to head coach Bill Curry, it looked like the Wildcat Football team was headed for a Cinderella season.

It was certainly shaping up that way for offensive lineman Trent
DiGuiro. A senior from Oldham County Kentucky, in the summer of
1994, DiGuiro was a freshman walk-on whose hard work earned him a spot in the starting line-up. Trent's classmate Shane Ragland,
on the other hand, was more familiar with a police line-up. The
son of a wealthy real estate developer, Shane had racked up an
impressive criminal record including possession and drunk and disorderly charges.

As a freshman pledge, Shane's bragging about sleeping with a
fraternity member's girlfriend got him blackballed out of the
frat. And steamed at DiGuiro, who'd apparently passed word of
Shane's claims to the upperclassman. By senior year the feud
seemed forgotten.

So forgotten that, when a sniper with a high-powered rifle
mysteriously gunned Trent down outside his apartment during a summer keg-party, no one suspected Ragland at all. The murder, which stunned the quiet college town would remain unsolved until the year 2000.
