Murder in a Safe Place, The Sherry Crandell Case | Profiling Evil

In 1998, 50-year-old nurse and hospital administrator Sherry Crandell was raped and murdered inside her office at Prince George’s Hospital Center — a place she should have been safe. Despite DNA, fingerprints, and even an eyewitness, the case stalled for almost 30 years.

In this episode, I sit down with investigative journalist Paul Wagner, host of American Nightmares: Murder in a Safe Place, to break down the crime that shook Cheverly, Maryland. We explore the original investigation, the controversial DNA dragnet inside the hospital, and the relentless work of a retired detective who refused to let this case die.

Most importantly, we look at how investigative genetic genealogy finally identified Edward Barry Watts — also known as Baari Shabazz — as the man who murdered Sherry Crandell in 2025. Paul’s reporting played a major role in keeping attention on this cold case, and today we talk about what this long-awaited breakthrough means for Sherry’s family and for the future of genetic genealogy in solving violent crimes.

If you follow cold cases, genealogy-based investigations, or behind-the-scenes reporting from the people who never quit, this conversation will take you deeper than the headlines ever did.
