In 2002, in the city of Aurora, Illinois, an 18-year-old man named Jeff Signorelli was killed in a completely random act of violence. His murder remains unsolved.

In the years following Jeff's murder, his parents Al and Mary Ann led efforts to make Aurora a safer place. But those efforts put them at odds with leaders in Aurora, including the mayor and chief of police. As the investigation into Jeff's murder grew cold, their grief was amplified by a growing frustration.

City of Lights is a true crime podcast about real life after the crime. Instead of asking "whodunnit?" or "how?" or "why?," the question it seeks to answer is "what now?" What do you do when your only child, on the brink of his adult life, is taken away? And what do you do when you love a city that just won't love you back?

All six episodes of City of Lights drop on February 4th, 2026.
