In the second episode of Who Killed Strawberry, the true crime podcast on the unsolved murder of Tamara 'Strawberry' Greene, connections are explored between Kwame Kilpatrick and the exotic dancer.
While Kilpatrick, a man who rode in the back of limos, had his own security team, a law degree and lived in a mansion, may not have anything in common on the surface with a single mother and exotic dancer, their stories are more complicated than that.
This episode explores the lives of Kilpatrick and Greene in the early 2000s, when 'the only more popular African American man in the country was Barack Obama,' according to historian Ken Coleman.
And Tammy, for her part, was gearing up and excited to open up a store for exotic dancers and settle down to raise her family.
Instead of a grand opening, Greene was on an autopsy table, and 20 years later her death remains unsolved.
