Vault Studios, a digital content studio focused on true-crime storytelling, is launching āSelena: A Star Dies In Texas,ā which chronicles the life, murder, and legacy of Tejano superstar Selena Quintanilla-PĆ©rez.
The production company, owned by Tegna, has worked with its family of Texas TV stations to uncover rare footage and interviews with Selena, her family and close friends, as well as key figures in the murder investigation and subsequent trial and conviction of Yolanda SaldĆvar.
On the 25th anniversary of Selenaās murder, Vault released aĀ preview of the podcast, which will launch May 6. The six-part series will be narrated by Rudy TreviƱo, KIII-TV news anchor and host of “Domingo Live” and syndicated Tejano Gold Countdown radio show.
āSelena was a once-in-a-generation talent who inspired fans around the world,ā says Adam Ostrow, chief digital officer at Tegna.
The new podcast āseeks to pay tribute to her legacy while telling her story to a new generation of music lovers and true crime fans.ā
Twenty-five years ago, Selena was already a legend in the Tejano music world and on the verge of superstardom. On March 31, 1995, Selenaās close friend and fan club president pulled a gun from her purse and fired a single bullet. Selena was pronounced dead a short time later.
With access to an archive of rare and never-before-heard audio from Tegnaās network of TV newsrooms, Vault presents a new version of the shocking story.
Created in 2019, Vaultās initial slate of programming focuses on true crime, cold cases and unsolved mysteries from Tegnaās 62 TV stations in 51 markets. Its offerings are available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Play, Stitcher and Tegnaās owned-and-operated digital platforms.
