In this special episode, Kristi Lee sits down with survivor and advocate Jessica Baker to chat about their appearance on CTV’s The Social earlier this week.

Meaningful, thoughtful, respectful and factual. No valley-girl talk and opinion. The host speaks about feelings of ‘imposter syndrome’ in some of the discussions with guests but she’s better than 95% of ‘real’ journalists!
I could listen to Kristi Lee all day, one of my favourite story tellers of all time. Having been a long time fan I’ve watched a passion project turn into a team, who strives to create factual and respectful shows while compassionately honouring those impacted by such tragedies. Great work folks. Thank you sharing.
Listened intently to the Pacific Junction Murders. I live close to the Pacific Junction Road and I have heard so much about this story. You touched on every point of what I knew the story to be. FYI: Betty is buried in a graveyard not very far from the Pacific Junction Rd. Also, I have visited (but didn’t stay the night) at the Dorchester Jail BNB. I highly recommend that tour if you are ever in that part of NB!
Is a powerhouse of strength and endurance. May her future come with the love and respect she fully deserves.
Please ignore all the misogynistic and right wing morons lambasting your reporting. Any type of journalism will have a bias. Whether you have the intelligence to see through it is another. I’m sure there are plenty other true crime podcasts with the right politics (aka thinking that women love being sexually assaulted) for those men. However, I was disappointed with the latest episode about the Erin Patterson case. Kristen spent 10 minutes discussing how she and the host of Australian true crime... more
