    I adore Stephanie and Derek. The scripts are great, the banter is great (even though I typically don’t care for back and forth banter on true crime podcasts) Thank you for all your hard work!

S3 Ep341: The Case That Doesn’t Add Up | The Unanswered Death of Christian Griggs (Part 3)
Q: What do you think about this series of events that Pat laid out during the reenactment?
There are two sides to every story, and though Pat might have been justified in firing the initial shots, the continued firing raises the question of whether lethal force was necessary.
S3 Ep335: Cardi B’s Viral Court Testimony
Q: So here's my question from a law standpoint, because I've been watching the trial and I've been wondering...
It's not illegal to turn around and say, like, get the hell away from me, bitch. Like, it's not illegal to call people names.
S3 Ep336: Six Shots, Six Minutes | The Unanswered Death of Christian Griggs (Part 1)
Q: What was the situation like for Christian Griggs before the shooting?
Christian was in a complicated custody situation with his estranged wife, struggling to maintain his relationship with his daughter amidst ongoing familial tensions.
S3 Ep333: Baby Emmanuel’s Parents Charged With Murder
Q: What do you think about Rebecca's possible culpability?
If she cooperates and provides credible evidence against Jake, she might get a deal, but her involvement in the false kidnapping could complicate her case.
S3 Ep334: Amy Bradley: Our Interview with Brad Bradley (Part 5)
Q: What other theories do you believe could have happened to Amy?
My theory is that after being last seen with Yellow, she was handed to an accomplice and taken off the ship through service elevators before being smuggled away.
