Not taking this case seriously is a huge injustice to Anish and his Mom Sassi. The team at Strangeland does a super job of breaking down what we know. How is the way the police handled this acceptable. Thanks for telling the story and let’s keep pushing to get justice for this little boy.
I have loved each season of this show. It is so well investigated and reported, and truly showcases stories and perspectives we don’t hear often enough.
I follow Crime Junkies, The Deck and Counterclock and if you too enjoy these especially the longer format investigative style you’ll definitely enjoy Strangeland. Kept me gripped.

The first two seasons were fantastic. Bailed a few episodes into season 3- it just had no energy.
