The Coldest Case In Laramie

I think the reporter leaned too heavily into finding doubt and raising dubious questions in a quest to make this case seem more complicated than it is. The blood evidence and Fred’s confession point overwhelmingly to one highly probable conclusion and yet Kim seemed determined to make his guilt look improbable. I found myself yelling at her in my car - “why on earth are you helping a guilty man go free?”

I often think of how bad this was because no new evidence was uncovered and no mystery was solved. All that for nothing.

Loved the lens of a reporter going home, excellent use of historic primary source materials and empathetic interviewing to show how loose ends don’t always tie up how we wish, condolences to Shelly’s family on their loss

An excruciatingly boring reminder that not every story needs a podcast.
