| Ep. 100 | Gisèle Pelicot: No Shame, No Silence, No Mercy [Part 1] | 03 mars 2026 | 01:52:15 | |
Story starts at 9:49 ***** For nearly fifty years, Gisèle Pelicot believed she was living an ordinary life — a long marriage, grown children, grandchildren, and a quiet retirement in the south of France. But in 2020, a police investigation revealed a truth so unimaginable it would shock the world. For almost a decade, her husband had been secretly drugging her with powerful sedatives, leaving her unconscious night after night. While she slept, he raped her — and invited dozens of strangers into their home to do the same. Doctors had spent years searching for explanations for her memory loss, exhaustion, and mysterious illnesses, never realizing the symptoms were not medical at all. They were evidence of a crime happening in plain sight. By the time authorities uncovered the truth, investigators had identified more than seventy men connected to the assaults and documented years of abuse carefully recorded by the man she trusted most, her husband Dominique, to whom she had been married for almost half a century. This is a story of betrayal, survival, resilience and the case that forced an entire country to confront the reality of hidden violence. This is the story of a woman refusing to stay silent, a woman determined to make shame change sides. ***** Find all of A Trial by Podcast's links in our Linktree below: Click here for all of our links!

| Ep. 099 | Child Sexual Abuse in the Catholic Church: Boston [Part 2] | 24 févr. 2026 | 01:10:52 | |
In the summer of 2001, newly appointed Boston Globe editor Marty Baron spotted a buried allegation in a court filing: Cardinal Bernard Law had knowingly reassigned a priest, John J. Geoghan, despite prior allegations of child sexual abuse. Baron didn’t hesitate. He handed the lead to the Globe’s elite investigative unit, the Spotlight Team, tasking them with a simple but ominous question: Had the Archdiocese of Boston knowingly protected a child abuser? The team thought they were digging into one man’s crimes. What they uncovered instead was a sprawling, decades-long conspiracy of silence. By the end of 2002, the Spotlight Team had identified over 150 priests in the Boston Archdiocese credibly accused of sexually abusing children—many of them shielded by Church leadership, quietly reassigned from parish to parish while their victims were left in darkness. And the scandal didn’t stop there. In July 2003, Massachusetts Attorney General Thomas Reilly released a report that stunned even the most hardened investigators: from 1940 to 2000, 237 priests and 13 other Church employees had likely abused at least 789 children in the Boston Archdiocese alone. The real number, Reilly warned, was likely far higher—over 1,000 victims, many of them still too ashamed, afraid, or broken to speak. This is the story of how four reporters, two editors, and one researcher took on one of the most powerful institutions in the world—and exposed a massive, institutional cover-up of child sexual abuse inside the Catholic Church.

| Ep. 097 | House of Cards: Jean-Claude Romand [Part 2] | 10 févr. 2026 | 01:13:09 | |
On a freezing January night, a house on the French-Swiss border burned to the ground, leaving behind the bodies of two small children and their mother. Miles away, their grandparents were also found dead. Only one member of the family survived. Jean-Claude Romand—a respected doctor and World Health Organization researcher—was pulled from the flames barely alive, mourned as the tragic victim of an unimaginable loss. Friends believed he had built a beautiful life for his family, bravely battling cancer for years to protect it. Now, everything he loved had gone up in smoke, and no one could understand why. Investigators initially suspected that maybe Jean-Claude himself had been the target, perhaps because of the classified, high-level research he conducted for the WHO. Those who knew Jean-Claude had no inkling what exactly that research was, they knew only that it was of international importance. But as police searched for answers, the story they had expected to uncover began to unravel. They learned that Jean-Claude’s research wasn’t classified, it didn’t exist. In fact, he had never worked at the World Health Organization. He wasn’t even a doctor. Everything friends, family and neighbors knew about Jean-Claude was a carefully constructed façade, hollow at its core. And with every lie exposed, the central question grew darker: had Jean-Claude’s web of deception placed his family in danger… or was Jean-Claude responsible for the annihilation of his wife, his parents, and his own children?

| Wife of Crime | Kristen Gilbert: The Killer Nurse | 05 févr. 2026 | 01:31:37 | |
On this episode of Wife of Crime I'm telling Russ about a serial killer nurse named Kristen Gilbert! Kristen seemed like an amazing nurse, she had it all together at home and on the job. She was the nurse co workers counted on because she knew her stuff, but when the number of deaths in the ICU started rising every time Kristen worked a few coworkers started noticing a pattern. As her fellow nurses watched more closely they began to ask the unfathomable question ... was Kristen killing the patients? or Was this all a coincidence? What they found was more sinister than they could have ever imagined. Socials: Instagram - @wifeofcrimepod Patreon - Patreon.com/wifeofcrimepod Tik Tok - Wife of Crime | |||

| Ep. 095 | The Powell Family Murders | 27 janv. 2026 | 01:37:55 | |
Click here to complete the listener survey! In December 2009, Susan Powell vanished from her Utah home after her husband, Josh Powell, claimed he’d taken their two young sons on a spontaneous, late-night winter camping trip. Almost immediately, his detached demeanor and shifting explanations raised red flags. As investigators looked closer, a darker picture came into focus: a controlling marriage, Susan’s escalating fear, and a handwritten letter she had secretly written—one that warned if anything happened to her, it probably was not an accident, even if it looked like one. Still, without a body or definitive proof, the case stalled, and Susan seemed to vanish into uncertainty. For more than two years, Susan’s family begged for action, but police seemed to be waiting for something—waiting for more evidence, for Susan to be found, who knows. Horrifically, that waiting would prove catastrophic. In 2012, the case ended not with resolution, but with unimaginable violence that wiped out what remained of the Powell family. Susan Powell’s body has never been recovered, and the question at the center of it all remains unanswered. What happened to Susan Powell? This is A Trial by Podcast—and we’ll let you be the judge.

| Ep. 094 | The Victims of Dr. Farid Fata | 20 janv. 2026 | 01:36:53 | |
Click here to complete the listener survey! Imagine being told you have cancer—a diagnosis that instantly upends your life—and then enduring months or even years of brutal chemotherapy. Now imagine learning that your doctor forced you to undergo three to four times the standard amount of treatment, or kept you on chemotherapy long after you were in remission, all while you believed you were still fighting for your life. Worst of all, imagine undergoing months or years of chemo, only to later discover that you never had cancer at all—and that your doctor knew it the entire time. These nightmares became reality for hundreds of patients in Michigan under the care of Dr. Farid Fata, an oncologist who betrayed the very people who trusted him with their lives. In one of the most egregious cases of medical fraud in U.S. history, Fata subjected healthy patients—or those with minor, manageable conditions—to unnecessary, devastating cancer treatments, all to enrich himself. This is the rise and fall of Dr. Fata. Find all of A Trial by Podcast's links below: Click here for all of our links!

| Ep. 093 | Unbelievable: The Rape of Marie Adler | 13 janv. 2026 | 01:42:16 | |
Click here to complete the listener survey! In August 2008, 18-year-old Marie Adler called 911 in terror, reporting that a masked man had broken into her Lynnwood, Washington apartment, bound her with her own shoelaces, and raped her for hours. At first, police treated the case as a serious violent assault, but as the days passed their focus shifted from finding a suspect to scrutinizing Marie herself. They fixated on minor inconsistencies in her account and on her “flat” emotional response, interpreting her trauma through suspicion rather than understanding. Doubt deepened after one of Marie’s former foster mothers contacted police to suggest she might be lying, and detectives began pressing Marie relentlessly, re-interviewing her again and again until she finally broke and wrote a statement admitting that she had made the whole thing up. Marie was charged with filing a false police report, publicly branded a liar, and left to carry the consequences alone while police closed the case. Nearly two years later, a serial rapist was arrested in another state, and in his possession investigators found photographs of a young girl being assaulted. She was bound, naked, and had her own photo ID placed on her chest. That ID belonged to Marie Adler, who had been telling the truth the whole time. This is the unbelievable story of a young girl victimized twice. First, by a brutal rapist, and second, by police. Find all of A Trial by Podcast's links below: Click here for all of our links!

Donate to the Cyarah Vince Foundation at the link below: https://cyarahvincefoundation.org/donate/ --- In June of 2017, police in Bedfordshire, England responded to repeated domestic disturbance calls and found 21-year-old Alex Skeel injured and bleeding each time - only for him to insist his wounds were self-inflicted and beg officers to leave. On their third visit in just over a week, seeing Alex in daylight for the first time, officers were confronted with a scene so horrific it stayed with them for years: Alex was skeletal, weighed under 100 pounds, and was covered in untreated burns, deep knife wounds, and bruises in every stage of healing, his body infected and his hair matted with dried blood. He was rushed to the hospital suffering from sepsis, fluid on the brain, and severed tendons, and doctors later said he was at most ten days from death. His injuries resembling those of a tortured prisoner of war, inflicted not by an enemy, but by his own partner and the mother of his children, 21-year-old Jordan Worth. ----- Find all of A Trial by Podcast's links below: Click here for all of our links!

| Ep. 088 | Tiana Notice: 33 Pleas for Protection [Part 2 of 2] | 11 déc. 2025 | 01:04:36 | |
https://www.tiananoticefoundation.org/donate/--- Donate to the Cyarah Vince Foundation at the link below: https://cyarahvincefoundation.org/donate/ --- On Valentine’s Day 2009, Tiana Angelique Notice, a 25-year-old woman from Plainville, Connecticut, was tragically stabbed to death outside her apartment. For Tiana’s family, this day marked the devastating end of a prolonged nightmare of stalking and fear. Just five weeks and two days before her murder, Tiana had been granted a restraining order against her ex-boyfriend, James Carter II. From the moment she filed for the order to the day of her death, Tiana visited the police department 33 times, desperately seeking help. Carter’s behavior was becoming increasingly erratic, and he had violated the restraining order multiple times. Yet, despite Tiana’s repeated pleas and her insistence that she was in imminent danger, law enforcement continued to tell her there was nothing they could do. On the final day of her life, Tiana reportedly confronted an officer, asking in frustration, “What is it going to take before you guys do something? When I am dead?” Tragically, it seems that is exactly what it took. The very next day, Tiana’s life was cut short. How could this happen? How was Tiana so egregiously failed by those entrusted to protect her? And, most importantly, what can be done to ensure that no one else suffers the same fate? --- Find all of A Trial by Podcast's links below: Click here for all of our links!

| Ep. 086 | Love Shouldn't Hurt: The Life and Death of Cyarah Vince | 02 déc. 2025 | 01:45:39 | |
Donate to the Cyarah Vince Foundation at the link below: https://cyarahvincefoundation.org/donate/ ------- In March 2020, 23-year-old Cyarah “Cece” Vince was shot and killed inside her Lorain, Ohio apartment by her boyfriend, Austin Altomare, after months of escalating control, emotional abuse, and isolation. That night, Cyarah and Altomare had a friend—identified in court records as J.B.—over for dinner, and after the three used recreational drugs, Altomare became agitated, pulled out a .40-caliber handgun, and fired at J.B., who fled. What happened in the minutes that followed is unknown, but when police arrived in response to reports of gunfire, Cyarah was found with a gunshot wound to the forehead and later died at the hospital. Evidence showed Altomare fired multiple rounds throughout the apartment and outside the building. Altomare was convicted of murder, felonious assault, and related weapons offenses. Cyarah’s family and advocates now use her story to raise awareness about the warning signs of intimate partner violence and the urgency of early intervention. -------- Find all of A Trial by Podcast's links below: Click here for all of our links!

| Ep. 085 | Justice for Rashawn Brazell | 25 nov. 2025 | 01:10:18 | |
On the morning of February 14, 2005, 19-year-old Rashawn Brazell left his home in the Bushwick section of Brooklyn, New York, expecting a routine day ahead. He had plans to meet with an accountant that morning and then join his mother, Desire, for a Valentine’s Day lunch in Manhattan. Rashawn never showed up for lunch that day, and he was never seen alive again. Over the next few days, Rashawn’s loved ones grew increasingly concerned when he failed to return home or contact anyone. What began as a missing person case soon turned into a gruesome homicide investigation that shocked New York City. Within the span of a week, dismembered human remains were discovered in two locations in Brooklyn – horrifying finds that were ultimately identified as the body parts of Rashawn Brazell. On trial today: Who killed Rashawn Brazell?

| Ep. 084 | The Murder of Martha Moxley [Part 2] | 18 nov. 2025 | 01:13:39 | |
On October 30, 1975, 15-year-old Martha Moxley vanished after a night of teenage Mischief Night pranks in her wealthy Greenwich, Connecticut neighborhood, only to be found brutally beaten beneath a tree in her own yard the next morning. A golf club that was used to beat Moxley so brutally that the end of the club broke off - that golf club was later linked to the home of Rushton Skakel, the brother of Ethel Skakel Kennedy, AKA Robert Kennedy Sr.’s wife. Police learned that Rushton Skakel’s sons, 17-year-old Tommy and 15-year-old Michael, had pretty much been fighting over Martha Summer I Turned Pretty Style; and with that, they felt certain that one of the brothers had to be responsible. But of course, the money, power and privilege that comes with being a cousin of the Kennedy’s didn’t make their investigation easy. It would stretch on for decades, filled with conflicting alibis, changed stories, and shocking admissions, as police, journalists, and prosecutors tried to piece together what happened that night in Belle Haven. Decades later, after a sensational trial, a conviction and the overturning of that conviction, the question still lingers: did the Kennedy family’s privilege shield a murderer from justice? ***** Find all of A Trial by Podcast's links below: Click here for all of our links!

| Ep. 082 | Dianna and Kevin Green | 04 nov. 2025 | 01:30:50 | |
In 1979, in Tustin, California, Dianna Green was brutally beaten and raped in her apartment while pregnant, leaving her in a coma and causing the death of her unborn child. Her husband, Kevin Green, told police the couple had an argument that night so Kevin left to get food and give Dianna some space - but when Dianna regained consciousness weeks later, she accused him of the attack. Despite his insistence that he was innocent, Kevin was convicted in 1979 of attempted murder and assault causing fetal death and sentenced to life in prison. More than sixteen years later, DNA testing on evidence from the crime scene revealed the real perpetrator was Gerald Parker, a serial killer known as “The Bedroom Basher,” who confessed to attacking Dianna and murdering several other women in Orange County around the same time. Kevin was fully exonerated and released in 1996, while Parker was sentenced to death. Dianna later publicly apologized to Kevin for the mistaken accusation that had cost him nearly two decades of his life. Find all of A Trial by Podcast's links below: Click here for all of our links!

| Ep. 081 | Chelsea Bruck: The Halloween Party Murder | 28 oct. 2025 | 01:41:24 | |
Story starts at 08:55 Chelsea Bruck, a 22-year-old woman from Flat Rock, Michigan, disappeared in the early hours of October 26, 2014, after attending a large Halloween party near Newport with hundreds of attendees. Separated from her friends and without her phone, she was last seen wearing a Poison Ivy costume and asking strangers for a ride home. Six months later, her skeletal remains were discovered in a rural area in Ash Township, and the cause of death was determined to be blunt force trauma to the head. The investigation eventually identified Daniel Clay as the perpetrator after his DNA matched evidence found on Bruck’s discarded costume. He was convicted of felony murder.

| Ep. 080 | Bernd Brandes, Armin Meiwes & "Consensual" Cannibalism | 21 oct. 2025 | 01:46:05 | |
Armin Meiwes was a German computer technician whose 2001 crime shocked the world for its voluntary brutality. Living in the small town of Rotenburg, Meiwes posted an online ad seeking a willing participant to be killed and eaten — and astonishingly, a man named Bernd Jürgen Brandes responded. The two met, filmed their encounter, and Meiwes killed and partially consumed Brandes with his full consent. When police discovered the footage and evidence, Meiwes was arrested and initially convicted of manslaughter in 2004, receiving an eight-and-a-half-year sentence. However, after public outrage and a retrial in 2006, he was convicted of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment. The case raised complex legal and ethical questions about consent, morality, and the limits of human freedom, and remains one of the most disturbing examples of real-life cannibalism in modern history.

Alongside three former colleagues, Julia hosts her own post called The Consult: Real FBI Profilers.

| Ep. 078 | The Affair of the Poisons | 14 oct. 2025 | 01:33:36 | |
The Affair of the Poisons (1677–1682) was a dark and scandalous episode in the court of King Louis XIV of France, where rumors of witchcraft, black masses, and poisonings gripped Parisian high society. Sparked by the arrest of fortune-teller La Voison, the investigation uncovered a vast criminal network of alchemists, midwives, and nobles accused of selling poisons and performing satanic rituals for love, wealth, or inheritance. Among the implicated were members of the aristocracy, including Madame de Montespan, the king’s powerful mistress, who was accused of using love potions and dark magic to maintain his affection. The scandal led to more than 300 arrests and dozens of executions, before Louis XIV, fearing damage to his court’s reputation, abruptly shut down the investigation—leaving behind an enduring legend of lust, greed, and occultism beneath the splendor of Versailles.

Rebecca Zahau was found dead on July 13, 2011, at the Spreckels Mansion in Coronado, California.

| Ep. 074 | Meredith Kercher [Part 6] | 16 sept. 2025 | 01:46:27 | |
In 2007, 21-year-old British student Meredith Kercher was found murdered in her apartment in Perugia, Italy. The crime shocked the world - but what came next was even wilder. Italian police quickly arrested Meredith’s American roommate, Amanda Knox, and her boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito. The media branded Amanda as “Foxy Knoxy,” painting her as a femme fatale - and the case spiraled into a global tabloid frenzy. But the evidence against them was shaky. DNA testing later pointed to someone else: Rudy Guede, a man with a history of break-ins. He was eventually convicted of Meredith’s murder. Amanda and Raffaele’s trials dragged on for years - guilty, then acquitted, then guilty again, then finally cleared for good in 2015. Meredith’s death was tragic, but the circus around Amanda Knox turned the case into one of the most infamous true-crime sagas of our time. Click here for all of our links!

In 2012, 16-year-old Skylar Neese was brutally stabbed to death by her two best friends. She had been feeling left out of their trio, so she was excited when they invited her to hang out on the evening of July 6th. That night, Skylar snuck out through her bedroom window, but by the next morning her parents discovered her bed empty. Her friends told police that they had dropped her off later that night and claimed not to know what happened to her. For over six months, the case remained a mystery until one of the girls finally broke down and confessed. During that time, both girls even posted on social media about how devastated they were over Skylar’s disappearance. When investigators asked why they had decided to kill their best friend, one of the girls chillingly replied, “We didn’t like her anymore.” Click here for all of our links!

| Ep. 064 | The Murder of Robert Wone [Part 2] | 22 juil. 2025 | 01:51:34 | |
My interview with Smile Talk with Jacob On the night of August 2, 2006, 32-year-old attorney Robert Wone was found fatally stabbed in the guest room of a friend’s home in Washington, D.C., under circumstances that remain deeply mysterious. Wone had been staying overnight at the home of college friend Joseph Price, who lived there with his partner Victor Zaborsky and their housemate Dylan Ward. The three men claimed an unknown intruder broke in, stabbed Robert, and fled—yet there were no signs of forced entry, and their behavior after the crime raised suspicions. An autopsy revealed precise knife wounds and signs that Robert may have been incapacitated before his death, possibly through chemical restraint, though toxicology was inconclusive. The case garnered national attention due to its eerie details, the unusual domestic arrangement in the house, and the fact that the three men were later charged—not with murder, but with obstruction of justice and conspiracy. They were ultimately acquitted, and to this day, no one has been held criminally responsible for Robert Wone’s death. Click here for all of our links!

| Ep. 062 | The Murder of Geetha Angara | 08 juil. 2025 | 01:14:12 | |
Geetha Angara, a 43-year-old senior chemist at the Passaic Valley Water Commission in Totowa, New Jersey, vanished on the morning of February 8, 2005, while performing routine water-sample calibrations. Her coworkers discovered an access panel ajar above a water tank, along with broken glass from her beaker, later found along with her radio and clipboard underwater. Her body was recovered on February 9 in icy water. The autopsy revealed she was alive when she entered the tank, with bruises on her neck, waist, and elbows—signs of a possible struggle—leading investigators to classify her death a homicide. Given the plant’s tightly controlled access and no external intruders, suspicion fell on her coworkers; though three were identified as potential suspects, no charges were ever filed and the case went cold. An alternative theory, advanced by a Scottish pathologist, noted that cold-water drowning can mimic strangulation injuries, and some investigators later proposed that she may have tragically slipped through the panel during an accidental sample-collection procedure—though her family strongly disputes that scenario.

Dolly and Fred Oesterreich were a seemingly ordinary married couple in early 20th-century Los Angeles, but their lives hid a shocking secret. Fred, a wealthy apron factory owner, was murdered in 1922 under mysterious circumstances—found shot to death in their home while Dolly claimed to be locked in a closet by intruders. As the investigation unfolded, detectives discovered that for over a decade, Dolly had been hiding her secret lover, Otto Sanhuber, in the attic of their home. Otto, a former factory worker, confessed to killing Fred during a confrontation, revealing a bizarre and sensational tale of obsession, manipulation, and a literal "man in the attic" that captured national headlines.

| Ep. 059 | The Murder of Grace Millane | 24 juin 2025 | 01:17:36 | |
Grace Emmie Rose Millane, a 22-year-old British tourist on a gap‑year trip in New Zealand, disappeared on the evening of December 1, 2018, after she left a Tinder date in Auckland—her body was discovered in a suitcase a day later in the Waitākere Ranges The man she met, Jesse Shane Kempson (26 at the time), was arrested on December 8 and later convicted in November 2019 of murdering her by strangulation; he claimed it was consensual “rough sex” that accidentally caused her death—a defense widely condemned as victim-blaming. Kempson received life imprisonment with a minimum of 17 years before parole, his appeal was dismissed in December 2020, and the case continues to spark discussion around violence against women and the problematic “rough sex” defense.

| Ep. 058 | The Murder of Jacob Wetterling | 17 juin 2025 | 00:43:35 | |
Jacob Erwin Wetterling was an 11‑year‑old boy from St. Joseph, Minnesota who was kidnapped at gunpoint on October 22, 1989, while riding his bicycle home with his brother and a friend. His disappearance touched the nation and sparked frantic searches, media coverage, and advocacy from his parents, Jerry and Patty Wetterling, who went on to found the Jacob Wetterling Foundation and help pass the federal. For nearly 27 years, the case remained unsolved until 2016, when Danny Heinrich confessed to abducting, sexually assaulting, and murdering Jacob, finally leading authorities to his remains buried near Paynesville, Minnesota. Jacob’s tragic story profoundly impacted child safety laws in the U.S., and continues to remind communities of both the dangers children face and the enduring power of hope and advocacy.

| Ep. 056 | Buried Alive: Barbara Jane Mackle | 03 juin 2025 | 01:28:14 | |
In December 1968, 20-year-old college student and heiress Barbara Jane Mackle was kidnapped from an Atlanta motel by Gary Steven Krist and Ruth Eisemann-Schier. Krist and Eisemann-Schier, posing as law enforcement officers, abducted Mackle and buried her alive in a ventilated fiberglass box in a remote area of Georgia. The kidnappers demanded a $500,000 ransom from Mackle's wealthy father, which was eventually paid. After more than three days underground, Mackle was rescued by the FBI, suffering from dehydration but otherwise unharmed. Krist was captured, sentenced to life in prison, but was released on parole after ten years. Eisemann-Schier was arrested months later, served four years in prison, and was deported to her native Honduras. Despite the traumatic experience, Mackle went on to live a relatively private life, marrying and becoming a mother.

| Ep. 055 | Know Her Name: Chanel Miller [Brock Turner Case Part 2] | 27 mai 2025 | 01:40:43 | |
In January 2015, Chanel Miller, then 22, was sexually assaulted by Stanford University student Brock Turner while she was unconscious behind a dumpster on campus. Two graduate students intervened and detained Turner until police arrived. Turner was convicted in March 2016 on three felony counts of sexual assault but received a sentence of only six months in county jail, serving just three months, which sparked widespread public outrage. Miller's powerful victim impact statement, read during Turner's sentencing, went viral and became a rallying cry for survivors of sexual assault. In 2019, she revealed her identity and published the memoir Know My Name, detailing her experience and critiquing the justice system's handling of sexual assault cases. The case led to significant legal reforms in California and the recall of Judge Aaron Persky, who had delivered the lenient sentence.

| Ep. 053 | The Murder of Amber Tuccaro | 13 mai 2025 | 01:20:01 | |
Amber Tuccaro, a 20-year-old member of the Mikisew Cree First Nation, disappeared on August 18, 2010, after hitchhiking from a motel in Nisku, Alberta, toward Edmonton. During the ride, she called her incarcerated brother, and the call was recorded, capturing a conversation in which she questioned the driver's route, expressing concern that he was not taking her where she wanted to go. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) released a portion of this recording in 2012, hoping the public could identify the man's voice. Shortly after, Amber's remains were discovered in a field in Leduc County, south of her last known location. The RCMP faced significant criticism for their handling of the case, including delays in initiating the investigation and mishandling of evidence, leading to a formal apology in 2019. Despite these efforts, the case remains unsolved, and Tuccaro's family continues to seek justice. Find us on socials: Facebook: A Trial by Podcast Instagram: @atrialbypodcast TikTok: @atrialbypodcast
