| 0:00.0 | Hey, true crime besties, welcome back to an all new episode of Serialistly. |
| 0:07.0 | Hello. Hello, hello, hello, and welcome back to an all new episode of Serialessly with me, |
| 0:30.5 | your host, Annie Elyse. |
| 0:32.3 | And today is Thursday. |
| 0:34.2 | So first and foremost, that means we are like through halfway of the week. Thank |
| 0:37.9 | God. But also it means it's headline highlights day. So we are going over all of the |
| 0:44.3 | headlines that are breaking in the true crime world today. If you missed our deep dive on Monday, |
| 0:49.8 | I'm going to just tell you, you should pause this episode, you should go listen right now. |
| 0:55.6 | I did a deep dive into the AJ Owens case, which most of you probably know that better as like |
| 1:02.3 | the case from the Netflix stock, The Perfect Neighbor, where it was like mainly body cam footage. |
| 1:07.7 | And don't get me wrong, this was a great documentary. It was super moving. It was |
| 1:11.6 | very powerful. But there was a lot that wasn't included since they only primarily showed body cam footage. |
| 1:18.3 | They, of course, can't tell the whole story or share details that went beyond that body cam |
| 1:25.0 | if they're only showing body cam. So we did a deep dive into that. |
| 1:29.9 | It is available. It came out on Monday and now we are going to go through the new cases, a lot of cases. And we're going to start with some updates in cases like we always do. And then we are going to get into the new cases. |
| 1:47.8 | And I actually only have a couple quick little updates for you. |
| 1:54.4 | The first being Brian Walsh has been found guilty of first-degree murder, to no surprise to anybody. |
| 1:56.5 | I mean, I think we all freaking saw that coming, right? |
| 2:18.1 | Although I will say, last Friday, when the jury went out to go through and decide what the verdict was, when they went home for the weekend and hadn't come back with a verdict, I was a little nervous. I'm not going to lie. I was like, why aren't they coming back yet? That should have been a no-brainer, slam dunk. But early on Monday, we got the verdict guilty. So no more recaps at the end of the week for that case, |
| 2:23.8 | but I'm glad that that sleaze ball is locked away and we'll never see the light of day again. |
| 2:28.2 | In this other case, I've seen a lot of you guys sending this to me on Instagram and tagging me in it. And it's a little bit of an update in the case, but I also want to take this as an |
| 2:32.3 | opportunity to remind you, we did cover this story |
