Summary

A Not So Private Idaho - Dr. Danielle Slakoff on Media Sensationalization in Idaho Four Case, Ethical True Crime and the Families Left Picking Up the Pieces What is it about true crime that leaves audiences with a nearly insatiable appetite for the bleeding headlines? With the recent cases involving the "Idaho Four" and the apprehension of suspect Bryan Kohberger, and now the Ana Walshe disappearance, a media-feeding frenzy has reached an almost feverish pitch. In this episode, Dr. Danielle Slakoff, an Assistant Professor of Criminal Justice at California State University, Sacramento, joins this important discussion. As a researcher, she examines how the media portrays crime and victimization, having published recent work on how true crime podcasts portray intimate partner violence. Additional episode highlights include: • Moving Past Murder has won the Listener's Choice award at the 2022 Signal Awards • The eerie similarities of a mother of 3, Ana Walshe, who went missing from her Cohasset, Massachusetts' home on New Year's Day 2023. The situation directly parallels the disappearance of Collier's mother, Noreen Boyle, some 33 years ago. About the University of Idaho 4 Case: Bryan Kohberger is currently The Suspect in the Idaho 4 Murder Case. The Idaho 4 Murder case is a quadruple murder that took place in the state of Idaho in November 2022. Four college students from the University of Idaho were found dead in their off-campus house. and the authorities launched a massive investigation to find the culprit.
