Summary

In this Afterthoughts conversation, we talk through what stayed with us after telling Carmen Sanders’ story. We reflect on the details that mattered most, the warning signs that were easy to miss in real time, and how proximity and familiarity played a role in what happened. This isn’t a rehash of the case. It’s a space to sit with the unanswered emotional weight, the choices Carmen was preparing to make, and the larger questions her story raises about access, trust, and safety especially when danger doesn’t come from the outside.
