Summary

On an ordinary night in Billings, Montana, 33-year-old Paul Harris was enjoying a drink at a local bar when a lighthearted prank involving a bicycle spiraled out of control. What started as harmless fun between acquaintances triggered explosive rage in Ezdeth Highley. She waited outside in the darkness and stabbed Paul three times, killing him in an instant. Kelly Jennings uncovers every chilling detail: the seemingly innocent joke that ignited the violence, the troubled background of the perpetrator, the devastating toll on Paul’s family and friends, and the shocking courtroom outcome that left many questioning justice.

Welcome to Unspeakable, a true crime podcast where I tell stories of real crimes with real victims,

0:11.7

whose cases are so shocking that many are left wondering, how is this even real?

0:30.9

I use my experiences in law enforcement, corrections, and combined with my years as a criminal justice educator, dig deep into complex cases of evil acts.

1:48.4

I hope it opened your eyes to the manipulation attempts by many offenders and how important

these people are on some level, even if it's just the fact that we can understand them.
