If you're listening to this episode after July 15th, there is something I need to tell

you first.

I contacted Skater who identified herself as a friend of Andrews, because I wanted to

give our listeners another window into what else was going on through the killer's

mind.

I then asked Skater whether knowing that she had been friends with a killer had somehow

impacted or changed her world view.

You may have heard the shock in my voice when she expressed that it hadn't.

In the following interview, which I granted Skater after she expressed dissatisfaction

with the first, I asked again.

I got the same response.

So I published the interview.

Subsequently, Skater asked for the entirety of both interviews to be removed.

I thought they were relevant to our listeners, so I declined her request.

When she updated her profile on social media and published an additional YouTube video

claiming that she is autistic, which would explain her perceived lack of empathy.

Of course, if I had had any indication prior to contacting her that she was indeed autistic,

I would have never agreed to conduct the interview in the first place.

It's not my place to diagnose people over the phone, only to ask them questions and

listen and try to understand their responses.

However, since all of this happened, more questions have been raised that lead me to believe

that our listeners deserve to hear the whole interview.
