I'm Rebecca LaVoy, and this is Crime Writers' On.

Crime Writers On is the original True Crime Review podcast that digs in a true crime,

pop culture, other podcasts.

And on this episode, a true crime fan tries to prove her mother didn't kill her father.

But how can she be sure?

Because her mother was tied up in a locked closet during the murder. We'll review the podcast Hands Tied from IHeart Podcasts at BBC Studios. Joining me to get that done and more is true crime author, TV journalist, and host of. These are their stories podcast, my husband, and sometimes the love of my life. No, just kidding all the time. Kevin Flynn. Hi, Kevin. Hello, Rebecca. Also with us, private investigator. Are you just disappointed that I'd bring like a bowl of strawberries and whipped cream to the studio? I'm disappointed that we're not doing it in the jacuzzi later. Your anniversary is coming up in a few months. And that's very good that you remember that, Laura. That's true. Speaking of, Laura Bricker's with us. She's a private investigator, certified pet detective,

and cat lady. Welcome Laura Bricker. Well, hey, this is why I remember these important things,

because my mind is like an elephant. I know when you all get married, the New Year's Eve,

or New Year's Day. Yes. And finally, a resident outbting Thomas, author of so many things, host of Rip Current, host of more like ancient phalians, and the podcast, soon to be a motion picture, Strange Arrivals. It's Toby ball. Hi, Toby. Hey, thanks for having me on the show. Oh, you're welcome. It's always nice to have you, Toby. So, Kevin, we are back to our twice-weekly schedule. It's true. So this is a brand-new episode. Yeah. But what's our brand-new episode coming out on Monday? So on Monday, we're going to talk about the series on Hulu. It's called The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox. And it's brought to you by Amanda Knox. Huh. Who's Amanda Knox? No, I'm just kidding. Oh, my goodness gracious. I'm glad that we don't do too much on Twitter anymore because the, uh, the, they'll come for us. Oh my God. There's a whole, for those who don't know, when Twitter was working properly, which it no longer is. Uh, it was also much easier to do these disinformation campaigns.

And literally any time that there was a hint that you were talking about Amanda Knox,

it's just like the Amber Hurd situation, throngs of people, a lot of them imaginary, would come

at you and tell you what a whore she is and how guilty

she is and what a psychopath she is. It's wild. It's one of those cases that talking about it

publicly always stirs something up, right? Well, it's like Michael Jackson. Michael Jackson and

Amanda Knox. Both ones come for you on the Twitter. Oh, totally, totally. Scott Peterson, another case, we don't talk about on the show. It's just a whole thing. It's a whole thing. All right, so Kevin, you want to do a quick plug for this thing you got going on, or you want to ask people to give you money, not you, but through you? Yeah, I just want to take a second to tell everybody that again this year, I'm going to be doing the walk a mile in

their shoes that's a benefit for the thrive survivor support center here offers emergency services

for people experiencing domestic and intimate partner violence of every year I've been doing this now

and I put on a pair of high heel shoes and shoes, and I do the walk-a-thon.

That's fine.

Well, okay, it's a mile.

It's a mile, in a quote.
