0:00.0	Voices for Justice is a podcast that uses adult language and discusses sensitive and potentially triggering topics, including violence, abuse, and murder.
0:11.3	This podcast may not be appropriate for younger audiences.
0:15.1	All parties are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
0:18.4	Some names have been changed or omitted per their request or for safety
0:21.8	purposes. Listener discretion is advised. My name is Sarah Turney and this is voices for justice.
0:34.2	There are cases in true crime that spark a lot of wild theories, cases that become so sensationalized
0:42.3	that they get over-analized and picked apart to pieces. And often, these theories overshadow the mundane
0:50.3	facts of the case. I think a great example of this is the case of Elisa Lam.

1:39.9	much more mundane. As far as I could find, Elisa's parents are content with the answers they
1:45.6	got about their daughter's death, that it was likely Elisa wasn't taking her medication as prescribed,
1:52.0	and she suffered some type of mental break that led her to climbing into the water tank,
1:57.3	unable to get back out. It's tragic and horrific even without any wild theory. But for some,
2:05.3	the most reasonable explanation, the explanation her family who by all accounts loved her very
2:11.2	much accepted, just wasn't enough for many true crime consumers. To be totally honest, I was one of those consumers.
2:20.8	I was enthralled by the case of Elisa Lam. My mind also went wild with all of those popular
