Summary

In today's episode, I sat down with Sarah Turney, sister of Alissa Turney, and we talked about everything that's happened leading up to and following her sister's murder trial, where their father was the accused. Shockingly, Michael Turney was acquitted after a lack of preparation from the prosecution. She also shared some personal details about how she's been exploited by 20/20 and other content creators and how it's shaped her views on true crime. Tune in for a very emotional yet very important conversation.

0:00.0	One of the biggest things when I realized my dad was acquitted was I thought about the families,
0:04.7	you know, those families fighting out there and I didn't want them to be discouraged, you know.
0:09.1	I still believe him getting to court was a huge win. And even if we didn't get past the
0:14.4	finish line, I just want families to realize that there is so much power and media attention and
0:19.3	getting those resources, they come with media attention, right? When police departments and states,
0:24.4	you know, state prosecutors are kind of put on the spot of like, this case is everywhere,
0:28.8	what are you going to do? More resources are allocated to those cases. So I want families
0:34.0	to know that just because, you know, my dad wasn't found guilty, that it's not all for nothing
0:40.1	and that they need to keep fighting.

1:17.6	been such a good friend to me over the years and I'm just so excited to be here. Thank you for
1:21.9	saying that. I mean, you're just amazing. And we really have developed such a friendship over
1:26.0	the years, which has been just amazing. And I can't believe that it's been five years since we first
1:31.8	started talking. I know. I'm flies for real. I know. And I'm like terrible at math. But when I started
1:37.2	thinking about it, I was like, oh my god, holy cow, five years. It was 2018. I'm pretty sure. Yeah.
1:43.8	I remember it was like May or June of 2018. Yeah. So yeah, over five years now. And we've
