I'm Rebecca LaVoy and this is Crime Writer's on the original True Crime Review Podcast that digs in a true crime, pop culture, other podcasts.

And this week this is not your grandfather's Perry Mason. We'll talk about the new HBO series that reimagines TV's most famous defense attorney as a 1930s private eye working on a brutal murder case.

Then the question isn't just who would kill a Houston graduate student, but also why? That's the focus of Motive for Murder, the latest podcast from Date Line NBC.

Joining me to get that done and more is my real life husband and true crime co-author, former TV journalist and love of my life, Kevin Flynn. Hello, Kevin.

Hello, Rebecca.

Also with us is journalist true crime author, licensed private investigator, former defense investigator, and our certified cat lady, Laura Bricker. Hello, Laura.

Hello, and I have never stolen a tie off of a dead corpse when I was a private investigator. I'm just going to put that out there right now.

What about your rings? Well, I mean, if they were pearls, maybe. Finally, the author behind the novel's known as the city trilogy are favorite doubting Thomas and host of the Strange Arrivals podcast, our resident cynic Toby ball. Hello, Toby. Hello, Rebecca.

Kevin, you know, we have to do that. We haven't done a while. What do we have to do? We've got a true crime update. All right. Who should I do the thing? That's right, ready?

True.

Laura, you want to give it a go? True crime update. Yes. Kevin will get back to you during true crime update soon enough, right? I think so. I think so. I'm feeling good.

Well, last week, of course, by the time the show comes out, it'll be a couple weeks ago. There was a very big piece of true crime news.

Gilaean Maxwell, longtime girlfriend and co-conspirator of the alleged pedophile and billionaire Jeffrey Epstein was arrested.

She was found hiding out in a place called Bradford, New Hampshire, which is about, I don't know, 10, 12 miles from where we're sitting right here in our basement podcast studio, Kevin Flynn.

What did you think when you heard this news that Gilaean Maxwell had been arrested by the FBI at this mansion hideaway in a tiny town two towns over from our tiny town?

They choose probably at our the same market basket that we go to.

It's probably knows what your Dunkin' Donuts is. Of course. Well, I know where all the Dunkin' Donuts are.

Toby? I thought it was funny. Her like hideout was like a very New Hampshire mansion or what passes for a mansion in New Hampshire.

I would love there. I have a question for you, Laura. Yeah. When I first heard this news, aside from the fact that I was stunned and amazed that Gilaean Maxwell, international, quasi-fugitive, I mean, she wasn't actually under arrest at that point, but she was definitely laying low on purpose.

She purchased the house under an assumed name through an LLC. She had packages delivered under a different name. She clearly did not want to be found.
