Summary
A re-release of our April 2022 episode featuring Eric Carter-Landin to refresh listeners before our midseason episode—which premieres tomorrow, July 10th—to provide updates in the case. Eric Carter-Landin didn't set out to be an advocate; but as the family member of a murder victim whose case was closed, he watched other disturbing cases unfold in his home state of New Mexico, and he felt called to do something about it: to help families, to shine a light on the failings in the system, and, eventually, to seek justice for his own brother, was was killed at only nine months old.

| 0:00.0 | In advance of tomorrow's mid-season episode, which is a new interview with Eric Carter-Londine, |
| 0:05.5 | we're re-releasing our original interview with Eric from 2022. In this original episode, he covers |
| 0:11.3 | his brother Jacob's case in great detail, as well as his fight to have charges pursued. |
| 0:16.6 | We encourage you to relisten, so you'll be caught up for tomorrow's release. It remains one of our most popular interviews to date. |
| 0:23.6 | Jacob's story and what Eric and his mother have gone through are heartbreaking, |
| 0:27.6 | and their current pursuit of justice needs a national audience, now more than ever. |
| 0:33.6 | This episode discusses child abuse, contains brief mentions of sexual abuse, and discusses domestic violence. |
| 0:40.8 | Listener discretion is advised. |
| 0:58.7 | This is the fall line. |
| 1:10.3 | Eric Carter-Londine is a creator and host Consequences, a true crime podcast that covers cases in New Mexico, his home state. |
| 1:17.5 | But unlike most independent podcasters, he has an extremely personal connection to the research he does. |
| 1:24.2 | He's been inexorably tied to a homicide case since 1987, when his little brother, Jacob |
| 1:30.3 | was murdered. Jacob Laundeeneen was born on July 1, 1986, and died only nine months later in April of |
| 1:37.9 | 1987. Though Jacob's autopsy showed clear signs of physical abuse, no one was ever charged with his death, |
| 1:45.3 | and his case was closed. Eric and his mother, both of whom would be victimized by Jacob's alleged |
| 1:51.4 | murderer, tried to pursue his case. Once they were in a safe situation, and Eric was older, |
| 1:57.5 | they gained access to case information that shocked them both. But instead of achieving |
| 2:02.9 | justice for Jacob, they ran into roadblock after roadblock, constructed by a complex system that |
| 2:09.3 | didn't have support available for Eric's mother. And time was not on their side. Decades later, |
| 2:16.2 | Eric is one of a growing number of family creators in the true |
| 2:19.5 | crime space. Like Sarah Turney of Voices for Justice, Eric and other family members are asking |
| 2:25.5 | audiences to stop thinking of families and their experiences as simple content, the object of a story, |
