Just listened to today’s episode covering the Idaho murders, and it is by FAR the best coverage I’ve heard on any of my usual true crime platforms. They open the episode of addressing what I (and most likely all TC followers) have been asking at the top of the show. WHAT was up the 7 hours from the innaction taken from the witnesses/roomates/survivors? Unlike all the other documentaries, podcasts, YouTube videos I’ve heard - they included details I have never heard before including an Uber Eats delivery that was made to one of the roomates mere mere minutes before the killer entered the house.
My praise stems from how they addressed the fact that these girls were only 21, they were drunk, and they could never have guessed they were witness to the largest college murders of the decade. We were all thinking the same thing about how 7 hours passed with no 911 call - but appreciate Ashley Flowers reminding us their state of mind and how they are not fully formed adults. We’re aware there is a gag order and that we don’t know much else from the survivors, as it should be! But simply not covering this has made me crazy. I’m not a bad person for wondering this, and other podcasters make me feel like questioning the survivor is victim blaming, which it is not.
The entire episode was filled with more smaller details and insight on the conspiracy theory’s that resulted in a defamation lawsuit against a TikToker - all around incredible episode in which they adapted their research to the killers now admition of the crimes.
I’ll be honest, I lost touch (fell out of love) with Crime Junkies for a while, but their recent episodes including today’s have been TOP TIER!
