Many people have experienced some form of trauma in their life. I decided at an early age that our trauma should not be what defines us; it’s what we choose to do with it that does. I was just 11 years old when I witnessed my father murder my mother in the early morning hours of New Year's Eve. When no one believed me except one detective, I gathered evidence against my father, leading police to discover her body buried in another state. After having my story featured on Forensic Files, I channeled my trauma into filmmaking and podcasting, gaining widespread recognition as the creator and subject of A Murder in Mansfield, a film directed by two-time Oscar winner Barbara Kopple. Every week, I share my unique perspective on surviving true crime and trauma, overcoming adversity, and moving on. Along with sharing my healing process, I speak with fellow trauma survivors, academics, advocates, and storytellers and explore what came next. I hope this podcast serves as a kind of therapy and reconciliation for myself, and anyone who may be processing betrayal and dark trauma in their lives.

Nashville Events:

On Monday, March 27, 2023, a shooter opened fire at The Covenant School, a private Christian school in Nashville, killing six people. The shooter, identified as 28-year-old Audrey Hale, was a former student at the school and arrived at the scene at around 9:53 a.m. armed with two "assault-style" weapons and a handgun.

The Nashville police response to the shooting has come under scrutiny following a similar incident in Uvalde, Texas, where law enforcement took 70 minutes to storm a classroom after a shooting. However, in Nashville, the police response time was approximately eight minutes, and the shooter was taken down within four minutes of the police arriving on the scene.

The motive behind the shooting is still under investigation, and the families of the victims are receiving support from the community. The incident has reignited the debate over gun control and school safety in the United States.

Additional talking points in today's episode.

• #Gwynnocent Gwyneth Paltrow was being sued by Terry Sanderson, a retired optometrist, for causing him severe injuries during a skiing incident in 2016, but she has since won the judgment. Paltrow was awarded one dollar plus attorney's fees in the case.. Paltrow counter-sued, claiming Sanderson's fault. There is speculation as to why Sanderson waited three years to file.

• The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) officially ruled Steven Smith's case a homicide and reopened the investigation. Smith died on July 8, 2015, in a pedestrian vs. motor vehicle accident. A rape kit was done on Smith's body hours after the discovery, but it was never analyzed, and there is no confirmation of where the kit is or why it was ordered.

• There has been public discussion about the possible connection between Bryan Kohberger's sisters losing their jobs and their brother's involvement in a criminal case. A recent Vanity Fair article outlined the fever pitch of conjecture surrounding the Idaho Four case. This raises the question of whether the families of criminals are victims as well. Buster Murdaugh’s girlfriend threatened to sue media and online sleuths for following her around and pretending to be media.

• There is an update in the case of Michael Joseph Vaughan, who went missing in Fruitland, Idaho, in 2021. Sarah Wondra, a neighbor of the Vaughans, has been found competent to face her charges and has three additional felony charges filed against her. LE claims that these charges are unrelated to Michael. Sarah has two hearings scheduled in April.
