The Collier Landry Show
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.

Fighting for Your Case when Homicide Detectives are Overwhelmed

Fighting for Your Case when Homicide Detectives are Overwhelmed

When a child grows up fearing serial killers and even loses a young neighbor girl to a killer, it might be the start of a lifelong trauma. In the case of Nina Innsted, the host of Already Gone, she let that fear fuel her desire to catch killers and find the victims who go missing. When the police couldn't do enough to solve missing persons cases, Nina found ways to give her cases a better chance at being solved. Collier and Nina discover that's something they both have in common.

  • Hear about the dark and deadly events that encouraged Nina to get involved in the world of true-crime.
  • What would've happened to Collier's mother's murder case had he not gotten involved to tip-off police and testify against his father?
  • Collier and Nina reflect on the importance on being persistent on solving criminal cases.
  • Serial killers never brought to justice: Nina shares her personal story growing up in an area terrorized by murderers who were never identified.
  • What are the first steps you should take when a loved one goes missing, specifically a teenager?
  • Nina has several essential pieces of advice she's picked up working for the missing person association, Missing In Michigan.
  • The disgusting world of private investigators and others who take advantage of desperate families searching for missing loved ones or answers to unsolved criminal cases.
  • Be wary of those just out to make a buck off your tragedy.
  • For the families and friends left behind after someone is murdered, do they ever truly find closure?
  • When does the story end? Nina breaks down what she's discovered.
