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.

Season 1

Collier Landry and Brenda Fisher discuss the tragic discovery of the body of Melinda Kay Davis, mother of four, on March 14, 2021, in Galloway, Ohio. Davis' ex-boyfriend, John Henry Mack, Jr., had been charged with kidnapping before the discovery. United States Marshals said Mack boasted at one point to investigators that Davis' "body would never be found," which helped connect him to his ex-girlfriend's disappearance.

The case presented a familiar tone, as Ms. Davis had reportedly said to friends that if she disappeared, Mack might be responsible. Collier's mother told him that if she was to disappear, his father had something to do with it. 2 months later, her body was found, and Collier's father was arrested for her murder.

***Collier also discusses the distance the murder of his mother has put between himself and his family, especially his half-sister Krissy, who recently got remarried.
