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.

The Dad That Got Away with Murder

The Dad That Got Away with Murder

No two crimes are exactly alike, but they can be eerily similar. Brooke Nicole was just 6-years-old when she heard her father murder her mother, similar to Collier. Except Brooke's dad wasn't arrested. He actually maintained custody over Brooke and her sisters. At such young ages, they didn't know what to do. So they lived with their father, knowing his dark secret. Years later, Brooke found the courage to speak out about her father's crime, and now is trying to see him brought to justice.

  • "Mom got hit by a car. You're going to the babysitters." That's what Brooke's father told her to allegedly cover up the fact that he had just murdered her mother. Collier talks with Brooke about her shocking story and the extreme difficulty that comes with holding on to a secret for decades.
  • How do you break the terrible news to someone whose parent has just been killed? That's what Brooke had to do with her little sister.
  • Now that her story is out, hear the appalling way that Brooke's aunts are now treating her.
  • Collier and Brooke discuss the numerous similarities their fathers share. It seems there are plenty of personality traits that criminals have in common.
