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.

True Crime Survivor Panel: "Our thoughts on Crime Con" (Do's & Don'ts)

"Your 20 minutes of fun, was my 12 days of terror." A true-crime victim shared in a post on Reddit. That post was reposted in a CrimeCon Facebook group and inspired episode 35 of Moving Past Murder. In this episode guest host and journalist, Christine O'Donnell talks to survivors Kara Robinson Chamberlain, who was kidnapped by a serial killer at 15 -years old, Terra Newell, who was forced to kill "Dirty John" in self-defense. And, Collier Landry, who overheard his father kill his mother when he was 11-years-old. Months later he faced his father in court. The panel talks about the pros and cons of being the subject of the content true crime fans love. If you're going to CrimeCon 2022, you should listen to this episode.
