Crime reporters see and hear difficult things. I sat down with Scott Reeder, host of Suspect Convictions, to discuss the murder of Jennifer Lewis, the Little Tikes daycare shooting, and his recent interviews with those whose lives have been changed by the the Santa Fe High School shooting.Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/impactstatementSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A Crime Reporter's Perspective

When a crime ends in a conviction, the victims or their families are often allowed to give a statement to the court about the impact of the crime on their lives. But when these life altering events go unsolved, do not end in a conviction, or aren’t crimes at all, the victims and their families do not have this opportunity. The stories on this podcast are their Impact Statements.

Updates on cases and the show

On July 10, 2010, Lyle and Marie McCann failed to show up at the airport to pick up their daughter and granddaughter. Their adult children feared they had become lost on their road trip.  But then police announced a person of interest in their disappearance. And this began a 6 year winding road through the legal system that isn’t entirely over yet.Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/impactstatementSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Disappearance of Lyle and Marie McCann

In 1971, 9-year-old Anthony Murrill climbed into his top bunk as his older brother Vincent dozed off. This was the last confirmed sighting of Anthony Murrill. Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/impactstatementSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Preview: The Murder in My Family

When Brook was 16 years old, she was raped by an acquaintance who had been harassing her for several months.   Brook spent her mid-20s dealing with the long term effects of the assault and she had made huge strides in healing from the trauma. But then in September 2018, one woman’s accusations of sexual assault against a powerful man turned social media into a debate over the believability of people who come forward decades later. And this debate triggered Brook’s past trauma, and she decided now to deal with it in a way she has never done before. This story you are about to hear has been heard by only 5 or 6 people in the last 25 years.Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/impactstatementSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
