This episode of Lost Girls is different.

So important, in fact, that we did not record an introduction.

We did not add commentary.

We did not interrupt.

We are sharing the work done by Amber Batts on the Harm Done Podcast.

The Alaskan killer, Brian Steven Smith, a white South African-born man, is a chilling clear illustration of systemic failures within the Anchorage Police Department (APD) and the Alaskan justice system, revealing a pattern of negligence, dismissed warnings, and a profound disregard for the safety of marginalized communities.

From the mishandling of evidence, the lack of accountability, the failure to listen to women who come forward, to the disinterest in protecting vulnerable populations, all highlight the urgent need for policy reform and an overhaul in the approach to justice.
