In this episode, Moni Basu, the director of the University of Georgia's MFA Narrative Nonfiction program, talks with journalist and author Kim Cross. Kim spent many formative years in the South, swimming in catfish ponds in Alabama, finishing graduate school in Birmingham, and editing stories at Southern Living Magazine. Kim is the author of three books: “What Stands in a Storm,” explores how people came together in the aftermath of the deadliest tornado outbreak in America; “Stahl House,” is a biography of an architectural gem in Los Angeles and “In Light of All Darkness,” delves into the investigation of the murder of Polly Klaas. Kim's books are so deeply reported that readers often feel like they're standing in the room with her characters. In this conversation with Moni, she discusses how she finds her main characters and then how she pulls all those details out of them.

A probe into the justice system's failure to protect society from career criminals. Focuses on the case of Richard Allen Davis who abducted and murdered 12-year-old Polly Klaas.
This week we take a look at one of the most infamous, horrifying cases in California history: the abduction and murder of Polly Klaas. This story takes place in 1993, when 12 year old Polly is stolen out of her own bedroom during a sleep over with two friends, while her mother and sister slept in the other room. The boldness of the abduction, along with the inability to find a single suspect for more than two months, made this case one of the most terrifying and captivating of its time. The entire nation stood by, waiting for answers, and finally, just before the new year, they got what they were waiting for when a man was finally tied to her disappearance. Once Polly's killer was caught, her story was used to pass multiple new laws, including California's highly debated Three Strikes and You're Out law, which was sold to frightened voters as a way to protect our children, but ended up imprisoning thousands of non violent criminals, while others continued to walk free. While Polly's father Marc was a big proponent of these laws, her two sisters, Jess and Annie, are not, and we'll talk about why, as well as how they are choosing to honor their sister's legacy in a very different way.

In this snippet, Richard Allen Davis starts to talk about the kidnapping and murder of Polly Klaas. Coming to all podcast platforms February 2025.The kidnapping of Polly Klaas occurred on October 1, 1993, in Petaluma, California. Polly, a 12-year-old girl, was abducted from her home during a sleepover at her house. The kidnapper, Richard Allen Davis, a convicted felon, broke into the home, tied up Polly's friends, and took her at knifepoint. After several days of extensive searching by law enforcement, volunteers, and the community, Polly's body was found on October 4, 1993, in a wooded area near her home.Davis was arrested and later confessed to the crime. He had a history of violent offenses and was on parole at the time of the abduction. The case drew national attention and led to increased efforts for child safety, including the passage of "Polly's Law," which focused on increasing the penalties for crimes involving the kidnapping of minors. Davis was convicted of murder, kidnapping, and sexual assault, and was sentenced to death. He remains on death row in California. The tragedy profoundly impacted the nation and highlighted issues around child abduction and criminal justice reform.https://linktr.ee/UnforbiddentruthBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/unforbidden-truth--4724561/support.

This episode pulls back the curtain on the chilling case of Polly Klaas, as we piece together the narrative through the eyes of Jillian Pelham and Kate McLean, Polly's friends who found themselves at the heart of this tragedy. Their vivid accounts, marred by the inconsistencies that often accompany trauma, set the tone for a deep dive into the complexities of memory, fear, and the desperate search for a missing child.Step inside 'Polly's room', a silent witness to the night's terror, where Sergeant Mike Meese and Detective Larry Pelton, alongside FBI specialist Tony Maxwell, meticulously gather evidence, hoping to find the clue that will lead to Polly. This meticulous process, enhanced by the latest in forensic technology, underscores the painstaking journey law enforcement must embark on in the face of such a heart-wrenching investigation. The episode illuminates the painstaking attention to detail required in crime scene protocol and the hope that science will shine a light where human memory fails.As the narrative unfolds, the raw, unfiltered exchange between Jillian and Kate, captured inadvertently on a forgotten tape recorder, reveals the burden of doubt and the struggle to reconcile their own recollections. This candid moment offers a sobering glimpse into the emotional aftermath of witnessing a crime, the weight of uncertainty, and the resilience of those left behind. Join us as we navigate through a case where every fragment of evidence, every nuanced memory, becomes a potential key in the search for truth and the hope of bringing Polly home. Support the show
Richard Allen Davis is an ex-con out on parole after serving 8 years of a 16-year sentence for kidnapping. Paroled to a halfway house for convicts with alcohol and drug addiction, he gets an overnight pass and drives his ford pinto 60 miles up the California coast to Petaluma. Davis goes to a park, smokes a joint and drinks beer, 2 blocks from the home of 12-year-old Polly Klaas, having a slumber party with two friends. Davis sneaks into the home, grabs a knife from the kitchen, and goes to the room where the girls are setting up sleeping bags. He threatens the girls with the knife, ties 2 of them up, gags them, and kidnaps Polly Klaas. It takes the girls 20 minutes to free themselves and they run to Polly's mother, Eve Nichols. who calls the police. The search for Polly Klaas begins. 90-minutes after kidnapping Polly Klaas, Richard Allen Davis gets his pinto stuck in a ditch.

In this special episode of the Crime Survivors Speak Podcast, we take a moment to turn the microphone towards our own producer, Annie Nichol, whose personal journey is rooted in the very foundation of survivor advocacy and storytelling. As a survivor of a high-profile crime that reshaped the national conversation on justice, Annie brings a unique perspective to the sensationalism often found in media narratives around crime and victims. Reflecting on the personal tragedy of losing her sister, Polly Klaas, Annie shares the complex journey of navigating a highly publicized case and the subsequent legislative changes that led to the widespread implementation of Three Strikes laws. She speaks candidly about the pain of witnessing her sister's story being used to propagate systems of harm and describes her deep commitment to advocating for a justice system driven by healing rather than retribution. This conversation emphasizes the importance of compassionate storytelling that amplifies survivors' leadership and power, proposing a vision of advocacy wherein survivors can collectively harness their creativity as a powerful tool for implementing change and building community.

We're happy to offer you our humble opinions on the best books of this year, as well as recommendations for other crime themed gifts as well. Sit back, relax, grab a cup of seasonal coffee, and peruse the list. Whenever possible, we encourage you to support small businesses by buying these books direct from the author or from indie bookstores. In Light of All Darkness—Kim Cross. For my money, this is the best true crime book of the entire year, if not one of the best I've ever read. Kim Cross offers the book of record on the Polly Klaas kidnapping, investigation, and aftermath. It's the most thoroughly researched and well-written book on the case, and it alternately had me in tears of rage and sympathy. Highly recommended! We interviewed Kim on episode #307 of Mind Over Murder, which ran October 9, 2023. Tangled Vines—John Glatt. This year has seen new twists and turns in the Murdaugh and Murdaugh-adjacent cases and a lot of media coverage as a result. Out of the myriad books, documentaries, and podcasts related to the case, one stands out over the others and that's this book from veteran true crime author John Glatt, which offers the most comprehensive look at the case and the closest accounting of the damage the Murdaugh dynasty has done to the Low Country over the years. We interviewed John on episode #289 of Mind Over Murder which ran August 7, 2023. We liked our conversation with John Glatt so much we ran it again as a Thursday bonus episode on October 19, 2023. Lost Girls—Robert Kolker. The Long Island Serial Killer (LISK) case (or Gilgo Beach case) came roaring back into the spotlight in July with the arrest of Rex Heuermann as the suspected killer of Maureen Brainard-Barnes, Melissa Barthelemy, Shannan Gilbert, Megan Watermen, and Amber Costello, as well as other unidentified victims on nearby Fire Island. While the case continues to unfold in the media, catch up on the lives of the victims and the early theories of the case with Kolker's 2014 book. We interviewed Bob on episode 301 of Mind Over Murder Monday, September 18, 2023. We also recently discussed whether Rex Heuermann could be connected with the unsolved Route 29 Stalker case in Virginia with Sarah Sherman Soule just recently on December 4, episode #323. A Light in the Dark—Kathy Kleiner Rubin. It's time to stop caring about Ted Bundy. His victims deserve our attention. Serial survivor Kathy Kleiner Rubin's story is the one you want to be reading instead. A survivor of childhood lupus, breast cancer, Hurricane Katrina, and the horrific attack by Bundy, Kathy's story is the light in the dark that we all need to guide us in times of trouble. Don't miss this amazing and hopeful book. We interviewed Kathy in our episode dated October 30, 2023 of Mind Over Murder, episode #313. In My DNA—Lindsey Wade. Case work at its finest is on display in this great new book from Investigator Lindsey Wade. Her career is notable for her focus on cold cases that can be solved with DNA, especially those of two missing young women in Seattle. Join Lindsey for an absolutely intriguing look at her cases and her career. We interviewed Lindsey on episode #315 of Mind Over Murder, dated November 6. Evidence of Things Seen—Sarah Weinman. A follow-up to her amazing collection of long-form true crime pieces UNSPEAKABLE ACTS, Sarah's newest collection EVIDENCE OF THINGS SEEN takes a lean toward social justice and the ethics of true crime. A much-needed spotlight is shed on these increasingly serious matters, leaving the reader with a lot to ponder. We interviewed Sarah about this collection on episode #249 of Mind Over Murder on March 20, 2023. We liked to so much we re-ran it as a bonus episode on October 5. America Autopsy—Dr. Michael Baden. Ask any true crime fan to name forensic experts and several names will rise to the top … Dr. Henry Lee, Dr. Cyril Wecht, and, above all, Dr. Michael Baden. Dr. Baden not only reflects on his amazing career but also on the very real issues of racism in policing through gripping stories of his most challenging cases. We interviewed Dr. Baden about his work on episode #282 of Mind Over Murder on July 13, 2023. The Hunt for Brianna Maitland—Greg Overacker. One of the most confounding cases to come out of Vermont over the last two decades is the disappearance of Brianna Maitland. Private Investigator Greg Overacker has written the definitive book of record on the case, using his own investigation into Brianna's disappearance and probable murder as a stepping stone. We interviewed Greg Overacker last week, on Mind Over Murder episode #325. In the Damage Path—Dr. Katherine Ramsland. Dr. Ramsland's Nutcracker series is our one nod to fiction on this list. This rip-roaring installment sees Annie Hunter (modeled on the good doctor herself) knee deep in a mysterious crime on the Outer Banks of North Carolina … and she's in for some nasty weather to boot! The answer to the question “how is a serial killer like a violent storm” can be found in these well-written pages. Look for several episodes with Dr. Ramsland earlier this season, most recently on July 24, 2023 as episode #285. A Murder in Hollywood—Casey Sherman. This excellent new book from Casey Sherman of HELLTOWN fame will not be out until February 2024 but we urge you to preorder it! This glitzy, gritty look at the murder of Hollywood starlet Lana Turner's abusive boyfriend Johnny Stompanato is full of first-rate storytelling and writing. Look for our episode with Casey Sherman in February…and look for Kristin's blurb on the back cover of the book!

In this re-edited archive episode, retired agent Eddie Fryer reviews the investigation to recover Polly Klaas, a twelve-year-old girl abducted from her bedroom in October 1993, by a stranger during a slumber party with two friends. Eddie Freyer was the case agent who, working in conjunction with his partners from the Petaluma Police Department, worked countless hours for more than sixty-days without a single day off. This was the episode that made me realize that hosting and producing FBI Retired Case File Review had become a mission for me. Coincidentally, October 2023 marks the 30th anniversary of the tragic incident.
