Sadie Johnson spent three decades shaping other people’s stories as a writer and editor. But the narrative she’s turning toward now is her own — the family she came from, the trauma she survived, and the choices that shaped who she became and who she refused to become.

This conversation is honest, emotional, and full of the kind of clarity that only comes when you stop running from the past and start naming it.

For years, Jena-Lisa Jones fought to expose Jeffrey Epstein. Each time I would see her on TV, I wanted to give her a hug. And I got a chance to tonight at CrimeCon. I'm proud of her.

Hannah Hill’s artwork for this episode captures something essential: when you strip away the clutter, some rabbit holes all lead to the same road. It’s the same discipline Julia Cowley brings to her casework — clearing the noise, following the patterns, and seeing what remains.

The opening of this week’s episode sits on a fault line — geographic, historical, moral.

Hannah Hill read it and somehow painted the feeling of that split — the mountains where water that touches your right hand ends up in one ocean and your left in another. The way the land divides itself. The way the story does too.

Ashley Loring HeavyRunner, a 20‑year‑old member of the Blackfeet Nation who disappeared in 2017, lived on that Divide in life. And in death, that same split world has obscured where she vanished to.

This piece captures the pressure, the quiet, the wind, the weight.
