In this episode, I speak with Brett Talley, co-host of The Prosecutors Podcast, about the long journey from tragedy to trial in the Delphi murders. We explore the lessons learned from years of investigation, the power and peril of media attention, and the human cost behind the headlines.

From the girls’ bravery in capturing evidence, to the community fractured by suspicion, to the guilty verdict that finally brought resolution, Brett shares what it was like to cover the case that became deeply personal for him. This is not just a story of crime and justice—it is a discussion of the stories we tell and why we will tell them, of empathy, memory, and the bridges we all must cross.
