Chapter 1: What are the latest updates in true crime this week?
Hey, true crime besties. Welcome back to an all new episode of Serialistly. Hello, hello, hello. Welcome back to this week's episode of Headline Highlights with me, Annie Elise, over here on Serialistly. And guys, we have got so much to talk about today because there have been new cases that are breaking that I have just been flooded with requests asking for me to cover, get my take on it.
Chapter 2: What happened in the Lori Vallow Dateline interview?
We have to, of course, talk about the just like batshit crazy interview that Lori Palow did on Dateline. I watched the entire thing and it was honestly painful. It Y'all know how I feel about Lori Vallow. We also are going to talk about a new case that is breaking where this young teen girl was lured on social media by these disgusting freaks. She ended up being found dismembered.
There have now been two arrests. The story is just absolutely horrible. appalling there's been updates in the gene hackman case and the cause of death and some interesting things there we also have updates in the karen reed retrial and the motion to dismiss a juror also is coming forward another one speaking out so we have got a lot to go over today
And also, don't think that I've been sleeping on these Idaho updates coming out because now we have the 911 call. We also have the text that happened that night. I have a lot to say about that, but I'm going to do that on a totally different episode, like a full episode dedicated to that because there is a lot to talk about in what's going on with the Idaho case.
So don't worry, I haven't forgotten that, but we will be doing a solo episode on that very, very soon. I think I'm planning to record it tomorrow. A lot of news came out this week about it too, even more updates, so... We will definitely get to all things Idaho soon. And if you missed it, just a reminder, this last Monday I did a deep dive on Kevin Franke.
And if you're watching this on YouTube, it released way earlier over on the podcast. So as a reminder, if you want to listen to these episodes before they get released on YouTube, like days before, you can do that on the podcast. Because, you know, YouTube likes to be a thorn in my side and not approve things all the time. But we did a deep dive into Kevin Franke because...
I did that deep dive in Ruby Frankie a few weeks back and after watching the Hulu series and knowing so much about that case, I was left with a really bad taste in my mouth. I was like, feels like this guy is not taking accountability. It's almost as though he's trying to just like absolve himself of having any responsibility related to the treatment of his kids, which I get it.
He wasn't there when everything came to a head and to this boiling point with Jodi and with Ruby. However, he was there for the whole backstory before Jodi even entered the picture. He was seen on camera inflicting these very, in my opinion, harsh punishments against his children, exploiting them, caring more about the paycheck than his own children. Then he disappeared for a year.
and so I felt like and I'm not you can listen to the episode of course but I just felt like he was trying to get off scot-free and say now how he wants custody of his children how he just wants to do right by them yet in every other sentence in his interviews that he's doing in his like media press campaign tour he's still talking about how Ruby like he loves her and justifying actions and so I wanted to do an episode where I'm like no no no that's kind of like
Lay all the cards out on the table, right? I'm going to play original clips from you that you had made public where it's contradicting your statements that you're making now. And let's just like really call it out, Kevin. Let's call it like it is and call out what kind of father you truly were, because this whole little act.
