• Ep. 058 | The Murder of Jacob Wetterling

  Jacob Erwin Wetterling was an 11‑year‑old boy from St. Joseph, Minnesota who was kidnapped at gunpoint on October 22, 1989, while riding his bicycle home with his brother and a friend. His disappearance touched the nation and sparked frantic searches, media coverage, and advocacy from his parents, Jerry and Patty Wetterling, who went on to found the Jacob Wetterling Foundation and help pass the federal. For nearly 27 years, the case remained unsolved until 2016, when Danny Heinrich confessed to abducting, sexually assaulting, and murdering Jacob, finally leading authorities to his remains buried near Paynesville, Minnesota. Jacob’s tragic story profoundly impacted child safety laws in the U.S., and continues to remind communities of both the dangers children face and the enduring power of hope and advocacy.Donate to Season of JusticeFind us on socials:Facebook:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠A Trial by Podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠@atrialbypodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠@atrialbypodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Theme Music:https://uppbeat.io/t/all-good-folks/mr-mischiefLicense code: MOYK9CTUWGH7BLCSDISCLAIMERThis podcast (and all related media*) is intended for informational and entertainment purposes only.

• Ep. 056 | Buried Alive: Barbara Jane Mackle

  In December 1968, 20-year-old college student and heiress Barbara Jane Mackle was kidnapped from an Atlanta motel by Gary Steven Krist and Ruth Eisemann-Schier. Krist and Eisemann-Schier, posing as law enforcement officers, abducted Mackle and buried her alive in a ventilated fiberglass box in a remote area of Georgia. The kidnappers demanded a $500,000 ransom from Mackle's wealthy father, which was eventually paid. After more than three days underground, Mackle was rescued by the FBI, suffering from dehydration but otherwise unharmed. Krist was captured, sentenced to life in prison, but was released on parole after ten years. Eisemann-Schier was arrested months later, served four years in prison, and was deported to her native Honduras. Despite the traumatic experience, Mackle went on to live a relatively private life, marrying and becoming a mother.Find us on socials:Facebook:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠A Trial by Podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠@atrialbypodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠@atrialbypodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Theme Music:https://uppbeat.io/t/all-good-folks/mr-mischiefLicense code: MOYK9CTUWGH7BLCSDISCLAIMERThis podcast (and all related media*) is intended for informational and entertainment purposes only.

• Ep. 055 | Know Her Name: Chanel Miller [Brock Turner Case Part 2]

  In January 2015, Chanel Miller, then 22, was sexually assaulted by Stanford University student Brock Turner while she was unconscious behind a dumpster on campus. Two graduate students intervened and detained Turner until police arrived. Turner was convicted in March 2016 on three felony counts of sexual assault but received a sentence of only six months in county jail, serving just three months, which sparked widespread public outrage. Miller's powerful victim impact statement, read during Turner's sentencing, went viral and became a rallying cry for survivors of sexual assault. In 2019, she revealed her identity and published the memoir Know My Name, detailing her experience and critiquing the justice system's handling of sexual assault cases. The case led to significant legal reforms in California and the recall of Judge Aaron Persky, who had delivered the lenient sentence.Find us on socials:Facebook:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠A Trial by Podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠@atrialbypodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠@atrialbypodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Theme Music:https://uppbeat.io/t/all-good-folks/mr-mischiefLicense code: MOYK9CTUWGH7BLCSDISCLAIMERThis podcast (and all related media*) is intended for informational and entertainment purposes only.
