Writer and Columnist Sarah Manavis joins us to talk about the genre of live amateur true crime detective videos appearing on Tiktok, focusing on how users have exploited the real missing person case of Nicola Bulley to speculate wildly, accuse people with little evidence, disturb potential crime scenes looking for "clues the police missed", and above all, grow their own audiences.

I think Phoebe is spot on about the reactionary and/or misogynist undertones of at least some true crime. A lot of it doesn't feel too distant from believing sex traffickers are luring white women from the suburbs with abandoned baby seats

20 minutes into this episode and all I can think is that the thought process and justification rolled out by these people in defense of true crime is basically the same justifications that Alex Jones made for lying about Sandy Hook, resulting in the harassment and abuse of the families of murdered children, among others.

I remember watching the Netflix series on hotel Cecil and they had an “internet sleuth” on and it was so uncomfortable whenever he spoke. He had created a para social relationship with the lady who had disappeared and if I remember right he had a friend who lived in the town that the ladies family lived and had her body repatriated to and got them to take a video of her gravestone
