What happens when a chilling video lands in the hands of someone who must decide between their safety and doing the right thing? Join us as we unravel the dark tale of Brian Steven Smith, whose gruesome acts rocked Anchorage, Alaska. With Valerie Kastler's harrowing discovery of murder evidence, we explore the stark realities and legal challenges faced by sex workers in Alaska. Her courage in coming forward launches us into a tangled web of crime and justice, as we piece together the life and tragic end of Kathleen Henry. Brian's sinister connections, including the death of Alicia Youngblood, bring light to a chilling pattern of violence and vulnerability.
This episode takes an unexpected turn as we uncover Smith's confession to another murder, that of Veronica Abuchuk, and the haunting revelations that follow. Misidentifications by Alaska State Troopers, disturbing video footage, and unsettling implications of other potential victims paint a deeply disturbing portrait of Smith's psyche. Alongside, we dive into the heated controversy between Ian and Antonia Comack over advocacy for Missing and Murdered Indigenous People, a conflict that adds layers of complexity and tension to an already gripping narrative. Keep your mimosa glasses topped, as this is a narrative you won't want to miss—one that challenges perceptions of justice and the stories behind the headlines.
