Today we’re joined by former New York Times journalist and the host of The Silver Linings Handbook podcast, Jayson Blair.

Jayson is a mental health coach, a reporter and podcaster, and a fierce advocate for victims. We talked today about missing persons, particularly missing and murdered indigenous people, and what we can do as a true crime community to better advocate for them.

This week on News Roundup we looked at four recent and ongoing cases, as well as giving an update on the recent guilty plea from Bryan Kohberger in the Idaho 4 murder case.

Two men have been charged in connection with the murder of Coventry mum Reanne Coulson, Jessica attended the court hearings and we have some updates on how the prosecutions of Mohammed Durnion and Adam Moore are expected to continue. We also looked at the murder of two firefighters in an “ambush” in Kootenai County, Idaho. Marcus Monzo was recently sentenced to life in prison for the murder of 14-year-old Daniel Andorin in a 20-minute “rampage” with a samurai sword in Hainault, London. Finally, we covered the 2015 death of Sara Lynn Colucci, whose husband Michael Colucci was recently brought to trial for her murder before the indictment was dramatically quashed.
