This is a "Shortcut" episode. It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed.Our guest host, Dr. Xanthé Mallett sits down with lawyer Iresha Herath and media researcher Maria Rae to chat about their soon to be released podcast Little Girl Lost. They’ve spent the last year and a half diving deep into the 1921 murder of 12-year-old Alma Tirtschke, a case known as the “Gun Alley Murder.” They explore how Alma’s story was twisted by the media and courts at the time—and how those same patterns still play out in true crime today.
