About this episode
Blayne Alexander and Josh Mankiewicz sit down to talk about Blayne’s episode "Murder in Minot.” When college student Anita Knutson was found fatally stabbed in her off-campus apartment, investigators struggled to find a killer due to the lack of physical evidence. Eventually investigators turned their attention to Anita’s former roommate, Nichole Rice, who stood trial and was acquitted of the crime. Blayne and Josh discuss their experiences reporting on acquittals and Blayne shares a podcast-exclusive clip of her interview with Anita’s sister on grief and moving on. Plus, they answer viewer and listener questions.
