1. Scene of the Crime

It was November 2, 2007, when the lifeless body of a young woman was found with multiple stab wounds in Perugia, a charming city in central Italy renowned for its chocolate production. The victim is a 21-year-old from England named Meredith Kercher, who had come to study in Italy thanks to the Erasmus exchange program. In a small rented house, on Via della Pergola, she lived with three other women, including Amanda Knox, a student from Seattle who had just begun a whirlwind romance with an Italian student named Raffaele Sollecito. The magistrate in charge of the murder investigation, Giuliano Mignini, begins to interrogate the people connected to the house. Knox's behavior immediately seems suspicious — and eventually, the 20-year-old American will make a shocking revelation. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
