51. Justice Misguided: The Unlawful Detainment of Keith Gilmore

from The Lethal Library · host The Lethal Library

In this episode of The Lethal Library, Dani and Stephanie head back to North Idaho for a bizarre 1984 case that has everything: a stranger on a roadside walk, a weird note left near a bridge, bar chatter that turns into a bad idea, and a “citizen’s arrest” that escalates into something far darker in the woods. The situation quickly snowballs into a messy courtroom saga filled with refiled charges, heated arguments over what the law actually allows, questions about mental illness and credibility, and a community split on whether this was public safety or straight-up vigilante behavior.
