52. From Ballet to Betrayal: Kuzmichev’s Idaho Tragedy

from The Lethal Library · host The Lethal Library

On this episode of The Lethal Library, Dani and Stephanie take on a Boise true-crime case that starts with a dependable 61-year-old woman leaving for a late-night cleaning shift—and never coming home. The investigation spirals into a messy mix of Idaho arts-world politics, a former Russian ballet director with a dramatic past, a whirlwind marriage, and timeline details that refuse to stay consistent. Along the way, they dig into old-school media sources, poke at criminal-justice system chaos (hello, questionable witnesses), and keep circling back to the same nagging question: is the evidence as solid as it sounds?Contact The Lethal Library at [email protected].
