57: Desert Betrayal: McKnight and Williams' Violent Turn

from The Lethal Library · host The Lethal Library

Dani and Stephanie bring The Lethal Library listeners to Power County, Idaho, where a late-night meth run in 1997 spirals into paranoia, betrayal, and a brutal outcome that shocks the area and pulls in the Fort Hall Indian Reservation and the icy waters of American Falls Reservoir. As investigators race to piece together what happened, the case barrels into a courtroom fight packed with small-town publicity problems, evidence disputes, death-penalty pressure, and big decisions that change everything for everyone involved. Along the way, the hosts detour into Idaho county trivia, license plate lore, and their signature take on how criminals (especially the meth-y ones) manage to make every possible bad choice.Contact The Lethal Library at [email protected].
