Chris Kasick and Emily Nestor: Citizen Sleuth director and true crime podcaster on their new documentary screening at DocEdge festival

Several years ago, Appalachian true crime podcaster Emily Nestor created the podcast Mile Marker 181, investigating the mysterious death of local Jaleayah Davis.  The podcast attracted millions of listeners, but Emily was confronted with a turn in the story - and faced telling her listeners that there may not be any murder or crime, at all.  Emily’s story is the basis for a new documentary, Citizen Sleuth, which is screening as part of this year's DocEdge festival.  Director Chris Kasick and Emily Nestor herself examined the ethical questions raised by true crime podcasts. "A lot of people go into true crime, as content creators, with this idea of creating more content. And I think mine was a little bit backwards - and there are other people like that, where they really have a passion case, and it's not about making the content, it's about getting more eyes on the case."  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
