The Staircase: The Death of Kathleen Peterson

Join us as we revisit one of the most debated true crime cases of the modern era — The Staircase. A case with more questions than answers.   In 2001, Kathleen Peterson was found at the bottom of a staircase in her home by her husband, Michael Peterson. What appeared at first to be a tragic accident quickly became the center of intense scrutiny. The scene itself sparked countless theories, led to Michael’s arrest, and ultimately resulted in a conviction that continues to divide public opinion to this day.   This episode examines the facts, the theories, and the lingering doubts surrounding the case — and why so many people remain on the fence years later.   ⚠️ Content Warning: This episode is intended for adults only.
