Beyond All Repair Ch. 2: The Case

Amory learns more about Marlyne Johnson, Sophia Johnson’s late mother-in-law, and her murder is explored through footage of Sophia’s 2003 trial. Clark County Detective Rick Buckner and his team narrowed the field of suspects to siblings Sophia and Sean Correia (Shane Correia's older brother and sister). Sean testified during Sophia’s 2003 murder trial that he saw his sister standing over Marlyne’s body, holding fireplace tongs.

Beyond All Repair Ch. 3: Bad Blood

Sean Correia's credibility is called into question as Sophia Johnson and Shane Correia tell Amory about his role in their upbringing. Amory learns how these three siblings ended up in Washington state after being raised in New York, and how Sophia became estranged from Shane and their mother, with whom she’d been incredibly close. Sophia finds a new family in the Johnsons — Brad, her husband, and Marlyne and Richard Johnson, Brad’s parents. At the time of the murder, Sophia is newly wedded to Brad and six months pregnant. Marlyne is supposed to go over to Sophia’s house for lunch that day. She doesn’t show, leading Sophia and Brad to check on her, and, ultimately, to her lifeless, nearly unrecognizable body. Sophia denies murdering Marlyne, but suspects Sean’s involvement.

After disappearing before he was supposed to testify in Sophia's second trial, Sean reappears in Guyana under the name Anthony Snow. He has since launched various ventures, including a short-lived campaign for president of Guyana in 2011, a land development business that’s been the source of allegations of fraud, and a robust social media presence.

What a story

This has enraged me. The judges ruling to not discuss his character and behavior… this all feels very relevant and I don’t think she had a fair trial! I’m only on episode 3 but I am SOOOO happy you are sharing this poor women’s story. I’m grateful her case is being told.
Wow.

I just finished season 2, it’s great. Season 1its a flop. I don’t agree with people who say people who commit murder who get life sentences deserve a second chance, and I don’t think an entire podcast needed to be dedicated to this. It’s literally about a person who has proven to have unquestionably committed murder and sentenced to life and the podcast is about the injustice of him being in prison ridiculous . Season 2 though was completely gripping. I don’t think it should be connected to season 1. The ONE thing I would say I would want more of would be maybe a bit more about the victim, but as the season as a whole was solely focused on sophie and her siblings/family I do understand how that kind of took a back seat. I loved the episode with her friend and sister(?) a bit more with them maybe after all was said and done and everything came out with the new report would have been interesting. Over all though I did love this podcast. Hoping for a season 3!
Yes!

I have been searching for a podcast that would keep me hooked and wanting more after I had finished up some of my favorites during Covid. And this is yet! Great story telling, investigative journalism, suspense and emotion. I still have so many questions and I hope there will be follow-up in the future. Amory has a wonderful way and voice of telling a story.
Narcissistic personality

As someone that survived a narcissistic relationship this story made me angry from the very start. Almost as soon as Sophia spoke I could hear nothing but manipulation and deceit. I grew up in an extremely abusive environment, physically, emotionally, sexually and mentally. I survived a murder suicide of my mother and step father at the age of 16 being woken from a deep sleep to find our house on fire and both of them dead leaving my brother and I alone to either perish with them or get out on our own! That being said I’ve never once had thoughts of harming anyone let alone suggesting to someone they should carry a heinous crime. When the excuse of a bad childhood is used to justify violence it makes me cringe. Thank you Amory for following this story to the end and for openly saying you don’t completely believe what Sophia has said. I look forward to your next adventure.
