    In this episode of Buried in Snow, we look at Vermont State Police's initial investigation. Interviews with the main suspect Josh Preseau, Denise Hart's mom Dedre Robinson, lead detective Julie Scribner, and criminology expert Jesenia Pizzaro, show where energy was put, who was kept in the loop, and where mistakes were made. Why is there such a lack of witnesses and how can we get them to come forward now?

    In this episode of Buried in Snow, we go back to the weekend of Denise Hart's disappearance. This time hearing Josh Preseau's side of the story. Josh was the last known person to see Denise alive. He was the family's main subject and, allegedly, the polices' as well. But was focusing on him off the bat a mistake? Josh talks to listeners directly about what happened when Denise stayed with him when she left, and her family came to search his house. Listen to episode four and decide for yourself, can he be trusted?

Highly recommend this for everybody

This podcast is the best true crime podcast I’ve listened to. I am genuinely impressed with the creator and cannot wait to hear her next podcast!
I like how Buried in Snow gathers a multitude of perspectives of the people involved in this unsolved murder case as well as the family, the police, and professionals whose life work and research add value to understanding the entirety of this case.
More importantly, I love how the creator tells the family’s story, which refused to be listen to by media and police due to the unfortunate way this nation responds to diversity. I have so much respect for the way the creator advocates for black women by telling their stories when no other media outlet will.
You don’t want to miss out on this podcast, I promise. Give it a listen and see for yourself.
