On a winter morning in 1982, two young fathers were found shot to death in a van parked outside an upscale Utah restaurant. The killer soon confessed, but his story about what happened - and why he chose violence - would create more pain, conflict, and questions for the families left in the wake of the murders. As the families of the men struggle to rebuild their lives, they face questions they never anticipated. Does everyone deserve a second chance? Who is forgiveness for? And if you can inherit trauma, can you also inherit forgiveness? Through their stories, we discover even the most personal decisions can unintentionally ripple through lives, through generations, even impacting the lives of people we’ve never met.

Changed my outlook

This is really made me stop and think, about my uncle who was murdered on an LDS mission in Ireland and how being so young it affected me. And how I should forgive his killer and how I would like that opportunity. It may be too late for some of my family. But I sure would like to try.
Zero Skepticism

I listened to most of Season 1. The podcast does not acknowledge the possibility that the killer is simply lying. He tells his friends that he wants to try killing someone and then does. Once caught, his story is that he was suicidal and only shot other people because he happened to have a mental breakdown. So everyone just buys that? Seems to me that he has every incentive to appeal for sympathy. I wouldn’t give him any.
Thank you

The best podcast i’ve ever listened to. For me, at this time of my life, forgiveness and making peace were powerful messages. I thank you for that and admire the Snarrs and Evette so very very much. Powerful podcast
Rough, but BEAUTIFUL

As a mother, I kept asking myself, what I would do, who I would be, if I ever went through this experience. And it was a tough question to answer. Tough and painful, and I can’t even IMAGINE what’s it’s been like for the subjects. This was a rough and heartbreaking listen, but it was surprisingly beautiful. Stunning, actually. These people, these families, are absolutely amazing. I’m sending so much love and light to them all, and pray they are continuing to heal.
WOW!

I’ll say it again, WOW! Been waiting on the release of this one. While listening to the 1st Ep., I was pretty sure I knew where this was going, but what I wasn’t prepared for was myself, a grown man from S Alabama, driving down the road to work and slapping tears out of my eyes, listening to the last couple of minutes of the 1st episode. The forgiveness, and love from this mother, who surely, at one time did not even want to wake up so many mornings, was one of the most touching things I’ve ever heard come out of speakers. And something tells me that we’ve only scratched the surface of “goodness” of Zack’s family.
Beautifully written

I truly enjoyed this show, season 1 and 2. Still true crime but with depth, I could honestly listen to 10 more seasons.

Zealots and zealotry.

Forgiveness is overrated. These fools are so concerned with being pious that they’re willing to help a convicted murderer (of a family member, no less) and someone who is obviously a psychopath out of prison, and into another family member’s house? Give me a break. These people are naive fools.
Well executed story telling

Found this by accident and appreciate the skillful storytelling of the two cases. I don’t completely understand the extent to which the families went but was interested enough to stick with it. Well worth listening.
More than a great story of forgiveness!

The Letter is a wonderfully told story of grief and forgiveness but additional bonus episodes provide incredible helpful information that will help listeners understand the impact of their own trauma and process of their on grief and forgiveness. Highly recommend giving The Letter a try.
