    Partial Transcription
    We’re finally excited to be back. Many things have happened,] we’ve published a book, Joe Millionaire. Of course, a true-crime story takes place in Anchorage, Alaska. Essentially, it's season two of the podcast, if you wanted to preview it. The book is for sale on amazon. 
    I think it's a wonderful story we put a lot of work into it. We were diligent in the research and you know that every single bit of it is true. Joe Millionaire by TC49.
    Anesha Duffy Murnane was abducted in October of 2019 as she was walking to an appointment in Homer Alaska and they searched for her for several years. A jury pronounced her deceased in June of 2021. There hasn't been any activity on the case until May 2022, just this last Monday authorities arrested Kirby Calderwood 32 of Ogden, Utah, charging him in Alaska with first- and second-degree murder, kidnapping, and tampering with evidence. 
    Kirby Calderwood is the main suspect in Duffy Murnane’s disappearance. Special investigator Matt Haney, we mentioned in the previous podcast identified Calderwood as a potential suspect in May of 2021, a month before they pronounced her deceased. Calderwood was employed by South Peninsula Behavioral Services. That's the mental health agency that runs the apartment where Duffy was residing at the time of her disappearance. He had over a span of time, fulfilled a couple of different jobs for South Peninsula Behavioral Services and came in contact with Duffy enough to even have shared meals with her in the past.
    April of this year, 2022, a tip came. Law enforcement when they were processing, they immediately knew that there were things that the tipster called in about and had reference to that were not public knowledge. No one should have known about those things unless they were either there or the person that was there told them about it specifically.  The tipster had mentioned a watch that Kirby Calderwood, the suspect who was arrested, kept and he also had a missing poster of Duffy Murnane an actual missing poster with her watch and he told her about it.
    Kirby confessed to her, the tipster who was his partner at the time, which also sounds like it's a way of manipulating her not to leave or to have absolute control over her. He wanted her to know either he felt guilty, which it doesn't seem that way by his actions or he was manipulating her to frighten her to where she would be basically terrified to ever leave. It lines up, that several previous partners, essentially his past intimate partners spoke of his sexual fantasies and of them personally being sexually assaulted by their husband or their boyfriend. Kirby would sexually assault them as an intimate partner. They said that he fantasized about torturing and killing someone. One of the women mention

10 out of 10 recommend!

I love this podcast. I’m a lifelong 4th generation Alaskan and it is so interesting to get the in depth story of our local crimes. I LOVE LOVE the narration. Taking details and weaving them into a tantalizing story…I hang on every word! I probably tell at least 5 people a day about this podcast. Keep up the great work!!!!

Sympathetic to Rapists, Insensitive to Victims

The episode about Donteh Devoe is one of the most offensive things I’ve heard in a true crime podcast. The podcast spends the majority of the run time building sympathy for a serial rapist and how his dreams were “stolen away” by his unfortunate childhood and then his own choice to commit crimes. Playing clips of his motivational speaking is unbelievably irresponsible. Once the podcast begins to link him to the crimes they choose to read and describe explicit text messages between a child and the perp. How distressing that must be to the families and victims who live in the community. The hosts need to really think about how their narrative is harmful to victims.
