True Crime: The Staircase

Description

We resume our deep-dive into the 13-part Netflix docuseries The Staircase. We share insights about Elizabeth Ratliff’s death, Kathleen’s autopsy findings, Michael’s infidelities (redux), and the blowpoke (not a euphemism in this case, just a fireplace poker you can, apparently, blow). CW | TW: This episode discusses graphic crime scene details, including blood imagery and strong sexual themes. NSFW. Profanity included. Listener discretion is advised.
