True Crime Story: It Couldn't Happen Here

These are stories that you don't hear about on every other podcast. They are the forgotten stories. They are the every day people in non-salacious stories that need to be remembered. Hilarie Burton Morgan is every bit as good as Keith Morrison on dateline. Maybe even better because she actually sympathizes with the families. She has no obvious agenda to create a program that is salacious in anyway. She sympathizes with the victims and families at every turn. She actually tries in every way to find the facts of the case. I am so in awe of her and so proud of her for doing this. It is actually amazing to watch the show.

I watch all the true crime shows and this one stands out a little from the rest of the pack of shows that networks such as I. D. pumps out. Seems to focus more on interviews than details and fact, and of the 6 episodes I've seen, some don't have a black and white conclusion.

I usually hate this, but for some reason-I don't mind it on this show.

The host seems very compassionate when interviewing people...seems like she really cares.

Hope they continue to make more episodes!

I love watching true crime shows and this one really puts a different spin on most of the shows. I like the episodes that bring awareness to the wrongfully accused and imprisoned!

I like Hilarie Burton Morgan as the host. I dont feel like the negative comments about her are fair or just. I think she asks the questions and allows the victims families and the professionals(lawyers, investigators, police, etc) to do the majority of the talking. She does not hog the spotlight because she is famous.

I hope this show continues for more seasons because it is a really great show and I enjoy watching !

Keep these episodes coming. Hilarie does a great job at this. She may have producers but you can feel her genuine care when talking about these stories. She is refreshing. There are lots of crime documentaries out there to compete with. She really cares about getting the whole story out there. It has been a long time since I have seen such good factual storytelling. I hope they do updates on some of these stories. I hope Christians family finds peace. I hope they all do actually. Hilarie be proud of this work, it's fantastic. I look forward to more episodes I binge watched like 12 episodes in one night.

I wanted to like this show but after watching episode 2 I just could take it seriously. I've seen the Yoder story told in a couple of other shows that talk about the evidence with detectives and prosecutor. They did a much better job at explaining why the Kate was found guilty. For starters, this episode doesn't talk about all the forensic evidence they found.

The only DNA found on the bottle was Kate's. Secondly, she was obsessed with the son Adam. When he wanted to end things, she tried to accuse him of sexual assault. The detectives looked into it and found zero evidence. They also found a ton of online evidence, not just on her work computer, but on her phone. She created the email days before she ordered the poison. The password for the email? It was "Adamisgay"

At the end, she poisoned the mom hoping she could get the son back. She was there at her death bed consoling the son. He was also the one who gave her the job at the practice. And the husband? He had an alibi and the affair with the sister started after his wife's death.

This episode also didn't show the victim statement the son gave at Kate's sentencing. He was beyond crying and blaming himself for brining her into his family. This show lost all my respect for portraying that psycho monster as an innocent woman.
