About this episode

The episode discusses the D4VD murder charges and the Tracey Grist trial, highlighting community reactions and social media's role in the narrative.

Plus: four dead girls, a TikTok about wrestling, and a Bay Area town eating itself alive — one year after the fireball on Sir Francis Drake Boulevard. The d4vd case moves from arrest to formal charge: LA County DA Nathan Hochman announces first-degree murder with three special circumstances — lying in wait, murder for financial gain, and the killing of a witness. The death penalty is on the table. Then to Provo, Utah, where the prosecution rested in the Tracey Grist "family trap" trial and the defense put the sixty-year-old grandmother on the stand as their first witness. She said the texts about strangling her son-in-law were "ridiculous." She said her son is lying to the family. She said a lot of things. And finally, to Fairfax, California — where one driver, four dead teenagers, and a TikTok about wrestling have torn a small town completely apart. Join our new FB groups page here. Take the poll!
