About this episode

Becky and Bevy discuss the dangers of allowing bail for violent criminals through the tragic case of Aniah Blanchard.

Today on LOTW, Becky and Bevy discuss the dangers of allowing bail for violent criminals. Aniah Blanchard was nineteen, a college student with a close family and a future she was just beginning to build. She was the kind of daughter who checked in, who kept her parents close even as she carved out her independence. One night, she stopped at a convenience store — a routine errand, nothing out of the ordinary. But when she didn’t come home, her family knew something was wrong. What followed was a search that stretched across counties, pulling together friends, strangers, and investigators, all trying to understand how a simple stop could end in tragedy.
