The Gray Area

About this episode

The episode discusses the stories of two murdered teenage girls and the societal outrage surrounding their cases.

One of today’s stories was a request sent in by a listener who was curious to know what happened to their childhood babysitter. The second case is making local headlines for offering a local council chair to a murderer. So let’s get into 2026 with the same damn stories, the same damn outrage and the same damn themes. Teenage girls, disposed of like trash, their killers usually facing the smallest of consequences. Today I’ll be telling you the stories of Robyn Johns and Nikki Thrasher.
