About this episode

Shelley, the sister of murdered Josette Wright, discusses the claims made in the Bone Valley podcast and her experience of loss.

On October 3, 1994, 12-year-old Josette Wright vanished from Carmel, New York. Months later, hunters discovered her remains. She had been murdered. Local drug dealers, Anthony DiPippo and Andrew Krivak, were arrested and charged with Josette's rape and murder. They were first convicted in 1997. Between them, they went through five trials before being acquitted of the crime in 2016 and 2023, respectively. Now, the Lava for Good podcast Bone Valley—in partnership with Rolling Stone magazine— is covering Josette's case in its fifth season. Editor and writer Paul Solotaroff is the writer and host behind the season. In those episodes, Bone Valley makes numerous claims. In this episode, we will talk to Josette's eldest sister, Shelley. She will address many of those claims made in Bone Valley, and share her experience losing her youngest sister in such a violent, sudden manner.
