A true crime podcaster from Appalachia blurs the line between fact and entertainment as she investigates a mysterious local death

Transcript

00:00I read the case balls and I was like, murder, cover up, what the hell?

00:04That needs to be handled, so why not me?

00:09Mile Marker 181 is a true crime podcast.

00:12I'm your host, Emily.

00:13I started this podcast to find the answers about what really happened to Julia Davis.

00:18It's like this local obsession.

00:20There's always somebody that wants to talk about it.

00:22Experts that have looked at this said it's bizarre.

00:25The people involved maybe got in a fight or maybe kicked Julia out of the car.

00:30Then somebody came along and plowed her down.

00:32Her clothes were in a really suspicious order.

00:35It was bra first and then her peacoat over top of that.

00:38They killed her in one of the worst ways.

00:40From the blood patterns, from acceleration marks in the roadway, 90% points to murder.

00:47The podcast hit 20 on iTunes, like on all of iTunes.

00:50I'm almost to 2 million overall downloads now.

00:53Crazy.

00:54I was never out to make money off of it.

00:55I just want to know everything.

00:57She didn't go to school for journalism.

00:59She doesn't have any background in forensics or crime or anything like that.

01:05The more attention you get for it, the more accountable you have to be for what you're putting out.

01:09You do agree with the conclusion that it was an accident?

01:12Yes, I do.

01:13You can't trust anybody to give you the full truth because everybody's trying to cover their own ass.

01:18Grandpa, Roger.

01:19I carry that.

01:20There's a pathology with radical claims of disagreement with law enforcement.

01:24So I've got to consider that.

01:26The network reached out and wanted to do advertisements.

01:29The more I got into it, the more like sleazy that it felt.

01:33You're not more than one generation from poor white trash.

01:36It's a high pressure to perform.

01:38Did you talk to Freddie Scott?

01:39No.

01:39Did you talk to Katie Nelson?

01:41I have not talked to Katie Nelson.

01:42Nobody murdered Julia.

01:44People have started to demand answers out of me.

01:46People will demand facts.

01:49She's making up all these lies.

01:50Science backs us up.

01:51Timing backs us up.

01:52I'm just working for the truth.

01:54The truth is really ugly.

02:02I don't even know if I'm a good person anymore.

02:04I don't even know if I'm a good person anymore.
