Off the Record: Mollie Tibbetts and the Grief They Hijacked
Manage episode 500942242 series 2937738
What happens when the worst day of your life becomes a talking point on national TV?
In this special ‘Off the Record’ episode, we go deeper into the making of our two-part story on Mollie Tibbetts. I sit down with my co-producer Olivia Heusinkveld to unpack why we told this story, what didn’t make it into the episode, and the uncomfortable questions we wrestled with along the way. We talk about the political hijacking of Mollie’s story, the haunting parallels to Aiden Clark, and the reality behind the headlines about immigrants and crime.
