Julie Murray believes that True Crime content should focus on the humanity of the victim rather than the mystery of the crime.

“Mar has been lost in many ways in the coverage of Her Own Story y and and she's been seen as a character and not as a real human and that was something that I wanted to make sure everyone um heard who the real person was at the center of this tragedy”

True crime audiences are enamored with the criminal lifestyle, which leads them to watch shows about mobsters despite the violence involved.

“I think people are just enamored with that lifestyle and then after that you kind of grow into your drug movies like you know Blow and and stuff like that and George Young and that's that's kind we I wasn't even going to talk about this.”

Wade Pfau suggests that the reason people lie about their criminal experiences is to compete with the dramatic stories of others for clout.

“I don't get it they the problem is they can't really tell their stories they don't know enough detail and it falls apart and there's so many of those guys out there”

Brett Keane claims that it is difficult to verify the truth of criminal stories because the people involved are often deceased.

“every story involves someone that is no longer with us so to verify that they're lying is very very difficult right”
