In this episode we read Behind The Staircase by Michael Peterson. We’ve all seen the famous documentary, but what else is there?

Michael Peterson was convicted of murdering his wife, Kathleen, in 2001 and has maintained his innocence to this day. In this episode we do a recap of his book, Behind the Staircase, discuss alternative theories, and try to bring a new outlook to the case.
