A new 10-part true-crime podcast, Executive Produced and Edited by Zac Stuart-Pontier, co-creator of Crimetown. Imagine if, one day, you are accused of something. Something horrible, violent, heinous. Something you swear you did not do, and nothing you say can convince anyone otherwise — even the people closest to you. That’s Sophia Johnson’s story. Sophia was starting fresh: A new life, a new husband, a baby on the way. But it all unraveled on January 10, 2002, when her mother-in-law Marlyne Johnson was found bludgeoned to death in her home. Days later, Sophia was charged with the murder. To this day, Sophia swears she didn’t do it. But someone says they witnessed it — her own brother. When family betrays family, who do you believe? In this story of a sibling rivalry beyond compare, WBUR’s Amory Sivertson turns the clock back. She reexamines an unsolved case, a family torn apart, and a woman who wasn’t believed. From WBUR and ZSP Media, Beyond All Repair is a 10-part true crime investigation into a cold case. The series ends with an answer. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
Hi everyone.
Zach here.
Its been a long time.
How you doing?
Okay.
I wanted to let you know about a new true crime show ive been working on called beyond all repair.
Its a collaboration with WBUR in Boston and its hosted by Anne Marie Severtson of endless thread.
Its the story of a woman named Sophia Johnson who was accused of murdering her mother in law with a pair of fireplace tongs.
She swears she didnt do it, but someone says they witnessed it.
Her own brother.
Anne Marie has spent the last three years talking to Sophia and everyone surrounding this crime.
And one of the main reasons that Sophia is talking to Anne Marie is that at the time of the murder she was six months pregnant.
Shes never met her son and she wants to try to clear her name.
There are a bunch of episodes out now, but were going to drop the first one here right now.
Hope you enjoyed.
Heads up.
This show has descriptions of violence and strong language.
Shane.
You have no idea how much I'm trying to protect you, little brother.
You don't know it yet, but you're being misled.
