In today's episode, podcast host Amanda Lamb switches chairs with WRAL anchor Debra Morgan for a very intimate interview. For the past year Amanda and the team at WRAL Studios have been working on "The Killing Month August 1978," a true crime series. The story takes place in rural Pennsylvania and follows the exploits of a crime family whose empire starts crumbling when snitches begin talking to police. That's when witnesses started to disappear. Some of them were found shot to death and buried alive in hand-dug graves. Amanda's father, William Lamb, was the district attorney who prosecuted the killers. She shares her personal story with Debra and the backstory behind the podcast.
