Amanda Lamb's connection to

It’s not every day that you get to work with your dad on the project of a lifetime. That’s the gift I have experienced for the past year as I delved into one of his old cases to create a true crime serial podcast for WRAL, “The Killing Month August 1978.”  Even though I was just an adolescent at the time, it was a murder case that always stuck with me—six people dead, shot, and in some cases, even buried alive. The criminals were a band of brothers known as the Johnston Gang who killed witnesses when they threatened to snitch on them to police. My dad, William Lamb, was the prosecutor, who along with a very talented assistant district attorney and a dedicated group of investigators, sought justice in this case. In today’s episode, I have the privilege of interviewing my dad in person about what this experience has been like working with me on the podcast and about what he thinks about the final product.
