A podcast about the case of missing California college student Kristin Smart helped lead investigators to arrest a father and son in the cold case.
"Your Own Backyard" was certainly a godsend for Denise and Stan Smart, who never gave up hope that their oldest daughter would be found and her killer brought to justice.
Over the course of 10 episodes, Lambert interviews Kristin's parents, her best friends, her college roommate who was with her the night she disappeared, and women who knew Paul Flores. Ian Parkinson announced the arrest of Flores and his father, he made sure to give Lambert some of the credit. That simple technique is highly effective, said Michael Arntfield, a professor and criminologist with the Cold Case Society at Canada's Western University and author of"How to Solve A Cold Case: And Everything Else You Wanted To Know About Catching Killers."
A bad podcast done quickly and steeped in rumor and conjecture can create"a tidal wave of misinformation" and lead police down rabbit holes.
