Episode 124: The Bizarre Case of Amanda Knox


 

The American exchange student skipped home - her life in Italy was perfect.

She had great roommates and a new Italian boyfriend. Nothing could ruin her time abroad.

That is - till she finds the door to her apartment wide open, blood smeared all over her bathroom, and one of her roommates dead in her room.

Her “strange behavior” makes her a target for the police. I mean would an innocent person do yoga in the police station, journal about pizza during an interrogation, and “make-out” with her boyfriend while police are around?
