The 2007 murder of Meredith Kercher, a British exchange student in Perugia, Italy, may be the most widely debated criminal case of the century. The victim’s American roommate, Amanda Knox, along with her Italian boyfriend and an Ivory Coast-born Perugia resident, were initially convicted of the murder. After serving four years in prison, Knox and her boyfriend were definitively acquitted on appeal.
But the case has continued to captivate the public’s attention, largely because of Knox's crusade denouncing both Italian investigators and international news coverage.
Acclaimed investigative journalist Antonio Iovane, who covered the original case, long believed that the full truth had never been revealed. To discover it required going beyond the public obsession with Knox, speaking to those directly involved and pursuing the evidence wherever it might lead.
What really happened that night in Perugia in 2007? This exclusive, seven-part podcast series is Iovane’s singular quest for the truth.
