Anne Emerson is taking a two-week hiatus — but Criminally Obsessed is NOT going anywhere. Two incredible investigative reporters are stepping in to fill her shoes:

Valerie Bauerlein — best-selling author of The Devil at His Elbow: Alex Murdaugh and the Fall of a Southern Dynasty, and the reporter who covered the Murdaugh murder trial alongside Anne in 2023.

@KristinThorneInvestigates — investigative journalist you may know from the Gilgo Beach serial killer case or her Law & Crime documentary Vanished in Paradise: Dark Secrets on the Big Island.
