The Letter

In August 1996, 19-year-old Zach Snarr took his friend Yvette to a secluded reservoir to take photos of the moon. But their date was interrupted by “George” Benvenuto, a stranger who fatally shot Zach and wounded Yvette without provocation. Zach’s family wanted justice, hoping Benvenuto would rot in prison. But the years brought little comfort and grief turned to anger. That’s when the letter came.

“The Letter” from Lemonada and KSL Podcasts looks at the effects of the murder on the Snarr family and their journey of restorative justice with the man who murdered their son. It’s an intimate portrait of those affected by the shooting and the unexpected ways they cope with it.

OUR SPOILER-FREE REVIEWS OF "THE LETTER" BEGIN IN THE FINAL TEN MINUTES OF THE EPISODE.
