True Crime Wave: The Lure of Conspiracy Theories with Sam McGuire

Sam McGuire studies conspiracy theories. He is a master's graduate from OCAD University in Toronto, Ontario. We were fortunate enough to get to talk to him about conspiracy theories, their prevalence in true crime, and how we can try to help people break the cycle of conspiratorial thinking.

In new segment, True Crime Wave, we’ll be talking about issues endemic to true crime. At its best, true crime offers the audience a way to learn about stories of crime, social issues, legal realities, and the real human beings at the heart of cases. It can be educational and compassionate and cathartic and thoughtful and incisive, and it can help raise awareness of cases. Good true crime can show case all kinds of different perspectives. It can center journalism, advocacy, legal analysis, investigative approaches, the experiences of survivors or victims’ families, and more. That is all very good. But too often, we see true crime devolve. We have seen online mobs, harassment, conspiracy theories, ethics-washing, and more. True crime won’t get better on its own. We think talking about these things will help.

Under Suspicion: Denise Huskins and Aaron Quinn on Trauma, Injustice, and Surviving Their "American Nightmare"

Under Suspicion: Denise Huskins and Aaron Quinn on Trauma, Injustice, and Surviving Their "American Nightmare"

Denise Huskins and Aaron Quinn survived an unimaginable trauma on the early morning of March 23, 2015. Criminals invaded Quinn's home as the couple slept in bed. They were both bound and drugged. Huskins was abducted and Quinn was left behind to secure a ransom payment. When both managed to survive the ordeal, they fell under suspicion from law enforcement, the media, and the public. Their harrowing and infuriating story is the focus of the Netflix true crime docu-series American Nightmare. The couple also authored a book on the case: Victim F: From Crime Victims to Suspects to Survivors. In this interview with The Murder Sheet, Huskins and Quinn will discuss the awful crime they both survived, subsequent legal wranglings, lingering questions about other suspects and law enforcement misconduct, and the possible changes that could make police invesetigations fairer and compassionate.
