Blunt Force Trauma

In March 2021, after Faithe Ely left a cookout, her body was found on the side of a rural Oklahoma highway. Officials from one law enforcement agency said it looked like a hit and run accident; however, members of the Highway Patrol weren’t so sure. Her boyfriend said Faithe stormed off after a drunken altercation, and that a white truck towing a black trailer had been traveling in that direction before she was found. Five years later, her family still wants answers as to who was responsible for Faithe’s death — and whether it was an intentional act.

The podcast “Blunt Force Trauma” from EchoSpace looks into the death of Faithe Ely, asking whether her death was a pedestrian accident or premeditated murder. Host Troy Taylor sifts through the evidence with experts and family members to learn the circumstances of the incident — and asks why murder investigators think it was an accident and accident investigators think it might be murder.
