My Mom's Birthday-My Dad's Attempt To Manipulate Me Before His Parole Hearing

In this episode of Moving Past Murder, host Collier Landry reflects on how his mother would be turning 77 years young next Wednesday, September 28th.  Naturally, this turns his thoughts back to his father, who still remains incarcerated for her murder.  After a recent discussion with fellow survivor Terra Newell (of Dirty John fame), Collier realized that over the time his father has been incarcerated, he has spent at least a year of his life in prison. • After a friend tells Collier about the Netflix documentary "Sins of Our Mother", Collier reflects on his mother would have aged gracefully in her senior years. • A message via Instagram inspires Collier to share how he moves on with his own trauma, after the messenger saw his film 'A Murder in Mansfield' • Collier then opens a series of letters from his father from the late 2000's, as he was seeking his first parole hearing and to be released from prison after serving only 21 years for the murder.

Many people have experienced some form of trauma in their life. I decided at an early age that our trauma should not be what defines us; it’s what we choose to do with it that does. I was just 11 years old when I witnessed my father murder my mother. When no one believed me except one detective, I gathered evidence against my father, leading police to discover her body buried in another state.  After featuring my story on Forensic Files, I channeled my trauma into filmmaking and podcasting, gaining widespread recognition as the creator and subject of A Murder in Mansfield, a film directed by two-time Oscar winner Barbara Kopple. I share my unique perspective on surviving true crime and trauma every week, overcoming adversity, society, and popular culture. I also interview fellow trauma survivors, academics, advocates, and storytellers and explore what comes next.  You can learn more about Collier on his website: https://www.collierlandry.com
