Nobody Should Believe Me - S7 E1: The Catalyst
Welcome to Season Seven of Nobody Should Believe Me. Andrea revisits the case of Maya Kowalski—the story at the center of the Netflix film Take Care of Maya–and the family’s high-profile lawsuit against Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital. What became widely framed as a story about “medical kidnapping” began when hospital staff reported suspected medical child abuse after Maya arrived with a history of extreme ketamine treatments. How did a case of horrific abuse become a story about evil doctors kidnapping children? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Relisha Rudd & The Fight for Missing People of Color
In this bonus episode of Truer Crime, we return to the disappearance of eight-year-old Relisha Rudd. In 2014, Relisha vanished from a Washington, D.C. homeless shelter. She was not officially reported missing for eighteen days. More than a decade later, she has never been found. I’m joined by Derrica Wilson and Natalie Wilson, co-founders of the Black and Missing Foundation, to discuss their two-part YouTube docuseries, The Vanishing of Relisha Rudd: A Cold Case Re-examined, and the broader patterns that shape cases like hers. We talk about media disparities, reporting delays, public alert systems that aren’t always activated, and what it means to advocate for missing people of color inside systems that don’t respond equally. To learn more about the Black and Missing Foundation or watch the docuseries: bamfi.org hwb5k.org Find all action items, sources, and resources in the show notes at truercrimepodcast.com.
