In this episode of Up & Adam, we sit down with two remarkable figures in the true crime world: Lauren Bright Pacheco, an Emmy Award-winning journalist and seasoned true-crime host, and Bob Motta, a veteran criminal defense attorney and creator of the acclaimed podcast Defense Diaries. Together, they delve into their latest collaboration, Murder on Songbird Road, a gripping podcast series that re-examines the 2020 stabbing death of 11-year-old Jade Marie Beasley in Southern Illinois. Through their investigation, Lauren and Bob explore whether justice was truly served or if an innocent woman remains wrongfully convicted.
