Welcome! If you've ever thought to yourself, I wish there was a podcast that succinctly summarized all the must-know from the true crime news cycle so I could stay in the know  - well, now there is. In the introduction episode of True Crime Updates, your host Emmy shares her story of how she came to be a true crime junkie herself, during an RV roadtrip across America, and the truly insane week of true crime that inspired her to start this podcast.

Then, we'll go into updates on several unfolding cases making headlines this week, including:
1. What the heck is happening with Elizabeth Holmes and what's next for her case.
2. The federal hate crime trial for the killers of Ahmaud Arbery (NOTE: at the time of recording, this trial had not yet kicked off. It since has begun. More updates on this to come.)
3. Where things stand as of now in the upcoming Paul Flores trial for the murder of Kristen Smart.

Plus, Emmy shares three true crime-inspired shows and documentaries you need to watch, and goes into a rant about some disappointing news that has the internet abuzz, from everyone's favorite OG true crime podcast...
