单集简介 ...

On October 21, 2023, beloved Detroit community leader Samantha Woll was found brutally stabbed to death outside her home—two weeks to the day after the October 7 attacks on Israel. It looked like an open-and-shut case—a hate crime. But swiftly the police ruled that out. Instead they eventually found themselves with two unrelated suspects. When they charged one with murder, the case took a turn that raised questions about antisemitism, race, and justice in America. Hosted by The Free Press’s Frannie Block, this podcast features exclusive interviews and explores the remarkable, too-short life of Woll and the impact she had. And ⁠Spiral⁠ tells the bizarre twists and turns of one of Detroit’s most haunting recent crimes. Become a paid subscriber to The Free Press to binge the full series today, and with reduced ads.

单集文稿 ...

  • Two years ago today, Detroit was shaken by a brutal killing.

  • Samantha Wohl, the president of the city's last synagogue,

  • was murdered, stabbed eight times outside of her home.

  • The headlines came and they went, but the questions didn't.

  • For a year, our reporters have been searching for the truth,

  • and what they found is more complicated and more haunting than anyone imagined.

  • Spiral murder in Detroit is out now.

  • Here's the trailer.

  • When Samantha Wall, the beloved president of the only remaining synagogue in downtown Detroit,

  • was murdered in October 2023, shockwaves ripped through a grieving city in a polarized world.

  • We didn't know how it happened, who did it.

  • We didn't know any of that.

  • And the thing is, no one has ever been convicted of her murder.

  • I can't say for sure who did it, but I can for sure tell you who didn't do it.

  • It doesn't add up.

  • It keeps this lingering doubt.

  • It doesn't put the period on the end of the sentence.

  • We're sitting here with an ellipsis.

  • It's pretty surreal that she is effectively the subject of a murder mystery saga.

  • It's just heart-wrenching, and all of the details of this are extremely bizarre.
