3w ago01:07:04Summary readyThe Knife is a weekly true crime podcast from journalist/producers Hannah Smith and Patia Eaton.It's a show about people who’ve been dropped into a story they didn't start, but are left to finish. In-depth interviews take the listener behind the punchy headlines to hear what really happened from the people who lived it. The Knife reveals the ripple effect of crime. Through empathetic, solution-oriented journalism, Hannah and Patia find the untold stories of people who’ve been touched by crime.

Ashlee and Kristal join us from Perth, Australia, to discuss their mother Donna Nelson's case. In January 2023, their 58-year-old mother was arrested in Tokyo on international drug-smuggling charges.
