The Real Killer Returns with a 1997 Murder Investigation

iHeartMedia, the world’s leading podcast publisher (as ranked by Podtrac), and AYR Media have unveiled the much-anticipated third season of their acclaimed true crime podcast, The Real Killer.

Premiering today, the new season is hosted by investigative journalist Leah Rothman and promises to unravel one of the most confounding murder mysteries of the late 1990s. Rothman and AYR Media�s Aliza Rosen serve as executive producers of the series.

This season delves into the haunting case of Anastasia WitbolsFeugen, an 18-year-old whose life was tragically taken on a fall evening in 1997. What begins as a straightforward murder case quickly spirals into a complex investigation, challenging everything audiences thought they knew about criminal justice.

Through meticulous reporting, Rothman reveals the layers of a case fraught with questionable evidence and perplexing twists. At the center of the story lies a single recorded phone call and an eyewitness testimony, both of which play critical roles in a narrative that may leave listeners wondering: Is the real killer already behind bars, or is the true perpetrator still at large?

“We’re not just telling a story,” says Rothman. “We’re challenging perceptions and presenting new evidence that will force listeners to question everything they think they know about this case.”

Key Highlights of Season Three:

• In-Depth Investigation: A thorough exploration of Anastasia�s tragic murder and its surrounding circumstances.
• Exclusive Access: Never-before-heard evidence, including hours of police interrogations with key witnesses.
• Dynamic Storytelling: A narrative that continually shifts listener perspectives, keeping them engaged and questioning every development.

Premiere Details:

• When: The first two episodes of The Real Killer are available starting today, January 9.
