For Episode 166, I had the incredible honor of hosting authors Nancy Grace and Benee Knauer to discuss their powerful new book, What Happened to Ellen: A Miscarriage of American Justice.
Our conversation explored the heartbreaking case of Ellen Rae Greenberg, the authors’ remarkable collaboration, and their unwavering fight for justice. The authors share how this case first captured their attention and walk us through their meticulous collaborative process. The depth of research and the genuine care they poured into telling Ellen’s story are evident on every page. Nancy Grace and Benee Knauer’s passion and commitment to truth shine through every word—both in their book and in this interview. All proceeds from the sale of the book go to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
Thank you, Nancy and Benee, for sharing this important story with us on the podcast!
