Killing Dad Podcast premieres with two episodes
Audio Up’s newest podcast, Killing Dad: A First-Degree has made its worldwide debut with first two episodes. A 2014 headline said it all at the time the Crystal Howell murder case exploded into public view; “Teen kills dad, stuffs his body in a storage bin, buys stripper pole, and hosts parties.” Although these were, and still are, startling facts of the now infamous case of Crystal Howell, there’s so much more to the story.
For the past nine years, since she was just 17, Howell has been incarcerated in prison. Now 26-years old, she is telling her story for the first time exclusively to journalists Melissa McCarty and Kelly McLear in a new 10-part podcast series, Killing Dad: A First-Degree Mistake, produced by Audio Up and distributed by Audio Boom.
Killing Dad: A First-Degree Mistake includes exclusive prison interviews with Crystal that ‘tell-all’; including first-hand accounts from her best friends who discovered the body and lived at the house after her father was killed. Plus, the shocking revelation of an accomplice who helped dispose of Michael Howell’s body.
Listeners will hear horrific family secrets and eye-opening interviews with friends and family who put this twisted-tale into a new perspective, along with new evidence and information that throws the callous killer title into question. Howell is currently serving 30-years to Life on a plea deal, a Draconian sentence for a juvenile, and the series dives into the legal aspect of her case with famed former California prosecutor Matt Murphy, a world renowned child psychologist and the Haywood County District Attorney, who is speaking publicly for the first time.
Killing Dad: A First-Degree Mistake, is produced by Audio Up and distributed by Audio Boom, and will make its worldwide premiere beginning with episodes 1 & 2 across all podcast platforms.
