Episode 55 Amy Butcher

Amy Butcher never expected to be close to a killer. But while attending Gettysburg College, her friend, Kevin Schaeffer, murdered his ex-girlfriend Emily Silverstein right after walking Amy home from a bar. Even though she wasn’t the victim of such an awful crime, Amy’s world turned upside down that fateful night. Author of the memoir, Visiting Hours, Amy spent years trying to figure out how to juxtapose her understanding of who Kevin was with the convicted murderer he became.
