Murder She Told
Monday, August 5th, 7pm
Joseph L. Ferris Community Center
The Brewer Public Library invites all true crime enthusiasts, podcast aficionados, and community members to join Kristen Seavey, host of the popular podcast Murder She Told, on August 5th at 7pm at the Joseph L. Ferris Community Center for an evening of intrigue and insight into the crimes of Maine.
Murder, She Told, a Top 10 True Crime Podcasts on both Apple Podcasts and Spotify, was created out of a desire to dig deeper into true crime cases from New England that weren’t being told on other podcasts in hopes of giving families a platform to have their voice heard, and heighten public awareness of unsolved cases. Kristen is a credentialed victim’s advocate, and a professional actor who has worked in film, tv, and theater across the country.
