Investigative journalist and military veteran Sarah Fields joins the show to recount her experience reporting on the murder of Austin Metcalf—an incident tied to Karmelo Anthony and two high-school students at a track meet. She describes the reporting process, the evidence she uncovered, and the personal cost of covering a case that exploded into a high-stakes public controversy. What followed, she says, was a targeted campaign to discredit and silence her: use of government agencies (including Child Protective Services and law enforcement) to intimidate witnesses, pressure sources, and even launch attacks on the presiding judge. This episode is a firsthand look at the risks investigative reporters face when powerful and corrupt deep state forces push back.
