The Knife is a weekly true crime podcast from journalist/producers Hannah Smith and Patia Eaton.

It's a show about people who’ve been dropped into a story they didn't start, but are left to finish. In-depth interviews take the listener behind the punchy headlines to hear what really happened from the people who lived it. The Knife reveals the ripple effect of crime. Through empathetic, solution-oriented journalism, Hannah and Patia find the untold stories of people who’ve been touched by crime. They’re not breaking news or solving cases, they’re cutting to the heart of the experience through gripping, first-person storytelling. 

Ashlee and Kristal join us from Perth, Australia, to discuss their mother Donna Nelson's case. In January 2023, their 58-year-old mother was arrested in Tokyo on international drug-smuggling charges. Right away, they suspected the man Donna had been dating online. Together, Ashlee and Kristal share their family’s heartbreaking story, their ongoing fight for justice, and the warning signs of the elder drug mule scam.

Sometimes the scammer is 'the good guy' exploiting a tiny loophole in a giant corporation's promotion designed to move their product off store shelves. And this promotion in particular backfires spectacularly - and our David in this David and Goliath story walks away with $800,000 in airline miles and becomes a folk hero to the 'little guys' all over the world. And the ultimate Godwink here is that this guy's name is actually David! (David Phillips)
