The Case Against Tiktok Sleuths: Nicola Bulley ft. Sarah Manavis
Added 2023-03-17 10:26:56 +0000 UTCWriter and Columnist Sarah Manavis joins us to talk about the genre of live amateur true crime detective videos appearing on Tiktok, focusing on how users have exploited the real missing person case of Nicola Bulley to speculate wildly, accuse people with little evidence, disturb potential crime scenes looking for "clues the police missed", and above all, grow their own audiences.

I remember watching the Netflix series on hotel Cecil and they had an “internet sleuth” on and it was so uncomfortable whenever he spoke. He had created a para social relationship with the lady who had disappeared and if I remember right he had a friend who lived in the town that the ladies family lived and had her body repatriated to and got them to take a video of her gravestone
