INTERVIEW: Laurah Norton (Lay Them to Rest)

I was lucky enough to get an advance copy of Laurah Norton's new book: "Lay Them to Rest: On the Road with the Cold Case Investigators Who Identify the Nameless." Laurah, also the host of The Fall Line and One Strange Thing Podcasts, has written a riveting book about how investigators, experts, and forensic scientists identify Jane or John Doe Cases. In her book, she focuses on one case in particular, Ina Jane Doe, whose partial remains were found in a state park in Illinois in January of 1993. The incredible part? Laurah and her team of experts managed to figure out who Ina was. Now, they are hoping to solve her murder.You can find Laura's book, Lay Them to Rest, where you get your books. I strongly recommend it to those looking for something passionately, meticulously researched, and written. Laurah has a background in creative writing and archival and primary research, which makes "Lay Them to Rest" a page-turner full of information I had never known about Doe and Cold Cases. You can find Laurah on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter – I've linked to all of her social, as well as the book, in the description. You can also find her at laurahnorton.com and check out her book on laythemtorestbook.comEnjoy my interview with Laurah. Laura's Social: https://www.instagram.com/laythemtorest/ https://twitter.com/thewholesea?lang=en ---Support the show on PatreonSupport the show on Buy me a Coffee---DISCLAIMER:The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are that of the creator and do not necessarily reflect that of any of the guests on this show.
