Her podcast, Voices for Justice, features unsolved missing persons cases families come to her every day looking for help and publicity to find their loved ones, she says. She’d felt revictimized by both law enforcement and true crime content producers - the latter looking to seize upon family tragedy, she believed, to manipulate narratives while riding the wave of the true crime pop culture phenomenon. Ms Turney began her own podcast three years ago, from the closet of her suburban Phoenix home. She says families such as hers are retraumatized when cases are treated as entertainment. She says her sister has become “voiceless,” prompting her own efforts to speak in Maura’s absence - including about the ethics of true crime content and “the victims and families left behind in the wake of these tragedies.” I mean, Maura has been completely humiliated and dehumanized all over the internet, and her 21-year-old decision-making skills have been plastered all over the internet. there’s no bounds to what they say, nothing is off limits.
“I mean, there’s people out there that do this case on Reddit or wherever, other forums, all day and all night.It’s a dark obsession, and it’s exploitative. “It’s become people’s pastime,” Ms Murray tells The Independent. They soon recognised it as a “double-edged” sword, Ms Murray says without control of the narrative, their family stories were commandeered in unimaginable and hurtful ways. Both sisters-turned-advocates saw the potential of using the internet to find their disappeared siblings.
