If you’ve watched the HBO Max limited series ‘The Staircase’ and/or the documentary series it’s based on, then this episode of the Parting Shot is for you. Newsweek’s H. Alan Scott is joined by writer/comedian Brent Sullivan to break down a true crime case they’ve been discussing for years: the 2001 death of Kathleen Peterson. Was it murder? Was it an accident? And was Michael Peterson involved? We break down the facts of the case and offer our own thoughts on some of the theories about the case (and yes, we talk about the owl theory).
