Hey, true crime besties. Welcome back to an all new episode of Serialously.
Hello, hello, hello, and welcome back to an all new episode of Serialously with me, your host, Annie Elise. Happy Thursday.
Holy shit. A lot has gone on this week so far. There is so much that we need to talk about. There's the Bryan Kohberger of it all with him saying that he's innocent, and he wants to withdraw his guilty plea. There's David now officially going to trial. The judge deemed that there was enough evidence, which, hello, obviously. But officially now moving forward to trial, a lot of things that came out in the preliminary hearing that are very disturbing. One of the biggest questions I think so many people had was, okay, what did Celeste's family know?
We're getting a little bit more information on that. There's also this horrifying new case with this woman named Sara who did the Netflix trend that I'm sure so many of you saw, where you sit down in the chair, you're making your fake documentary. I did one for being addicted to Diet Coke. She did one about her soon to be ex-husband, only to then be murdered by him allegedly shortly after that. There are also updates to cases. There's more audio that has been released in the Nolan Wells case, where it's been transcribed and Nancy Grace is on the necks of everyone in that case. There is so much going on. If you're brand new here and it's one of your first episodes, let me just give you a quick little housekeeping announcement. Mondays, I release a deep dive into a single episode, and then Thursdays, Headline Highlights, where I break down everything going on in real time this week in true crime. But you know what? I don't do it alone. I like to always have a surprise guest, an expert, a person in the industry, or just someone else to weigh in.
You know, it's unfortunate because we've never had the same guest twice. We just are constantly turning over new guests. So with that, I'd really like to welcome to the show today's episode, Amy Colette. Hello.

**Amy Colette** (2:31)
It's such a shock and honor to be here. Thank you.

**Annie Elise** (2:33)
Welcome for your first time ever.

**Amy Colette** (2:36)
Oh, I'm nervous.

**Annie Elise** (2:38)
I also want to apologize to everybody. I know the audio is a little bit trash again this week. It's because we're recording via StreamYard back in studio next week with regular equipment, to which, Amy, I just have one thing I want to say to you. Actually, something I'd like to sing to you, if you'll allow.

**Amy Colette** (2:58)
Okay. I'd love to hear.

**Annie Elise** (3:00)
Okay.

**Amy Colette** (3:00)
I'll be ready.

**Annie Elise** (3:02)
I'm coming home. I'm coming home.

**Amy Colette** (3:06)
Tell the world I'm coming home. I'm not even kidding you. I swear, I wish I would have just started singing because that song was playing in my head when you said, we back. And I feel like we share a wavelength, like when it comes to music.

**Annie Elise** (3:22)
I know.

**Amy Colette** (3:23)
But with music specifically, you communicate through song.

**Annie Elise** (3:26)
Or by look.
No, I have to say though, I know you were not on TikTok. That song is like the trending song for when people are reunited with their family from being overseas with the military, the army. And every single time I cry like a baby when I see those videos. So obviously, not comparing our homecoming to that. But excited to be back in studio with you.

**Amy Colette** (3:53)
There might be some tears. I don't know if it will happen.

**Annie Elise** (3:56)
There are sad tears that are back. Everybody's like, we don't want her to come back.

**Amy Colette** (3:59)
It'll be a mix.

**Annie Elise** (4:00)
Yeah. Great. Well, I know there's a couple of things we have talked about already on the side this week.
Lots going on. I want to start with this Bryan Kohberger update. This guy, I'm trying to mind my mouth. This guy, I can't even. You know what? I'm not shocked. And I know you know this. Because when we went on tour last fall, this was a big segment within the Headline Highlights portion of the show, is I called this months ago. I was like, they're pushing paperwork for it right now. That doesn't make sense because he's already agreed to a guilty plea. Why is this happening? Are they trying to lay the foundation for him withdrawing his plea or filing an appeal? And here we are, what?
