Stephanie Young

No one's been willing to talk.

For a long time, the closest thing we had was this one website, justiceforlaura.com.

On the homepage, there's a photo of Laura, smiling.

We've had a voice actor read from the About section.

Justice for Laura exists because of a prosecution that simply does not resemble anything we normally see in American courts.

A large, coordinated faction of Clayton's fans, which came to call itself Justice for Clayton, JFC,

had seized on the story and fixated on a single claim that laura had faked the pregnancy and fabricated everything around it actually on june 10 2024 a judge ruled that laura was never pregnant with clayton's twins we don't know who owns this website but i have a few guesses

I asked Reality Steve, who's been covering this for almost three years, if he's ever talked with a friend of Laura's.

He said no, neither him nor Dave Neal have.

In episode two, I said the same thing.

No one who knew Laura would go on the record for an interview.

But that changed this week.

One of Laura's childhood friends reached out to our show.

She had something to say.

She would only speak to us if we kept her anonymous and disguised her voice.

We asked for verification of her friendship with Laura, and she sent receipts.

We didn't know what to expect, if she would defend Laura or not.

but we agreed to the interview.

We're going to call her Emily, which isn't her real name.

What you're going to hear is a voice actor replicating Emily's tape word for word.
