Amy Robach and TJ Holmes present Killer Thriller with your host, Elisa Donovan.
Hey, everyone. Elisa Donovan here, and this is Killer Thriller. Today, we are talking about one of the most infamous and controversial true crime cases of the modern era, the case of Amanda Knox. In November of 2007, Amanda was a 20-year-old American student studying abroad in Perugia, Italy, when her roommate, 21-year-old British student Meredith Kircher, was brutally murdered in the house they shared. Within days, the Italian police arrested Knox, along with her brand-new boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito. What followed was nearly a decade of legal chaos, convictions, appeals, retrials, and a global media frenzy. Amanda spent almost four years in an Italian prison, and then only years later, years later, Italy's highest court ultimately cleared her of the murder.
She is the executive producer of The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox, which revisits the investigation, the headlines, and how she became the center of an international spectacle. Amanda, thank you so much for being here today. Well, thank you so much for having me. I have to say straight away, I truly... I'm in awe of you as a human being. And I just want to say that this series is phenomenal, that it's heartbreaking and it's beautiful and it's magic. I just, I can't say enough great things about it. So. Oh, well, thank you. Really am thrilled. Thank you. I mean, it was a work of love for so many people who took part in it.
