The Clearing

Today we're sharing the first episode of The Disappearance of Nuseiba Hasan, a new season of Conviction created by our colleagues at Gimlet. Listen to the full series here. Nobody seems to know what happened to Nuseiba Hasan, a Jordanian-Canadian woman, who, in 2006, suddenly vanished without a trace. That is until someone from her past resurfaced, searching for justice. For the last three years, investigative journalist Habiba Nosheen has been trying to find out what happened to Nuseiba. But some people want the truth to stay hidden. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Listen to the first two episodes of The Clearing starting July 18.  When April Balascio was 40 years old, something she’d feared for decades was finally proven true. Her father, Edward Wayne Edwards, really was a murderer. The Clearing is about what came after April called a detective in 2009 to tell him about her suspicions — a call that led to her father’s arrest and eventual conviction on multiple murders — and tracks the emotional journey as she and host Josh Dean dig back into her childhood, unravel the truth of her father’s life, and overturn a viral online narrative that had turned Edward Wayne Edwards into a kind of serial killer caricature.  Produced by Pineapple Street Media in association with Gimlet.  Learn more about your ad choices.
