Your Own Backyard podcast

The "Your Own Backyard" podcast is a true-crime series that gained significant attention for its in-depth investigation into the 1996 disappearance and presumed murder of California college student Kristin Smart. The podcast, hosted by Chris Lambert, meticulously re-examined evidence and interviewed key figures, ultimately leading to renewed interest and action in the cold case.

During these searches, soil testing at the California house uncovered evidence indicating the presence of human remains. While the remains have not yet been officially identified as Kristin Smart's, this discovery represents a significant and potentially crucial breakthrough in the long-standing case. The podcast's relevance lies in its direct impact on bringing closure to the Smart family and potentially solving the mystery surrounding her fate after nearly three decades.
