Blunt Force Trauma is a new serialised investigation into the unsolved murder of Faithe Ely, from EchoSpace and host Troy Taylor (from award winning podcast Among The Missing).
On March 28, 2021, Faith Ely was found lifeless on the side of a dark Oklahoma highway, her death quickly being ruled a hit and run.
But the evidence doesn’t line up. The injuries don’t tell a clear story. And the more you dig, the harder it becomes to make sense of the official narrative. What should be a straightforward accident begins to feel anything but…

Not sure why the other reviews are so negative. This formidable mother’s only chance at justice is this podcast because her daughter’s case was never properly investigated. Roadblocks at every turn. A boyfriend with a history of violence against women immediately cleared as a suspect. There’s something more going on, whether that’s laziness, a cover up, or authorities simply avoiding responsibility for this mess of a case. My only issue was Rosemary’s audio being too low quality. Otherwise these hosts seem dedicated to helping this family.

This case is so compelling and complex, I’m glad that Troy Taylor has such a slow and soothing voice, because like so many murder investigations, breaking this case down is hard to listen to. but Faithe’s story deserves to be told.

The last two episodes released of the interview with Ryan are completely impossible to hear. There is loud background noise which makes the episodes useless. I can’t believe these episodes were released this way.

It’s not a bad show except the host talks too about himself. He’s not part of the story, but it’s always “I’m sitting here flabbergasted…” etc.
Just tell the story. Leave yourself out of it. Also they are REALLY clutching at straws trying to make this more mysterious than it is.
