Infamous

A man goes missing. Fifteen months later, his family finds a fresh concrete slab poured in his backyard. What's buried underneath changes everything.

Five years ago, journalist Justine van der Leun started sending letters to Kwaneta Harris, a convicted murderer in a Texas prison. She was also a gifted writer, "Mama Detroit" to the women around her. She swore the story wasn’t what it seemed.

So Justine went digging. What she found was a decade-long relationship curdled, a body under a concrete slab, and a trail of stolen identities and lies. Who is Kwaneta Harris?

Andrew Tate built an online empire by selling young men a fantasy of wealth, dominance, and absolute power over women. But behind the cartoonish “pimp” persona, prosecutors allege something way darker: a sprawling human trafficking operation. New Yorker investigative reporter Heidi Blake joins Vanessa and Natalie to discuss her excellent article, “Andrew Tate’s Empire of Abuse.”Since this conversation was recorded, the brothers have been arrested in Miami and are fighting extradition to the UK, where they now face dozens of criminal charges.
