Amanda Knox has made contact with former nurse Lucy Letby, who is currently serving a life sentence for the murder of seven babies. Amanda, acquitted of the killing of her roommate Meredith Kercher in a widely publicized case, has reached out to Letby in prison and even sent her a copy of her book. She expressed interest in meeting or speaking with Letby and, along with her husband Chris, is working on a podcast about Letby’s case.
Describing her investigation into Letby’s situation as enlightening, Amanda mentioned that she and Chris had traveled from London to Chester for further exploration and interviews with individuals linked to the case. In addition to corresponding with Letby, Amanda has also written to Letby’s parents.
Amanda, aged 38, stated, “It has been a very enlightening experience to delve into her case. Chris and I are developing a podcast series on the matter titled ‘Doubt – the case of Lucy Letby,’ offering an in-depth analysis.” She clarified that the focus of the podcast is on the case’s facts rather than Letby personally.
Speaking at an event promoting her documentary “Mouth of the Wolf” in Greenwich, London, Amanda addressed questions from the audience about her relationship with Letby.
Letby, a former neonatal nurse, is serving 15 whole-life sentences for the murder of seven babies and the attempted murder of seven others at the Countess of Chester Hospital between 2015 and 2016.
Despite calls for a new inquiry and claims of innocence, Letby’s appeals against her convictions were rejected by the Court of Appeal in May 2024.
Earlier this year, Amanda revealed her work on an investigative podcast about Letby, stating, “I’m excited to share something I’ve been working on for two years – my new podcast series, Doubt: The Case of Lucy Letby, available now on @iHeartRadio.”
Amanda expressed her surprise at the portrayal of Letby during and after the trial, noting similarities with her own experience in the media. She emphasized the importance of seeking the truth beyond surface perceptions and the dangers of rushing to judgment based on incomplete information.
