EP 110: BLIND READ — "The Poet" by Corey Mead (Part II)

This Blind Read had us absolutely feral (in the best way). We thought we were dealing with a classic “mysterious tormentor” case and instead got hit with psych letters, birdhouse cameras, BTK-adjacent clues, and some of the wildest investigative whiplash we’ve had in a while. Every time we thought we knew who “The Poet” was, the story yanked the floor out from under us again.

We pick the case back up with Ruth Finley being harassed. It’s ramping up, and the threats feel way too close to home. The question stops being “Who’s doing this?” and turns into “How far can an obsession go?” We’re talking psycholinguists, surveillance vans, and a reveal that made both of our jaws literally drop mid-read. This one scratches the itch if you love cases that feel unsolvable.

It’s twisty, it’s unsettling, and it left us asking whether “the monster” was ever where anyone thought to look.

“That’s Genevieve. And that’s Kaitlyn.”
