Matthew Shaer, host and co-creator of hit true crime podcast Suspect, will serve as moderator and will be joined by Dr. Robert Henderson from the first Dr. Death season, attorney Anthony T. DiPietro from the podcast Exposed, who has represented more than 750 survivors of former ob-gyn Dr. Robert Hadden, and Dr. Death host and reporter Laura Beil.
