In this deeply moving episode of
True Crime & Hollywood: A Personal Tale, Celene Beth sits down with speaker, advocate, and survivor Kasia Janus for an expansive, human-centered conversation on grief, agency, and what it truly means to reclaim a family's history from the media lens.When Kasia was just four years old, her world was fundamentally shifted by one of America’s most high-profile unsolved tragedies—the 1982 Tylenol murders—which claimed the lives of her father, Adam Janus, her uncle, Stanley Janus, and her aunt, Theresa Janus. Celene Beth and Kasia explore the reality of navigating that profound loss as a young child, and how Kasia learned to set firm, intentional boundaries with press and production teams to safeguard her family's humanity over decades of public scrutiny.
Together, they discuss the troubling rise of true-crime entertainment and pop-culture novelties, addressing how the glorification of violent offenders impacts real families and what it means to live on the other side of that public spectacle. She also opens up about a powerful moment of connection: meeting Pulitzer Prize–winning photojournalist John H. White, the man who captured a deeply meaningful photograph of her at her father’s funeral that she still treasures today.
