For the second year in a row, pop culture junkies of the region will come together for Death Becomes Us, the festival dedicated to all-things true crime hosted by local media company Brightest Young Things.

And this year, two familiar names—Amanda Knox and Lorena Bobbitt, now known as Lorena Gallo—will headline the event for a live recording of Knox’s podcast, The Truth About True Crime with Amanda Knox.

Knox, now 31, is known across the world as the American woman who spent almost four years in an Italian prison following her conviction for the murder of then-roommate Meredith Kercher in 2007.

The two were foreign exchange students in Perugia, Italy when the event took place, leading to years of hearings, trials and headlines on a global scale. Today, Knox is considered an activist and writer whose podcast centers on the justice system and those affected by it.
