The author of the article linked above makes reference to an article he wrote for The New Yorker in 2010 called "The Hunted". I haven't read it because I've used up my free articles in that magazine for this month, but here is the link: www.newyorker.com/magazine/2010/04/05/the-hunted

You can also read the article on this topic which came out in Slate in 2019: slate.com/culture/2019/07/delia-owens-crawdads-murder-africa.html

This is certainly an interesting backstory.
