WOMAN, 34, ARRESTED AFTER SECRETLY RECORDING HER MOTHER-IN-LAW'S VOICE MEMOS AND TURNING THEM INTO A PODCAST THAT REACHED #4 IN THE FAMILY & RELATIONSHIPS CATEGORY BEFORE BEING IDENTIFIED DENVER, CO — Authorities arrested Daniela Sofia Reyes, 34, on Wednesday morning after she allegedly spent 14 months secretly recording her mother-in-law's voice memos, ranting phone calls, and dinner table speeches, then turned them into an anonymous podcast called "Just Between Us" that reached #4 in the Family & Relationships category. Witnesses say Reyes, wearing a black tank top and a thin gold chain, calmly told officers she had "edited every episode herself on a MacBook from 2019." According to the police report: - Reyes allegedly hid a voice-activated recorder inside a faux candle she had personally gifted her mother-in-law, Karen Whitford, 64, for Christmas in 2022 - The podcast reportedly had 47 episodes including fan favorites "The Wedding No One Talks About," "That Vacation Disaster," and "When Boundaries Blur" - A listener, identified only as Megan from the Facebook fan group, told reporters she "had no idea it was real, I thought it was scripted, Karen is a CHARACTER" - Reyes allegedly earned $11,400 in ad revenue from sponsors including a mattress company, a tea brand, and a journaling app - Officers recovered the candle, the MacBook, a notebook titled "EPISODE IDEAS, SHE WILL NEVER KNOW," and a screenshot of Karen leaving a five-star review saying "this hostess sounds exactly like someone I know" Sergeant Hal Kettering, a 26-year veteran of the Denver Police Department, addressed reporters at the scene. "In twenty-six years I have handled wiretapping, hidden cameras, and one nanny cam stuffed in a teddy bear. This is the first time I have charged someone for monetizing a mother-in-law. I am going home." She didn't argue back or vent to her friends. She just hit record, edited overnight, and let Karen narrate her own downfall to 200,000 listeners.
