Thursday 6 October 2022 01:22 PM Surviving victims of Kim Kardashian's podcast murder say she never called them trends now
A brother and sister who survived the 1994 triple murder that is now the subject of Kim Kardashian's true crime podcast on Spotify tell DailyMail.com the star never bothered to contact them to check the facts of the case - and insist the man she is trying to free is in fact guilty.
Kevin Keith, 58, was convicted of murdering his ex-girlfriend, Marichell Chatman, her four-year-old daughter Marchae, and Marichell's aunt, Linda Chatman, at their home in Bucyrus, Ohio, in 1994.
He has been in prison for 28 years but insists he is innocent. Kim Kardashian believes him and has used his story as the launchpad for her Spotify podcast, The System.
But two people who survived the shooting and witnessed it say he is guilty.
They are Quanita and Quentin Reeves, Marichell's cousins who were six and four at the time.
Now in their early 30s, the siblings tell DailyMail.com they were stunned when the podcast emerged on October 3 without their contribution. They claim they were never invited on as guests, and that they've never even heard from crusading Kardashian.
'She did not contact us, not one time. If Kim Kardashian wants to get involved, she should come and meet us face-to-face,' Quentin, who is now a father-of-two, said.
The siblings - who were both shot in the stomach by the murderer - remain adamant that Keith is the killer. They say they knew him because he was friends with their father, and that they remember seeing him point the gun at their relatives.
'We saw it with our own eyes. You don't forget something like that. I don’t care what Kim Kardashian says – Kevin did it,' Quentin added.
Quentin and Quanita Reeves, now 33 and 35, say no one from Kim Kardashian's team contacted them about the podcast. They were aged four and six when they survived the shooting, but their stories have not been included in Kardashian's new podcast about the killings

'Too many people know about it.
'But she doesn’t want to hear from us.
'She wants to get him out to make her look better… that's the truth. '
Quanita said: 'We should have been the first call.'
She said the first time she heard from the team was on Monday October 3rd, the day the podcast went live, and that it was a heads-up from producer Lori Rothschild Ansaldi.
'Kevin gets to sit in jail and become a celebrity.
'Meanwhile we're out here dealing with this our entire lives... it's crazy.'
Neither Kardashian nor Ansaldi responded to requests for comment.
Sources close to the podcast say the Reeves siblings' claims are not true, and that they were contacted.
Quentin was four when the shooting happened but he says his memory of it is clear.
'It’s been a long time but I can still remember what the place looked like.
'I don’t care what Kim Kardashian says – he did it, and he’s not getting out. His appeals were turned down for a reason'
