Tearful Amanda Knox cries and says she misses murdered Meredith Kercher’s voice

Amanda Knox tearfully admitted that she missed the sound of her roommates Meredith Kercher's voice whose murder she wrongly served four years in prison for.

The 32-year-old was speaking about Jennifer Levin on episode two of her podcast The Truth About True Crime with Amanda Knox when she broke down.

Levin was just 18 when she was strangled and left in New York's Central Park by Robert Chalmers, 19, back in 1986.

On the show Levin's friend asked her what she would say to her friend if she were alive today.

“To be able to talk it through and just sort of examine what went down and discuss her relationship with Robert,” Doyle said.

“What do you think went down with Robert? Why did he decide to turn to murder as a way to express himself? Did you see signs?

"I’d just love to ask her about it and talk it through. I would like to hear what she has to say. We don’t have her voice here. I would like to hear her voice.”

Knox responded: “I’ve often thought the same thing about Meredith.”

At that point in the recording Knox can be heard fighting back tears.

"I bet you have honey….Jesus," Doyle said.

Later on in the podcast Knox summarised her feelings towards Doyle.

She said: "To me, she brought to mind my own missing friend and roommate, and the desperation of wanting to hear her voice again.

"Not just because she knows the real truth, but because she deserves to be heard.

“There are always unanswered questions when someone’s life is cut short.

"Things only they would know with what really happened at the moment of their death.

"But unanswered questions are hard to bear.

"So over time, we tell ourselves larger stories that don’t fill in those crucial gaps as much as they try to make sense of the senseless.”

Knox was twice convicted and twice acquitted for the murder of 21-year-old Kercher, whom she lived with in the Italian town of Perugia.

Throughout the long running and high-profile case Knox has declared her innocence and has since returned to America.

In recent months Knox has made more regular public appearances in which she has spoken about the ordeal.

Earlier this month she met Lorena Bobbitt at a true crime festival.

The pair bonded at the event in Washington DC and Knox – known as Foxy Knoxy – said it was “an honour to have shared this stage with another longtime member of the shamed women club”.

Bobbitt, 49, cut husband John Wayne’s penis off while he slept in 1993, claiming he had raped her.

She was acquitted on temporary insanity and sent to a mental hospital – but discharged a month later.

She is also planning to pen an advice column in local news outlet Westside Seattle about 'life, love, suffering, and meaning.'

The column is set to run weekly print and online paper in Seattle owned by her new husband Christopher Robinson's family.

Rudy Guede was convicted of the sexual assault of murder of Kercher in 2008.

He is serving a 16 year sentenced.
