Daphne Duret

My Background

I came to The Marshall Project after years of covering crime and courts. I was previously on USA Today's investigations team and was part of the group that produced an award-winning series on the plight of law enforcement whistleblowers. I was also a Knight-Wallace fellow. Before that, I worked at The Palm Beach Post, where I investigated law enforcement’s use of secret cell phone tracking, immersed myself in alleged street gangs, and exposed fraud claims involving a medical device that led to criminal charges. I have worked internationally, including in Haiti after the 2010 earthquake, and have reported for The Miami Herald and St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Outside of journalism, I am a board member of DIME, a nonprofit organization empowering teens in underserved areas. I am a classically trained flutist and oboist, and I speak three foreign languages: French, Kreyol, and Spanish.
