Amanda Knox says she was grilled by cops at Seattle airport: ‘What did you do to end up in prison?’
Amanda Knox was stopped by law enforcement at the airport, where officials seemed more curious about her past than her passport.
Knox says she was grilled by cops before boarding a flight from Seattle to Ireland to promote her new memoir about life after wrongful imprisonment.
The 37-year-old, who was cleared in 2015 by Italy’s highest court of the infamous murder of her British roommate Meredith Kercher, detailed the awkward interrogation in a .
“‘Why are you traveling?’ ‘What’s your book about?’ ‘How long were you in prison?’” she recalled being asked.
Then came the kicker: “‘What did you do to end up in prison?’” — to which Knox replied, “‘Actually, I didn’t do it.’”
One officer even remarked, “You probably don’t like police that much.” Her answer: “They make me uncomfortable.”
Knox, who now writes and hosts a podcast, said she told them her book is titled “Free: My Search for Meaning” — a memoir about reintegrating into society after spending four years in an Italian prison.
Her interrogation ended on a softer note in Dublin, where a customs officer simply said, “Good luck.”
While Knox did not specify where the interrogation occurred, the Post reached out to the only local airport — Seattle–Tacoma International — for a response.
Knox’s appearance on Ireland’s The Late Late Show touched on her unusual relationship with former prosecutor Giuliano Mignini — the man who once accused her of a sex-fueled murder. “He admitted he could have been wrong,” she told host Patrick Kielty.
In January, Italy’s top court re-convicted Knox of slander for wrongfully accusing her former boss, Patrick Lumumba, of murdering Kercher.
Some X users opined they were “surprised” Knox would ever leave the states again after her years of legal tumult.
“I’ve been back to Italy…” she told one user.
The Post did not immediately receive a response from Knox.
