  • Love it!

    I’ve listened to several true crime podcasts, and what makes this one unique is that the hosts are former news producers— this provides a really interesting lens as they go through the cases and discuss the role the media played in the investigations. There’s a great balance between telling the facts of the cases and their own commentary, and I’m excited to hear more!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

80. Remembering the Jeff Davis 8 with Ethan Brown
Q: And I was curious when you got involved. What got you on to this case?
Brown explains he began reporting around 2009 after the last victim; his work led to deeper investigations into the parish's law enforcement and corruption, eventually prompting longer-form pieces and books.
90. DNA Delivers in April Tinsley’s Murder Investigation with ISP Capt. Kevin Smith
Q: What is the significance of public-facing handwriting and notes in the investigation?
Handwriting analysis provided a link between the barn message and later notes, supporting the possibility that a single offender was responsible and guiding investigators toward DNA testing and suspect identification.
90. DNA Delivers in April Tinsley’s Murder Investigation with ISP Capt. Kevin Smith
Q: How did DNA and genealogy contribute to solving the case?
Preserved biological material allowed later DNA profiling; using forensic genealogy and databases like GEDmatch, investigators narrowed down suspects and confirmed leads, culminating in the arrest and confession of John Miller.
90. DNA Delivers in April Tinsley’s Murder Investigation with ISP Capt. Kevin Smith
Q: What initially made the April Tinsley case so high-profile in the community and media?
The combination of a young victim, the abduction and murder context, and the extended timeline with ongoing investigations kept the case in the public eye, influencing both community fear and media coverage for years.
70. The Unsolved Murder of Emily Pike with Robert Anglen and Lauren De Young
Q: Do you feel like there is a heightened presence around it, being a 14-year-old, and the nature of her death and all of that?
Yes, there seems to be a commitment from seasoned detectives and a task force created to investigate the case thoroughly.
