  • They don't tell complete stories of cases anymore. They only interview people promoting a new book or movie about cases

  • Maxim Furek you are fake…yikes!

    Your regurgitation of every bad book and movie on the demonic is a joke. OMG you dislike the Warrens yet everything out of your mouth is verbatim from all of their work. There IS NOT an exorcist at every parish. Any priest can come by and bless your home. That is vastly different than calling in an exorcist. One cannot just splash themselves with holy water and a crucifix and be protected. I get tired of “experts” who make mockery of my Catholic faith.

    I’m a paid subscriber to Crawlspace/Missing but continue to get endless ads. Have tried every conceivable way to communicate this but ads keep coming and are completely ruining content. Please please sort this out.

  • Frustrated

    I used to enjoy this show and I still do enjoy the new episodes but they very frequently post old episodes on both missing and crawlspace and don’t usually inform you if the episode is old so I find myself halfway through an episode realizing I already listened to this episode months ago. I get very annoyed that I wasted my time. I might stop listening to both shows because I don’t want to waste my time and feel a little like I’m being tricked into listening to an episode more than once maybe fo... more

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

665 // The Trial of Karmelo Anthony w/ Cody Thomas
Q: What was Cody Thomas's role in covering the trial?
He described himself as a CourtTV anchor and explained the dynamics of reporting from the courtroom, including the challenges of condensing hours of testimony into brief segments.
664 // The Suicide Salesman Hunter w/ Daemon Fairless
Q: What does this case reveal about online marketplaces and regulation?

664 // The Suicide Salesman Hunter w/ Daemon Fairless
Q: How do you handle the ethical complexities of discussing suicide?
The hosts and Fairless emphasize direct, factual discussion without sensationalism, including warning messages and interviews with people affected by these issues to provide context and prevention perspectives.
664 // The Suicide Salesman Hunter w/ Daemon Fairless
Q: What drew you to tell the Kenneth Law story in this format?
Fairless explains that the story fits the Hunting series because it sits at the intersection of technology, psychology, and real-world harm, requiring careful, empathetic reporting to uncover motivations while acknowledging the broader societal implications.
666 // The Life & Tail of Anton LaVey w/ Doug Brod
Q: How did LaVey craft his public image and branding, and what role did celebrity associations play?
LaVey was very skilled at branding and used publicity, theatrical rituals, and celebrity connections to generate intrigue and ongoing interest, even if many 'claims' were exaggerated or contested.
