  • 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

  • Fake callers

    Apparently this show changed its format recently,..they now take “callers” to share their stories..fine,..but it’s obvious the callers are scripted..I say obviously, but perhaps some people could be fooled into thinking it’s real,..but if you listen with a critical ear, you quickly realize that the back and forth is too smooth and it just doesn’t fly..

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

653 // Stories of the Betrayed w/ Andrea Gunning
Q: What sparked Andrea Gunning to create Betrayal and begin adapting these stories for TV?
Andrea explains that personal experiences with infidelity and the resonance of survivors' grief inspired the project, and that the show grew from a genuine desire to tell the deeper human stories behind betrayals.
655 // The Killer and Frank Lloyd Wright w/ Casey Sherman
Q: How did you approach portraying the victims and the brutality of the murders while maintaining sensitivity?
I avoided graphic descriptions of the violence, focusing instead on the context, the impact on families, and the legacy of Taliesin while using primary sources to guide a respectful, informed retelling.
655 // The Killer and Frank Lloyd Wright w/ Casey Sherman
Q: Was the killer's method of suicide intentional in relation to what he was hearing, and did voices influence him?
Yes, there were descriptions of him hearing voices; the wife reported him sleeping with a hatchet on his chest and shouting at voices, suggesting a severe mental health disturbance that influenced his actions.
655 // The Killer and Frank Lloyd Wright w/ Casey Sherman
Q: What was known about schizophrenia in 1914, and how did that shape your understanding of the killer?
There was virtually no public knowledge or reporting about schizophrenia in that era; I had to infer motivations from the limited contemporary sources and then translate them through a modern, investigative journalist lens to understand possible triggers.
646 // Missing Rhianna Barreau
Q: Can you tell us a little bit about how you became aware of this story?
Claire Murphy explains her personal connection to the case through her upbringing in South Australia and her work with True Crime Conversations, which led her to cover Rhianna Barreau's disappearance and related Australian crime history.
