  • This is my favorite podcast. If you like really good deep dives into cases, this podcast is for you. Stephanie is a great story teller and clearly puts effort into how she lays the cases out. Derrick's perspective and knowledge bring a different level of understanding to evidence, the way law enforcement handles cases, and the justice system.

  • Avid fan

    I have been a keen listener for years and love the deep dives. I heard on the most recent podcast Caleb Flynn that you were thinking of doing another case from the UK. I wanted to suggest a case. This case was not national news at the time and the only reason I initially heard about it was the godmother of the victims was a family friend. It was not covered nationally until it came out that police involved in the investigation had taken pictures with the victims bodies and sent it in group chats... more

    Thank you for your most recent take on Lindsay Clancy, honestly just trying to drown out the uneducated idiots who are bashing you for it who know absolutely nothing about PPP.

  • One of the best to do it

    My daughter got me hooked on this podcast. I love Derrick’s perspective and he always tries to remain neutral and see the other side. Stephanie does a great job of storytelling.

    Sometimes you can tell she gets annoyed. I don’t care as long as you don’t drag it out yk. I also love that they have criminal coffee. They really do seem to care about the victims and want to help.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Sonia Exelby | She Told Her Family About a Network of Sadistic Men… and Disappeared (Part 1)
Q: What does the suspect describe about the events leading up to Sonia's disappearance?
He provides a narrative involving NDA-driven secrecy, maintenance work on cars, an NDA-related separation, and selective truth-telling, which investigators challenge with inconsistent timelines and financial records.
S3 Ep341: The Case That Doesn’t Add Up | The Unanswered Death of Christian Griggs (Part 3)
Q: What do you think about this series of events that Pat laid out during the reenactment?
There are two sides to every story, and though Pat might have been justified in firing the initial shots, the continued firing raises the question of whether lethal force was necessary.
S3 Ep335: Cardi B’s Viral Court Testimony
Q: So here's my question from a law standpoint, because I've been watching the trial and I've been wondering...
It's not illegal to turn around and say, like, get the hell away from me, bitch. Like, it's not illegal to call people names.
S3 Ep336: Six Shots, Six Minutes | The Unanswered Death of Christian Griggs (Part 1)
Q: What was the situation like for Christian Griggs before the shooting?
Christian was in a complicated custody situation with his estranged wife, struggling to maintain his relationship with his daughter amidst ongoing familial tensions.
S3 Ep333: Baby Emmanuel’s Parents Charged With Murder
Q: What do you think about Rebecca's possible culpability?
If she cooperates and provides credible evidence against Jake, she might get a deal, but her involvement in the false kidnapping could complicate her case.
