  • Love it

    I found this podcast when I was looking for podcasts about the Springfield 3. I love the deep dive they take on each case and hearing Derrick’s take on the cases since I come from a family of LEO’s. I’ve been listening to all the episodes from the beginning and love it!

  • Vile Victim Blaming

    A truly abhorrent collection of commentary, steeped in misogyny.

  • Chandler Halderaon

    Do you think Chandler researched Peter Capuza so much to “frame” him? Maybe he thought when his parents’ remains were found law enforcement would write it off as Capuza?

  • Here since day one!

    I am finally getting around to writing a review for the best team in true crime. Stephanie does impeccable and thorough research, along with wonderful writing, and Derrick’s law enforcement/PI background brings great perspective and depth of knowledge. The two of them together have amazing chemistry, bouncing ideas off each other and giving listeners much to think about. My favorite channel by far!

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.
