  • Listen to the podcast

    The bonus guest episodes are really interesting and much appreciated . Many aspects of the case are discussed. It’s not one sided. The details of the case are well

    Laid out.

    This isn’t the first or only podcast I’ve listened to about and certain facts remain the same. Just b/c Kensu is an abusive unlikable person doesn’t mean he killed Macklem. If you’re going to put people in jail, put them in there for the crimes they actually committed.

  • Season 3 Conflict

    I’ve heard an interview of the host saying his goal is to get this guy released so it’s a slanted take on the story. This makes me question whether the other two seasons aren’t also biased.

  • Listen to the Murder sheet if you want the real story of this case

    No research and very biased. The Michigan Innocence Project looked at this case and didn’t take it on.

  • Trash

    This podcast is all propaganda in support of a murderer. No research done. Michigan is safer because this murderer is behind bars.

  • Season 2 is a disgusting, word vomit, disgrace. It's 100% not factual, and based totally on the word of the murder, with zero research, and no consideration. The creator victim blames women that incurred SA and it's abhorrent. The criminal that season 2 covers, has physically and sexually abused NUMEROUS women, including the victims fiance, but not a single word is said about that. This podcast should be illegal to air, that's how bad it is. I encourage all of you to do your own research on this... more

He talks about developing the next season of Santa Maybe A Criminal and inviting voices for new episodes, while reaffirming his interest in true crime editing and storytelling.
Bonus Episode 4 with Jason Usry from Santa Maybe A Criminal
Q: Jason, can you tell us a little bit about yourself and this satire podcast that you're very well known for?
Jason explains his eight-year background in podcasting, his work on Santa Maybe A Criminal, and how satire is used to explore true crime tropes while remaining aware of real-world consequences.
Bonus Episode 1 with Julia Cowley from The Consult
Q: What stands out about the suspect Temujin Kensou in relation to the case?
Temujin Kensou presents a complex profile with a history of manipulation and aliases; while he seems like a plausible suspect given various threads, the evidence often does not line up neatly, highlighting the risk of tunnel vision in investigations.
Bonus Episode 1 with Julia Cowley from The Consult
Q: How do you view eyewitness accounts in this case and in general?
Eyewitness accounts are highly fallible; descriptions vary widely and memory can be contaminated, especially when hypnosis is involved. They should be weighed carefully and corroborated with physical and forensic evidence rather than taking them at face value.
Bonus Episode 1 with Julia Cowley from The Consult
Q: Could you talk a bit about how your education and experience aided you in analyzing cases on your show?
My background in chemistry and my long tenure with the FBI and the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation gave me a foundation in how investigations unfold, how evidence is processed, and what proper procedure looks like, which helps me evaluate cases with caution and objectivity.
