  • UPDATE

    This is the best podcast I have listened to in such a long time. Bring on season 3!!! (Written 1 year ago)

    Season 3 was a major disappointment! Worst season by far. Very repetitive. We get it, he had an alibi. The weekly schedule to wait for a 35 minute episode was also disappointing. Could have probably been two episodes. No resolution whatsoever. Didn’t even realize I listened to the last episode. I also missed the voice actor reenactments.

  • Excellent work!

    I’m listening to season 3 and am very impressed with amount of detail and the clarity in the flow of the narrative. There are no sections that are “slow” or superfluous. The research and production are top notch. Kathy from threadpullersresearch does excellent work!

  • Is the narration in AI?

    could not listen past a few minutes since the narration appears to be an AI voice.

  • Really well done informative podcast. Lesson: do not go with cops willingly and if you are mirandized, stay silent. Ask for an attorney.

Bonus Episode 4 with Jason Usry from Santa Maybe A Criminal

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.
