  • My True Crime Dream Come True!

    Wow! Where do I begin? Conrad Roy is the PERFECT host for this show. His voice, the intonation, the urgency…it sets the perfect tone. Even on cases that I’m not that into, he makes them interesting and worth listening to. When I saw that he covered William Desmond Taylor, The Tylenol Murders, Marie Hilley, and Bobby Fuller…I was so excited! While the Tylenol Murders is pretty well-known & has been covered by other podcasts…I’ve NEVER heard a podcast cover any of the other cases I mentioned. Defi... more

    It really amazes me that people actually believe her husband had nothing to do with her murder. So, he comes out as being bisexual, but we’re to believe he never made the comments that he needed to get out of that marriage? The man was watching porn sites during his honeymoon! Lastly, who would have paid the driver for services in which your wife was murdered?Most people would have believed they were setup to be robbed. Who would have paid for that? Oh yeah, a person that was in on it. That’s wh... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

UNSOLVED: Ken McElroy 2, Vigilante Justice with Tyler Allen (Minds of Madness)
Q: So yeah, when you first heard the story and like when you get to the part where Ken McElroy is killed, what were your sort of emotional reactions at, just like as a person hearing the story?
The guest describes a mix of anticipation and heavy reflection, acknowledging the buildup and the emotional weight of a town facing its own violent history, and how those feelings shift once the violence unfolds and the consequences become tangible.
SOLVED: Missy Avila 1
Q: What drives a person to kill?
Uncontrollable rage, overwhelming fear, unbearable jealousy, or something deeper in our psyche.
HOLIDAY SPECIAL: Thanksgiving Murders Pt. 2
Q: How do families react to sudden loss with no clear explanation?
Families often cycle through grief stages—denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance—while unresolved grief may lead to blame and conflict among family members.
HOLIDAY SPECIAL: Thanksgiving Murders Pt. 2
Q: What makes a killer?
Family dynamics and unresolved emotions can transform relationships into deadly confrontations during the holidays, while psychological instability can lead individuals to commit horrific acts.
UNSOLVED: The Murder of John O'Keefe 2 with Katie Ring
Q: What evidence do you think likely swayed jurors toward acquittal?
The lack of injuries on John's body and expert testimonies suggesting he was not hit by a car likely influenced the jury's decision to acquit Karen of the more serious charges.
