  • More than true crime

    This is more than just a true crime podcast. Anna Christie is sharing her ongoing investigation of crimes against children that have not been investigated or prosecuted for decades.

  • Truly the best true crime podcast!

    This is one of the best true crime podcasts out there! It is very thorough and well researched! The focus on justice for the victims is something you don’t always get in many true crime podcasts, kudos to Anna and Thanh in their search for justice.

  • Heartbreaking & jaw dropping

    Anna’s meticulous attention to detail and passionate dedication to this horrific legacy of abuse is awe-inspiring and so admirable. She has devoted so much to uncovering the truth and I pray the people in power will finally take action even though there can be no real justice for the children whose lives were destroyed.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S2 Episode 38 Don't Swing Twice
Q: What is the significance of Burkhardt's community connections?
Burkhardt used his connections, especially within the Boy Scouts, to gain access to children, highlighting systemic failures in protecting vulnerable individuals.
S2 Episode 38 Don't Swing Twice
Q: How have these cases produced zero suspects?
The more victims I find, the harder it is to believe that there are no suspects in these cases.
Episode 9, Baton Rouge
Q: What prompted you folks to decide to exhume the body and do DNA tests?
That’s something that did not exist at the time, and as time progresses, there are more... forensic data banks of dental records that we can use.
Episode 9, Baton Rouge
Q: Tell me why you think this is the work of a possible serial killer?
Because two of them, the John Doe and the other one that was found in Louisiana, one was found in Mississippi, were tied up in exactly the same manner.
Episode 10, The FACES Lab
Q: How confident are you that you can identify this kid?
I like to think we can, now that we have dental x-rays. We're certainly more confident than we were.
