In 2016, a serial killer was preying on Black women and girls he thought no one would miss — and getting away with it. Police in New Jersey never suspected that Khalil Wheeler-Weaver, a nerdy-looking, polite young man from a law enforcement family, was the one stalking the streets and dating apps for his next target. The journalists behind “Father Wants Us Dead” — called one of the best true crime... more

  • Making these women RELEVANT! THANK YOU!

    I am a licensed psychotherapist with a strong sense of justice and a passion for uncovering the truth behind complex cases. I first learned about this particular case through a television show that featured Tiffany Taylor, the only surviving victim, whose story deeply resonated with me. I was profoundly upset by the way she was treated by law enforcement, whose incompetence and lack of care not only failed her but also contributed to the suffering of another victim. As I conducted further resear... more

  • Phenomenal Podcast

    The hosts and journalists do an incredible job telling the story of these four girls, and the woman who was brutally attacked. They painted such a clear picture of the inner workings of law enforcement and did a deep dive into the thinking of the girls who managed to catch the attacker. They also crept inside the mind of the killer, giving us a glimpse into how truly twisted this story is. I was on the edge of my seat for the entire season. They are relatable, empathetic, compassionate, and curi... more

  • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️True crime

    a true crime podcast that understands the responsibility that comes with telling these stories. It’s compelling and binge-worthy without ever feeling exploitative. The victims are regarded with real humanity and care. It  also offers a strident reminder of the inequality that exists at every level of our justice system but maintains hope for the future. Women are amazing, and women of color deserve so much better.
