For years, some law enforcement agencies have replaced the faces of traditional playing card decks with images of missing and murdered people and distributed those cards in prisons hoping inmates would come forward with information needed to crack these cold cases wide open. Now, audiochuck is dealing you in. Each week, we will be working with investigators and family members to bring you the deta... more

  • Background noise

    Love your podcasts but I’m going to have to stop listening to them due to the annoying sounds. The ticking, rapping, hammering, pounding is so annoying and frustrating that I can’t concentrate on what is being said. Please please please stop with the background noise

  • Audio Skipping Issue

    There is an issue with this show, as well as Crime Junkie, where audio is skipping abruptly, either rewinding or fast-forwarding despite continuous playback on the timestamps. It’s happening so severely throughout the April 15th Wells episode that I can barely get through it coherently! It must be an editing issue, and I will have to stop listening to both shows if it continues.

  • LOVVVEEE IIITTTT

    So i started rewatching it and every episode i look up to see whether or not the case has been solved. I love how it’s all formatted! I normally hate listening to murder podcasts that go unsolved at the end, but I can always listen to this one. It’s the only one that I can listen to like this. I feel like it’s just a lot of facts and then it gives you a chance to like tell if you know anything at the end and I don’t know why, but I just kind of love it.
