Send us Fan MailOur candid behind the scenes conversation with Steven Meyers and Shawn Johnson. A bank robber who studies law enforcement like a science project. A retired FBI agent who spends years trying to predict the next move. Then, decades later, they finally compare notes. That’s the tension driving our conversation with Sean Johnson, the former FBI case agent who led the investigation, and Steven, the accomplice who later wrote The Treehouse and helped tell the story behind the Netflix documentary How to Rob a Bank. We talk about how this all starts long before the first robbery: Scott “Hollywood” Scurlock’s precision mindset, his shift from meth production to bank jobs, and the way he treats risk like a craft. Steven breaks down the reality of surveillance and countersurveillance, including the crew’s code for police, how lookouts are positioned, and why “normal” patrols matter less than the moment a car comes flying with urgency. Sean adds the law enforcement side: what investigators can prove, what they can only suspect, and how a multi-year spree leaves holes that haunt a case agent. The second half goes where true crime rarely gets to go: the proffer interviews and the psychology of bargaining. Steven explains how he decides when to tell the truth and when to minimize, while Sean explains how agents keep it professional and fact-driven while trying to close gaps, connect crimes, and secure a plea agreement. The treehouse itself becomes more than a location, it’s the hub where identity, secrecy, and myth all collide. If you want a deeper, more honest look at FBI bank robbery investigations, criminal tactics, and the human choices inside a real case, listen now.

Send us Fan MailA woman posted an ad to sell herself because she had no food at home and needed baby formula. That story sets the tone for a hard conversation with Detective Ricky Lynn about human trafficking as it exists in the real world: less Hollywood, more coercion built from vulnerability, addiction, homelessness, and fear.We unpack how victims can live inside exploitation without even naming it, why trafficking overlaps with domestic violence and long-term relationship control, and what Lynn has learned from working cases tied to drug dependency and survival sex. He shares what he sees in treatment programs and why the numbers are far bigger than most communities want to admit. We also talk about the personal cost of this work, including secondary trauma for investigators and how repeated exposure to child sexual abuse material can change the way a person experiences everyday life.The conversation goes wider into labor trafficking and debt bondage, including how organized networks move people across borders, impose “travel debts,” and use threats against family back home to enforce compliance. Lynn explains practical tools that can protect victims and witnesses in the United States, including continued presence, the T visa for human trafficking, and the role of victim advocates and immigration attorneys who can help even when someone is not ready to call police.We end by facing the demand side head-on, from sting operations to online grooming risks, and why prevention has to include smarter reporting pathways like the National Human Trafficking Hotline and trusted local organizations.

Send us Fan MailPeople picture trafficking as a stranger and a van, but the reality is usually quieter and harder to spot: a need gets filled, then used as a leash. We sit down with Detective Ricky Lynn to talk about human trafficking and sex trafficking in Kentucky, and why the most important evidence often starts with understanding vulnerability instead of judging behavior.We dig into how traffickers use addiction, withdrawal, and the promise of a bed or a hotel room to control adults and minors, and why that cycle can look like “choice” from the outside. Ricky explains the method he uses to prove cases by “writing the vulnerability backwards,” showing what a victim lacked and how the trafficker exploited it. We also talk about runaway teens, missing kids, and why the danger grows fast once basic needs like food, showers, and a safe place to sleep disappear.The conversation gets practical for law enforcement and for anyone supporting survivors: trauma-informed interviewing, why “I believe you” can open the door to truth, and how strong investigations can reduce the burden on victims in court. We cover Kentucky’s tougher human trafficking penalties, the victims fund, and the Tim Nolan case as an example of networks that recruit through access and enticement. We also confront modern grooming where it actually happens: porn culture, regular-web escort ads, Snapchat, OnlyFans money pathways, and even payment apps being used to normalize transactions with kids.If you care about real prevention, better reporting, and accountability that doesn’t retraumatize victims, this is a tough but necessary listen.

Send us Fan MailA “white van” isn’t the center of most human trafficking stories. Vulnerability is. We sit down with Detective Ricky Lynn for one of the darkest conversations we’ve produced, and we ask the question people avoid because it’s uncomfortable: how does exploitation actually work when the victim is hungry, homeless, scared, or trying to survive another night?We unpack a clear, real-world definition of human trafficking, including child sex trafficking and CSAM, and why “something of value” is often a meal, a ride, a hotel shower, dry clothes, drugs, or even a 50-cent bottle of water. Ricky walks us through how traffickers groom targets at malls and public spaces without force, by identifying the kid who has nowhere to go. We also talk about trauma-informed, victim-centered policing, why community contact matters more than activity metrics, and how so much harm lives in the unreported “dark figure of crime.”Then we move into the tougher layers: family-based trafficking, neglect that opens the door to predators, and the reality that systems like social services may be stretched past their limits. For adults, we break down the legal test of force, fraud, or coercion and how addiction and “dope sick” withdrawal can be used as control.If you care about real prevention, real warning signs, and real accountability, listen through to the end.

Send us Fan MailThe hardest episodes are usually the ones we most need to hear, and this conversation goes straight into the reality behind the phrase “human trafficking.” We sit down with Detective Ricky Lynn to talk about what he saw on Lexington, Kentucky’s 7th Street and why the old approach of arresting women for prostitution often made the harm worse: withdrawal in a cell, more debt, and more pressure to return to the street just to survive. Ricky walks us through his path from a tiny farm-town upbringing in upstate New York to big-city patrol in Lexington, where street prostitution, crack cocaine, and violence collided. We dig into how trust actually gets built with people the culture tells you to dismiss, and why those relationships can become crucial in violent crime and homicide investigations. He shares the behind-the-scenes evolution from “go get them” policing to a victim-centered, trauma-informed response that treats exploited people as human beings with names, histories, and a real chance to turn a corner. We also talk about the turning point: third shift officers realizing they were doing a disservice, then partnering with community advocates, including Southland Church and the organization Natalie’s Sisters, created after a woman named Natalie was killed. Outreach became practical and direct: showing up consistently, bringing food, offering rides to services, and using a uniformed presence for safety rather than intimidation. The result is a clearer, more grounded view of sex trafficking, coercion, and what help can look like when law enforcement and community support move in the same direction. If you value honest conversations about human trafficking, victim services, and real-world policing, subscribe, share this episode with a friend, and leave a five-star written review so more people can find it.David's book, True Crime and Consequences is FINALLY available!This book explores the intricate and often controversial relationship between the true crime community and law enforcement.

Send us Fan MailJustice is easy to talk about until you have to define what it looks like outside a courtroom. David sits down with author Daniel Mark Grace to wrestle with the questions true crime always circles: what do we mean when we call something evil, who carries the burden of judgment, and how does a society decide it has the right to take a human life?We dig into the uncomfortable overlap of law and religion, especially in capital punishment cases where moral belief, legal precedent, and human emotion all show up in the same room. We talk about why criminal defense attorneys matter even when the crime is monstrous, and why “fair process” is a heavy promise for jurors, investigators, and families. Along the way, we challenge the urge to flatten violent crimes into simple narratives, because context is often the part that hurts to look at.Grace also walks us through the ideas behind his novel In the Wake of Golgotha, a story that reimagines Pontius Pilate and Judas Iscariot in modern-day New York City. From Golgotha to Central Park, the book uses guilt, ambition, weakness, addiction, and a personified darkness to ask whether people are driven by fate or choice and whether anyone gets a second chance after an unforgivable act.If you care about true crime storytelling, the death penalty debate, and the deeper psychology of good and evil, this conversation is for you.

Send us Fan MailA crucifixion is a historical event, a religious symbol, and also a legal sentence carried out by real people. That’s the doorway we walk through with author Daniel Grace, a Chianti Classico winemaker who wrote a dark, modern literary thriller rooted in an ancient act of capital punishment.We talk about his debut novel, In The Wake Of Golgotha, and why he chose to reimagine Judas Iscariot and Pontius Pilate not as flat villains, but as human beings trapped in the aftermath of judgment. Daniel shares the research that surprised him most: how little we truly know about these figures, how “convenient narratives” harden into cultural memory, and why the question of who is responsible still haunts modern true crime conversations.From there, we draw sharp parallels between ancient Jerusalem and present-day New York City, between crucifixion and the death penalty, and between courtroom procedure and the spiritual rituals that surround an execution. We also explore the uncomfortable “middle hands” of justice, the people tasked with carrying out a sentence, and how juries weigh guilt when addiction, trauma, and desperation are part of the story. If you’re interested in capital crime cases, jury psychology, crime and punishment, redemption, and the overlap between faith and violence, this bonus conversation goes straight to the hard questions.Subscribe to Murder Police Podcast, share this episode with a friend who loves thoughtful true crime, and leave us a review with your take: can any sentence ever truly fit the worst crimes?Order your copy of In The Wake of Golgotha today!https://www.amazon.com/Wake-Golgotha-Daniel-Grace/dp/B0FY3WCZWR/David's book, True Crime and Consequences is FINALLY available!This book explores the intricate and often controversial relationship between the true crime community and law enforcement.

Send us Fan MailA capital case turns on a quiet skill most courtroom dramas skip: building the right jury. We walk you through how careful voir dire, local insight, and patient strategy led to a strong panel—and why, eight days into testimony, the defense abruptly pled guilty and waived appeals. From there, the story jumps years ahead to a tense parole window, where two hours of focused testimony convinced the Kentucky Parole Board to impose life. What emerges is a real look at how justice isn’t a single moment but a chain of disciplined choices.We also open the hood on defense tactics and the math of reasonable doubt, the penalty-phase mindset, and why judges’ tendencies can shape a case’s path. Sonny shares how the investigation—and a promise to a victim’s mother—reshaped his policing: trust trained intuition, chase the small lead before it dies, and never let pride outrun the work. You’ll hear about a partial, lawyer-shaped statement that skirts ownership, prior serious offenses that foreshadowed tragedy, and the haunting possibility of uncounted victims along trucking corridors where mobility creates opportunity and witnesses are scarce.The conversation doesn’t stop at the criminal courtroom. We examine the civil suit that tested a carrier’s hiring practices and the realistic limits of employer liability, even as detectives weave weigh-station data, phone records, and witness timelines into proof. A striking moment—spotting a blue 1978 Ford F-250 after the parole hearing—feels like a closing loop, a nod to attention paid and a promise kept. If you care about true crime that respects victims, values craft over theatrics, and honors the grind behind big decisions, this story will stay with you.If this episode resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review.

Send us Fan MailA prayer on the interstate. A family in a hotel room. An angel-shaped earring that turns a hunch into a roadmap. We take you inside a rare blend of raw humanity and rigorous police work as a young investigator faces the most difficult duty in the job—breaking unimaginable news—then steps into the fire to build a case that can stand up in court.From a guarded stretch of highway to a lab bench in Quantico, we trace how small details grow into powerful evidence. You’ll hear how a yellow-insulated wire with a blue connector, found near a guardrail, links back to a suspect’s truck through meticulous tool‑mark comparison. We unpack early medical insights pointing to rape and a fatal neck disarticulation, and we navigate the mid‑90s landscape of evolving DNA science: blood in a recovered mattress matching the victim, seminal fluid matching the suspect, and the careful chain of custody that kept it all intact. The angel earring—one at the scene, one in the truck—undergoes metallurgical testing to confirm a high‑probability pair, adding another beam to a structure of proof.The investigation widens with the FBI and Kentucky State Police at the table, a late‑night warrant, and a suspect who goes from talkative to silent. Inside the courthouse, elite defense counsel challenges every inch—preservation motions, discovery dumps, and attacks on forensic reliability—while the prosecution assembles a clear, consistent story for a thoughtful jury. Through it all, we keep focus where it belongs: honoring the victim, supporting the family, and showing the unglamorous, exacting craft that turns compassion and evidence into justice.Subscribe, share with a true crime friend, and leave a quick review to help others find the show.

Send us Fan MailA lone truck on a crowded interstate. A quick mental calculation that says, stop this one. That’s where our story turns: a roadside decision that opens a far bigger truth about the disappearance of Myra Stoboski and the precision required to find it. We walk through the stop, the small talk that doesn’t add up, and the careful strategy behind securing consent for a full search. Inside the sleeper berth, the details speak louder than any denial: long blonde hairs with apparent skin matter, a bare stained mattress flipped to hide its story, and the soft drop of a bent angel earring. Those finds point in one direction, but discipline matters. We explain why probable cause isn’t enough, why triability drives decisions. From there, the work shifts to timelines and corroboration. Subpoenaed phone records and weigh station logs lock movements to minutes, undermining the suspect’s Walmart claim and placing Myra’s final call at a truck stop six miles north. With a likely interstate crime scene, we bring in the FBI, whose resources and experience accelerate the search. An air-to-ground sweep follows the data, scanning I-71 with purpose until a helicopter call changes everything at mile marker 29.5. On the embankment, the visual facts connect back to that tiny earring and a trail of contradictions, turning a gut feeling into a case that can stand in court. Along the way, we talk about what most true crime shows gloss over: how to protect a search from suppression, why suspects are kept present, and how body language in silence can be its own interview. We share the emotional weight carried by families and investigators who have to wait one more day for the truth to hold. It’s a story about patience, evidence, and the power of small clues to cut through big lies.If this episode resonated, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a written review.

Send us Fan MailA father’s worry, a 14.7-second call, and a grainy tape from a SuperAmerica lot set a true crime story in motion. We walk you through the final hours of 18-year-old reserve officer Myra Stalbosky—her truck trouble on I-65, a rest area encounter with a trucker, and a pickup left at Exit 22 with no sign of its driver. Then comes the sound that changes everything: a jake brake on I-71, a passing rig that looks just like the one on tape, and a radio call that turns instinct into a traffic stop. We invited Sonny Boggs to unpack not only what happened, but how he knew where to look. His path from teenage firefighter to EMT to military police laid the groundwork for a quiet kind of readiness—calm, curiosity, and the habit of asking one more question. That background explains the decisive moves in this case: recognizing value in poor video, calling the chief early, looping in media, and seizing a fleeting chance on the interstate. When the driver is stopped, his answers—forgetfulness about yesterday, an admission to falsifying a logbook—become behavioral evidence that sharp listeners will hear for what it is: a story caving in. This episode is a study in how real investigations advance without cinematic shortcuts. Small departments juggle robberies, missing persons, and scarce resources. Evidence is rarely clean; cameras are outdated, and witnesses are tired or scared. Yet people and choices still matter. A father shows grace. An officer trusts his training and his gut. A team moves fast, not reckless. If you’re drawn to cases where observation, timing, and human nature intersect, this is that story. Stay with us for part one of a case that honors the victim, respects the family, and shows how intuition aligns with hard evidence on the road to justice.

Send us Fan MailWant a straight answer on how homicide investigations actually work? We’re gathering at the Clark County Public Library in Winchester, Kentucky on Thursday February 5, 2026 at 6:00 PM, for an evening that swaps TV shortcuts for the real craft of solving serious crimes. I’ll share the nuts and bolts of building a case—from the first officer on scene to evidence processing, interview strategy, timelines, and the tight coordination with labs and prosecutors—so you can see why patience, documentation, and corroboration are the backbone of the work.We go deep on mythbusting. Expect clear talk about DNA limitations and backlogs, what a “match” really means, how interview bias creeps in and gets checked, and why airtight chain of custody beats dramatic reveals every time. I’ll walk through ethical decisions that rarely make headlines: notifying families, managing rumor storms, and balancing public transparency with the need to protect an investigation. Along the way, I’ll read short passages from my book, True Crime and Consequences, to ground the principles in real scenes and human stakes.Bring your questions. We’ll open the floor for a candid Q&A on cold cases, digital evidence, false confessions, and why some investigations stall while others move. You’ll also find discounted copies of the book and some free Murder Police Podcast swag as a thank-you to our local community and the library that makes events like this possible.

Send us Fan MailA father’s worst fear met a hard truth: remains found near a previously searched area were identified as Little Timmy Sterner. We invited Timmy’s dad, Tim, and stepmom, Ashley, to share what changed, what hasn’t, and how a family holds steady when communication from investigators goes quiet. The conversation moves from the moment the detective confirmed the ID to the agonizing weeks of no callbacks, and the practical fallout—memorial plans paused, questions multiplying, and a city’s attention drifting while a family can’t sleep. We unpack the scene details that matter for investigators: the proximity to a known house, the pet cemetery nearby, and the personal items still in his pockets, including a jail card and debit card. From there, we walk through the forensic realities of skeletal analysis—how labs assess bones for trauma, tool marks, and environmental effects to determine cause and manner of death. It’s slow work, but it’s essential, and it deserves clear, regular updates to the people who are living with the consequences. The heart of this episode is simple: respect the dead, and honor the living with information they can hold onto. Timmy and Ashley speak candidly about grief without closure, the need for accountability, and the question that haunts every parent: why. We also make a direct plea to the community. Someone knows what happened after Little Timmy walked out of custody and into that house. If you’ve heard anything, come forward—your voice may be the missing piece that moves this case toward arrest and conviction. After recording, we received one meaningful step forward: the Kentucky State Police released Timmy’s remains to the family so they can lay him to rest.

Send us Fan MailThe mics are live again and the purpose is sharper than ever. After months of moving chaos, a dismantled studio, and a nasty bout of cervical nerve pain, we return with a Season 12 recap, a clear-eyed plan for Season 13, and a commitment that guides every decision: we never rush families for the sake of content.We walk through the moments that mattered last season—Linda Price’s disappearance told with her mother and son, Detective Eddie Pearson’s plain-language guide to deception detection, a documentary-style revisit to Rhonda Day’s case that helped local media reengage, and the high-voltage “Three Things” debates on Karen Read and Susan Smith. Then we look forward. The most requested story is back with a major development: Whatever Happened To Little Timmy now has a meaningful update. If you didn’t catch the news months ago, you’ll hear it here—because Tim reached out when he was ready. That’s the standard. Consent first, always.We also preview new work: an interview with a former detective on a Kentucky case involving an 18-year-old killed by an over-the-road truck driver, plus out-of-state cases we’ve been quietly building. Along the way, we celebrate the community that kept us moving—book tours for True Crime and Consequences, radio panels, local bookstore events, a classroom Q&A, and even a joyful detour with Buffett Jeep Girl and a Radio Margaritaville feature that proves light can live alongside hard truths.If you’re passionate about a case and think we’re the right fit, reach out.

Send us Fan Mail3 Things: Susan SmithWhat drives a mother to murder her own children? The Susan Smith case continues to haunt us nearly three decades later, raising profound questions about evil, justice, and the darkest corners of human nature.When Susan Smith reported that her two young sons had been kidnapped by a male black carjacker in October 1994, the nation watched in horror as the young mother made tearful television appeals for their safe return. But something about her story didn't add up. No witnesses, inconsistent statements, and behavior that struck many as performative rather than genuine. Nine days into the investigation, the truth emerged—there was no carjacker. Susan had driven her car to John D. Long Lake with three-year-old Michael and 14-month-old Alexander strapped inside, then released the brake, letting the vehicle roll into the water while she escaped.The devastating reality behind Smith's actions came into focus as investigators uncovered her relationship with a wealthy man who had recently ended their affair, making it clear he didn't want children. Rather than allowing her husband David to raise the boys, Smith chose to eliminate what she perceived as obstacles to her happiness in the most horrific way imaginable. The method of murder—drowning—inflicted terror and suffering on her children in their final moments, leaving first responders and family members with trauma that persists to this day.This episode dives deep into Wendy and David's most striking aspects of this infamous case: the initial lie and its racial component, the heartless method of murder, and the ongoing questions about justice as Susan Smith faces regular parole hearings that force her victims' family to repeatedly relive their trauma. Should someone who deliberately murdered their children ever walk free? Join us as we examine the case that changed how America views maternal filicide and consider what true justice looks like for the most vulnerable victims.David's book, True Crime and Consequences is FINALLY available!This book explores the intricate and often controversial relationship between the true crime community and law enforcement.

Send us Fan MailThe aching void of a missing loved one tears at the fabric of a family like nothing else. Rhonda Faye Day—compassionate soul, devoted grandmother-caretaker, avid reader, and animal lover—vanished from Kentucky on July 28, 2018, leaving her family in a nightmare that continues to this day.We trace Rhonda's story through the eyes of those who knew her best. She was the woman who stopped to move turtles from busy roads, the one who painted rocks for children to discover in parks, who sat beside hospital beds caring for ailing relatives. Despite personal struggles with addiction, Rhonda maintained deep connections with her family, especially her grandmother with whom she shared a home.The details surrounding her disappearance raise disturbing questions. After borrowing just $5 for gas to visit a childhood friend in Louisville, Rhonda called her grandmother promising to return home. She never did. Her car appeared days later, abandoned near the Ohio River, just over a mile from where she was last reportedly seen. Police told the family to retrieve the vehicle themselves instead of processing it for evidence—a critical error that may have compromised valuable forensic information. Meanwhile, the person Rhonda visited never participated in searches or reached out to check on her whereabouts.What happened to Rhonda Day? Did she suffer an overdose that someone covered up? Did something more sinister occur? Or, as some suggest but her family firmly denies, did she choose to disappear? The absence of activity on her phone or financial accounts since that July day speaks volumes.Someone knows what happened to Rhonda, and her family deserves answers. If you have information—no matter how small—please contact the Louisville Metro Police Department at 502-574-7111.

Send us Fan MailThe suspicious death of John O'Keefe and the subsequent trials of Karen Reed have divided communities, sparked heated debates online, and left countless questions unanswered. Was this a tragic accident, or something far more sinister? Join Wendy and David as they each share "3 Things" that they take away from this case. We dive deep into three key elements that raise serious doubts about what really happened that fateful night. First, the mysterious series of "butt dials" to O'Keefe's phone suggests someone was desperately searching for his device during critical hours. Second, the disturbing injuries on O'Keefe's arm – wounds containing pig DNA that resembled animal bites rather than car damage – coincided with the Alberts rehoming their German Shepherd shortly after the incident. Third, the suspicious Google searches asking "how long to die in the cold". Beyond the evidence itself, this case highlights systemic issues that plague our justice system. The shocking misconduct by State Trooper Michael Proctor, who sent horrifically unprofessional text messages about Karen Reed, undermined the prosecution's credibility. Meanwhile, the exceptional work of Reed's defense team exploited these vulnerabilities to create reasonable doubt. The decision to elevate charges from reckless behavior to murder may have ultimately backfired, as the evidence struggled to support such serious allegations. The Karen Reed case may well become this generation's OJ Simpson trial – legally resolved but forever questioned in the court of public opinion. Did the perfect storm of police misconduct, skilled defense work, and media attention prevent the truth from emerging? Or did the system work exactly as designed by preventing conviction when reasonable doubt existed? What do you think happened that night?

Send us Fan MailDavid delves into the complex relationship between true crime enthusiasts and law enforcement, revealing how these two passionate communities can collaborate effectively to solve cases and support victims' families.The conversation explores the dangerous "landmines" amateur investigators must navigate - from constitutional issues to potential criminal charges. When true crime enthusiasts enter someone's property without permission or record conversations in two-party consent states, they risk not only compromising cases but facing legal jeopardy themselves. David shares wisdom gathered from decades in law enforcement, providing a crucial framework for ethical investigation.What makes this discussion particularly valuable is its dual perspective. While acknowledging the incredible resource true crime communities offer - primarily time and fresh viewpoints that overworked detectives desperately need - the conversation doesn't shy away from addressing problematic behaviors like vigilante "pedo catchers" who may actually make predators harder to catch. The podcast introduces a powerful concept: that silence from investigators doesn't mean inaction, but rather careful, methodical work happening behind the scenes.Most poignantly, David introduces the term "survivors" - the families and friends left behind after murders or disappearances - revealing how his book has already helped some navigate their frustration and grief by understanding investigation processes. This bridges the empathy gap between those who view cases as professional challenges and those who experience them as life-shattering events.Ready to become a more effective advocate for justice?

Send us Fan MailWhat happens when the lines blur between true crime fascination and real murder investigations? Former homicide detective David Lyons tackles this pressing question in his groundbreaking book, "True Crime and Consequences: Does the True Crime Community Help Murder Investigations or Hurt Them?"On this special "hostile takeover" episode of the Murder Police Podcast, communication expert Scott Harvey interviews David about the delicate relationship between amateur sleuths and professional investigators. The timing couldn't be more relevant—as the true crime genre explodes in popularity, questions about ethics and responsibility have never been more important.David reveals how his book serves as an essential primer for multiple audiences. For true crime enthusiasts, it provides the "playground rules" to engage with cases responsibly. For content creators, it offers guidance on avoiding pitfalls that could jeopardize active investigations. And perhaps most surprisingly, it challenges law enforcement to recognize the value that dedicated civilians can bring to cold cases.Drawing from decades of investigative experience, David shares compelling insights about the differences between "virtue justice" (public condemnation) and criminal justice (proper legal proceedings). He points to troubling examples where social media campaigns have derailed prosecutions and potentially re-victimized grieving families.The conversation highlights a powerful paradox: while investigators are bound by legal constraints, members of the public can sometimes access information and perspectives that might otherwise remain hidden. When these two worlds collaborate effectively—with proper boundaries and mutual respect—justice becomes more attainable.Whether you're a dedicated true crimer, a law enforcement professional, or simply someone who cares about how justice works in the modern media landscape, this episode offers invaluable perspective on a relationship that continues to evolve. The question isn't whether true crime communities will influence investigations—it's how we can ensure that influence leads to justice rather than undermines it.David's book, True Crime and Consequences is FINALLY available!This book explores the intricate and often controversial relationship between the true crime community and law enforcement.

Send us Fan MailUnlocking the secrets of deception through body language and strategic questioning—Eddie Pearson returns for the final installment of our riveting four-part series on reading what's not being said.Your body betrays your words. Despite our best efforts to control our non-verbal communication, our physiological responses—from subtle changes in breathing to unconscious movements—reveal what we're trying to hide. Pearson breaks down how investigators identify and interpret these invaluable clues during high-stakes interviews."The feet are the most honest part of the body," Pearson explains, demonstrating how toe direction indicates true intentions and comfort levels. He shares a compelling real-case example where a suspect's inadvertent response to a hypothetical question about cell phone recording immediately exposed his deception. Pearson reveals how "barring"—the tension in jaw muscles resembling an animal's defensive posture—once helped a corrections officer avoid assault by recognizing this primal warning sign.Beyond physical cues, Pearson dissects the art of strategic questioning. Learn why "what caused this to happen?" elicits more truthful responses than asking "why," how precise language prevents suspects from exploiting ambiguity, and why seemingly casual questions can crack even the most prepared liars. His insights on creating "windows" for confessions demonstrate how skilled investigators respond rather than react to shocking admissions.Whether you're fascinated by criminal psychology, communication dynamics, or the science of truth-seeking, Pearson's decades of expertise offer valuable lessons that extend far beyond interrogation rooms.

Send us Fan MailThe human body betrays what the mind tries to conceal. From ancient Chinese techniques using rice to detect lies to modern statement analysis methods, our conversation with Eddie Pearson reveals the fascinating science behind deception detection.When someone lies, their brain experiences increased cognitive load – the mental strain of fabricating details while suppressing truth. This triggers physiological responses impossible to control: dry mouth, changed blinking patterns, and subtle shifts in posture. These involuntary reactions have provided the foundation for lie detection throughout human history.Pearson shares powerful interrogation techniques that leverage these responses. The strategic use of silence forces suspects to fill uncomfortable voids, often revealing more than they intended. Language analysis provides equally compelling insights – shifts in verb tense during narratives, dropped personal pronouns, and words ending in "-ly" often signal deception. Even the choice between articles ("a" versus "the") can reveal someone's true familiarity with people or situations they claim not to know."The first person to speak after a question is the person who loses," Pearson notes, highlighting how patience becomes a powerful tool in uncovering truth. Through case examples, including a hit-and-run investigation where a single word ("directly") unlocked crucial information, we explore how these techniques have solved real crimes and revealed hidden truths.Whether you're fascinated by criminal psychology, communication science, or simply interested in understanding human behavior better, this episode offers rare insights into how our words and bodies reveal what we try to hide.

Send us Fan MailEddie Pearson pulls back the curtain on interrogation psychology, revealing that our feet—not our faces—often betray our true feelings. "The feet are the most honest part of the body," he explains, drawing from decades of experience reading subtle cues that most people miss. Far from the Hollywood portrayal of intimidating interrogators, Pearson describes a more nuanced approach focused on building rapport, managing cognitive load, and paying attention to clusters of non-verbal behaviors.The conversation takes surprising turns, exploring how something as simple as offering water creates a psychological obligation that suspects often feel compelled to reciprocate with honesty. "I always bring them a bottle of water," Pearson notes. "Now I've given you something. Now you need to give me something." Another investigator adds, "If we had a 24-hour Burger King next to headquarters, our confession rate would probably increase."Pearson shares practical techniques like watching for "anchor point movements"—when someone shifts multiple points of physical contact simultaneously in response to specific questions—and recognizing "smoke screening," where subjects overwhelm investigators with irrelevant but verifiable details. These tactics aren't just useful in criminal investigations; they apply to everyday situations from restaurant recommendations to business negotiations.What makes this discussion particularly valuable is its balanced perspective on truth-seeking. While confession techniques are explored in depth, Pearson emphasizes that success isn't measured by getting confessions but by uncovering truth—sometimes exonerating innocent people. "My job is to get as much information as I can," he explains, highlighting cases where polygraph examinations helped clear wrongly accused suspects.Whether you're fascinated by criminal psychology or simply want to better understand human communication, this episode offers rare insights into the subtle art of reading people beyond their words.

Send us Fan MailForget everything you've seen in crime dramas about slamming tables and bright lights. Former detective Eddie Pearson reveals the subtle science behind real interrogation techniques in this eye-opening conversation about body language and statement analysis.The forehead serves as the "billboard of body language," where trained investigators can read microexpressions that betray our inner thoughts. Pearson explains why watching for changes in someone's baseline behavior matters more than looking for specific "deception indicators." Context is everything—the same physical expression can represent either profound joy or devastating grief depending on the situation.Fascinatingly, Pearson reveals the cognitive load created by lying. The brain must perform six distinct mental operations to tell and maintain a lie, triggering a cascade of stress hormones that manifest physically. This explains why investigators watch for shifts in breathing patterns, hand gestures, and body posture that signal this internal struggle.Did you know women typically possess twice as many emotional receptors in their brains as men? This biological difference explains why women often excel at detecting emotional nuances and deception. Pearson shares how this gender distinction plays out in real-world interrogations and how both men and women can develop stronger observation skills.The most powerful moments in an interrogation often come when suspects adopt what Pearson calls the "ears over heart" posture—leaning forward with their body language signaling surrender. This physical shift frequently precedes confession, highlighting how our bodies often reveal truth before our words catch up.Want to sharpen your own ability to read nonverbal cues? Pearson offers a simple exercise: watch your favorite TV show with the sound off for 15 minutes, then check your accuracy. This practical technique helps develop the same observational skills that make effective investigators.David's book, True Crime and Consequences is FINALLY available!This book explores the intricate and often controversial relationship between the true crime community and law enforcement.

Send us Fan MailA decade of unanswered questions haunts the family of Linda Price, who vanished from a small Kentucky community leaving behind only whispers, theories, and a mother and son determined to bring her home.The truth seems tangled in the complex web of small-town silence. Linda's son Chase and her mother Mary Elizabeth share their most credible theory: Linda was staying with a man in McKinney when she and another woman allegedly took money. When consequences came calling, the other woman blamed Linda entirely—potentially sealing her fate. This narrative has consistently emerged from multiple sources, including prison informants and community whispers."It's a very tight community down there. You know everybody's got tight lips... If you're a snitch, you're going to go missing," Chase explains, describing the code of silence that has protected those with knowledge for ten years. The woman who allegedly falsely accused Linda still lives in the community, reportedly clean from drugs but "carrying a demon on her back," while the man Linda stayed with has seemingly vanished without trace.Their search has led to "the cut"—an old train tunnel in McKinney where sources suggest Linda's remains may have been discarded after being moved multiple times during decomposition. Despite numerous searches by both family and authorities, no conclusive evidence has emerged. A recent anonymous tip pointed toward Pulaski County Park Lake, offering yet another location to investigate.What's most striking is the family's perspective on justice. They've prepared a headstone with Linda's birth date but no death date, and a burial plot awaits her. "I'm not looking for revenge or retribution, just relief," says Chase. Their message to those with knowledge shows remarkable grace: "I respect why you're doing what you do, because of the world you live in, but don't make us be a part of that world and just give us what we want."If you have information about Linda Price's disappearance, please come forward—even anonymously.

Send us Fan MailThe haunting disappearance of Linda Price tears at the heart of a Kentucky family as whispered secrets circulate but answers remain elusive.Mary Elizabeth never imagined she would hear news about her missing daughter from inmates at the Lincoln County Jail where she worked. "Miss Mary, we have family out there. We can't talk to you about anything," they told her after making cryptic comments suggesting they knew what happened to Linda. This devastating experience eventually forced Mary to leave a job she loved because she couldn't bear working "beside these people that know what's happened to my daughter."Born in 1983 in Danville, Kentucky, Linda Price was a loving mother of two who enjoyed simple pleasures – skating at the local rink, playing with dolls as a child, and surrounding herself with her favorite color, blue. As the only girl among three brothers, she learned to be tough early in life. But toughness wasn't enough to shield her from the grip of addiction that eventually led to her cycling through local jails and distancing herself from loved ones.The last confirmed contact with Linda was a phone call with her father on June 8, 2015. Her son Chase, just 12 years old at the time, initially didn't grasp the severity of his mother's disappearance given her history of being "in and out of the picture." Years later, he's still searching for answers alongside his grandmother, who carries the weight of wondering if she could have done more. "I carry a lot of blame that I wasn't there for her," Mary Elizabeth shares, her grief still raw after nearly a decade.What really happened to Linda Price? Does someone in this close-knit community know the truth?

What began as a parents' nightmare on May 3, 2007, has evolved into one of the world's most enduring missing child cases, spawning international investigations, media frenzies, and countless theories.Our deep dive into the McCann case examines the critical elements that still perplex investigators and true crime enthusiasts alike. We explore the controversial decision by Kate and Gerry McCann to leave their three young children sleeping while they dined nearby, and the subsequent cadaver dog alerts that shifted suspicion toward the parents themselves. The investigation's early missteps—particularly the failure to properly secure the crime scene—mirror other famous cases where contaminated evidence hampered justice.The most compelling recent development centers on Christian Brückner, a convicted sex offender now considered the prime suspect by German authorities. The disturbing evidence found at his abandoned factory—including dozens of children's swimsuits and digital materials—paints a troubling picture of a predator potentially linked to Madeleine's disappearance. With Brückner's prison release looming in 2025, investigators race against time to build a prosecutable case.We also confront the media's powerful role in shaping public perception of the McCanns, raising questions about responsible reporting and the court of public opinion. Whether Madeleine's case involves a lone predator or potentially connects to larger child trafficking operations remains one of many unanswered questions in this heartbreaking mystery.Join our conversation about this landmark case and share your own theories.

Sandra Hasty and daughter Jennifer share the haunting story of Michael Gorley's disappearance from rural Kentucky—a case marked by strange encounters, spiritual guidance, and the frustrating knowledge that someone knows exactly what happened.The details paint a disturbing picture: Michael's hat and shoes mysteriously left on a porch, an official story claiming he walked away barefoot in swimming trunks, and the chilling moment when Jennifer shook hands with someone who "looked like they'd seen a ghost" at the mere mention of Michael's name. Through it all, a voice kept telling Jennifer to "turn around" during their search, each time revealing new, unsettling information.Ten years later, three people connected to the disappearance have died, taking potential secrets to their graves.

Send us Fan MailA mother's intuition and a sister's unexplainable spiritual experience drive the desperate search for Michael Keith Gorley after his Ford Explorer is discovered partially submerged in a pond on Wilderness Trail Road in Lincoln County, Kentucky.Sandra Hasty and Jennifer Gorley Coffey take us through the bewildering days following Michael's disappearance, revealing a web of suspicious circumstances that point to something far more sinister than a simple missing persons case. The timeline begins when two women with questionable backgrounds arrive at Sandra's home to report the truck in the pond—women who would later appear with freshly washed hair, makeup, and clean clothes during the search.The family's account systematically dismantles the narrative that Michael was behaving erratically or intoxicated. His grandmother and two uncles confirm he was perfectly lucid when seeking help to retrieve his vehicle. But the most compelling element emerges when Jennifer experiences something unprecedented—a loud, stern voice repeatedly commanding her to "find Michael," a directive that proves eerily prescient as contradictions in witness statements begin to surface.Every turn in this investigation raises more questions: Why would the person who claimed Michael was at their home at 11 PM later insist he'd left walking between 8-9 PM? Why did the women nervously prevent Jennifer from approaching a shed and field area behind the property? Why did an acquaintance attempt to flee upon recognizing Jennifer? From a mysterious blood-like substance on the vehicle registration to inexplicable gaps in the police investigation, this episode exposes the frustrating reality many families face when seeking answers about missing loved ones.

Send us Fan MailThe unsolved disappearance of Michael Keith Gorley haunts the backroads of rural Kentucky like a ghost story without an ending. Ten birthdays, ten Christmas mornings, ten Mother's Days have passed while his family waits for answers that never come.Sandra Hasty remembers the last morning she saw her son - May 17, 2015. Michael had slept in her bed that night (she took his), a simple moment of connection that would become a treasured final memory. Just five days earlier, he'd been released from jail after the grand jury refused to indict him on charges stemming from being in a car where others possessed drugs.The mystery began that afternoon when two women arrived at Sandra's door with a bizarre story: Michael had driven his truck into a pond on Wilderness Trail Road. The family found this immediately suspicious. Michael had been seen earlier that day at his grandmother's house, seeking help to remove the vehicle, but showing no signs of erratic behavior. Why would he deliberately drive his only vehicle into water?After retrieving the truck (which mysteriously smelled of gasoline in the back), the story took a darker turn. When Sandra called someone at a house on Highway 300 asking about Michael at 11 PM, she was told he was there. By morning, the story changed - Michael had supposedly left walking between 8-9 PM. Two weeks later, bloodhounds would track his scent along this route before losing it near Hatcher Road.Michael's sister Jennifer shares poignant memories of her brother - his love of football (number 55), his work installing flooring at the famous Versailles Castle, his passion for mudding and four-wheeling, and the devastating losses he'd endured in the years before his disappearance. Their father had died in 2004, followed by two more family deaths in quick succession.What happened on that May evening? What are people hiding? And why, after a decade, is there still no justice for a man who once wrote poetry, loved comedy movies, and would give the clothes off his back to someone in need?Have you seen Michael?

Send us Fan MailJoin Wendy and David for their 3 Things, this time, on Jeffrey Dahmer. The case of Jeffrey Dahmer continues to haunt our collective consciousness decades after his crimes came to light. What makes this story so deeply disturbing isn't just the shocking nature of his murders, but the stark contrast between the monster and the man who appeared so ordinary to those around him. We delve into Dahmer's troubled childhood, where early warning signs manifested through his fascination with dissecting dead animals and his increasingly isolated behavior. As a withdrawn teenager battling alcoholism, he committed his first murder at just 18 years old—the beginning of a horrific pattern that would claim 17 lives over thirteen years. The podcast explores Dahmer's consistent and calculated murder methodology: luring young men from marginalized communities to his apartment with promises of money or modeling opportunities, drugging them with sleeping pills, and strangling them. What followed—dismemberment, preservation of body parts, and even cannibalism—reveals a disturbing psychology that challenges our understanding of human depravity. We examine his peculiar claim that he "didn't want them to leave," questioning whether this was genuine or merely a fabricated justification for his unthinkable compulsions. Perhaps most heartbreaking are the missed opportunities to stop his killing spree, including a devastating incident where officers returned a drugged, naked 14-year-old victim to Dahmer despite a neighbor's protests. This failure of the system raises profound questions about biases that may have influenced critical decisions. When Dahmer was finally apprehended in 1991 after a victim escaped, investigators discovered a house of horrors containing photographs, human remains, and evidence so disturbing that some reportedly remains sealed to this day. The Jeffrey Dahmer case forces us to confront uncomfortable truths about human nature and the limitations of our ability to identify dangerous individuals by appearance alone. How do we reconcile his calm, articulate demeanor with the monstrous acts he committed? What does it say about our society that he operated undetected for so long? Listen now and join us as we explore these questions and more in our most disturbing episode yet. And, what are your three things about Jeffrey Dahmer?  Let us know on our social media platforms and YouTube.David's book, True Crime and Consequences is FINALLY available!This book explores the intricate and often controversial relationship between the true crime community and law enforcement.

It's how a lot of people actually die—they take speedballs," explains the James York from The 13th Floor Podcast, piecing together the timeline of this tragedy.What unfolds in the courtroom proves equally compelling. The Department of Public Advocacy mounted an extraordinary defense, scrutinizing every piece of evidence through rarely-seen chain of custody hearings. Despite overwhelming ballistic evidence connecting all three murders to the same .38 caliber revolver found with Ricky, the jury delivered a stunning split decision – guilty of killing two victims but not his stepfather.This case forces us to confront difficult questions about justice, extreme emotional disturbance as a legal defense, and the devastating ripple effects of violence. When Ricky later took his own life in prison, the tragedy claimed yet another victim, leaving his mother to grieve both her husband and son. His child would grow up without answers, and multiple families would be forever changed.The weight of serving on a capital murder jury, the psychology behind split verdicts, and the lasting trauma on investigators and families alike – this episode explores it all while honoring the victims whose lives were cut tragically short.

Send us Fan MailWhen detectives locate Ricky at a Louisville Red Roof Inn following a triple homicide in Lexington, they're stunned by his immediate confession: "I killed Aaron and Isaac and I'm proud I did it." But this chilling admission deliberately omits any mention of his stepfather Frank – the third victim discovered at a separate location.What follows is a masterclass in forensic investigation as experienced detectives meticulously dismantle Ricky's fabricated narrative. His version – that his friends killed his stepfather and he merely took revenge – quickly unravels against physical evidence. The crime scenes tell a different story: victims shot while sleeping, pockets turned inside-out, and ballistic evidence linking all three murders to the .38 revolver found in Ricky's possession.The discovery of Polaroid photographs showing Ricky, the victims, and two young women at a drug-fueled party the night before provides crucial context. These images, featuring cocaine and the murder weapon, help establish both timeline and motive. Meanwhile, Ricky's bizarre revelation that he watched investigators from nearby woods while calmly eating pizza offers a disturbing glimpse into his detached mindset.As forensic evidence mounts – shell casings hidden in kitchen drawers, ballistic matches between crime scenes, and a damning verbal slip during interrogation – the prosecution builds an airtight case against a killer who couldn't face admitting to his mother that he murdered her husband. This episode takes listeners deep into the investigative process, revealing how methodical detective work and forensic science uncovered the truth behind these senseless killings.David's book, True Crime and Consequences is FINALLY available!This book explores the intricate and often controversial relationship between the true crime community and law enforcement.

When Frank Reschke is found murdered in his recliner, detectives quickly realize they're missing two crucial elements - the victim's car and his stepson, Ricky Sherroan.What follows is a masterclass in homicide investigation as detectives balance gathering evidence from the initial crime scene while tracking down a suspect who seems to have vanished.

Send us Fan MailTwo handsome, wealthy young men from Beverly Hills. Parents murdered by shotgun blasts in their own mansion. A whirlwind of spending on luxury cars and Rolex watches. Sexual abuse allegations that split public opinion. The Menendez brothers case remains one of America's most captivating true crime stories more than three decades after the 1989 murders shocked the nation.We peel back the layers of this infamous case, exploring its most perplexing elements: Why would Lyle and Erik Menendez murder the parents who were already giving them everything they wanted? What role did allegations of sexual and emotional abuse play in their defense? And most controversially - if those abuse claims were true, should that mitigate their punishment?The case broke open when Erik confessed to his therapist, who secretly recorded their sessions. When that recording reached authorities through the therapist's mistress, it set in motion a legal saga that would include two trials, national media coverage, and sentences of life without parole. Yet even today, efforts continue to secure the brothers' release based on what defense attorneys claim is new evidence supporting their abuse allegations.Beyond the facts of the case, we explore the troubling phenomenon of public fascination with the brothers themselves. Their wealthy lifestyle and physical appearance seemed to create an immediate bias among many observers who couldn't reconcile their polished exterior with the brutality of their crime - a phenomenon that continues to affect how we perceive defendants in high-profile cases today.What are your thoughts on this complex case?

Send us Fan Mail"Justice delayed is justice denied" takes on profound meaning in the story of Mark Morris, whose grandparents Edwin and Bessie Morris were brutally murdered on Father's Day evening in 1985. What began as an act of kindness – letting a familiar face use their phone when he claimed to be out of gas – ended in a savage double homicide that has left a family waiting for closure for nearly four decades.Mark takes us through the painful journey of three separate trials spanning decades, each ending with death sentences for killers Roger Epperson and Benny Lee Hodge, yet never resulting in execution. We learn how a 68-year-old man who had survived multiple heart attacks and strokes attempted to defend himself and his wife, reaching for a gun atop the refrigerator before being overpowered. The haunting detail of his one-eyed wife in her nightgown pleading for their lives before being murdered creates an indelible image of vulnerable people betrayed by someone they knew.The conversation reveals the devastating ripple effects of violent crime across generations. Father's Day – once a celebration – became permanently tainted for the Morris family. Mark shares how even his son has never given him a Father's Day card because of the painful association. We witness the surreal experience of victims' families funding the continued care of their loved ones' killers through tax dollars, all while watching those killers mock them in courtrooms by blowing kisses and showing zero remorse.Despite these profound challenges, Mark reveals how his family has preserved his grandparents' legacy through their values of generosity and togetherness. He finds some comfort in knowing what happened – a luxury not afforded to families of missing persons – and in the belief that his grandparents are together in the afterlife, having never spent a night apart in life.This episode provides a raw, firsthand account of how our justice system can fail victims' families even when securing convictions. It forces us to consider what justice truly means when those sentenced to death outlive the family members who fought so hard to see that sentence carried out.David's book, True Crime and Consequences is FINALLY available!This book explores the intricate and often controversial relationship between the true crime community and law enforcement.

Send us Fan MailA horrifying betrayal lies at the heart of Edwin and Bessie Morris's murder. The elderly couple was brutally killed in their Kentucky home—not by strangers, but by the son of Edwin's best friend and his violent accomplices. The nightmare for the Morris family began with a confusing phone call delivering unimaginable news, but it would be months before they discovered who was responsible. Roger Dale Epperson—whose father was so close to Edwin that he served as honorary pallbearer at his funeral—along with Benny Lee Hodge and Donald Bartley had carefully planned the robbery and murders, part of a violent crime spree that devastated multiple families across Kentucky.We sit down with family members who take us through their forty-year journey through the justice system, revealing courtroom horrors few could imagine. From killers who taunted and blew kisses to family members during trial, to the shock of seeing Epperson's mother wearing the murdered grandmother's stolen wedding ring in court, this story exposes the extended trauma victims' families endure long after the crime.Perhaps most chilling is the insight into the minds of the remorseless. "They love it, they love it, they relive it," explains our guest, dispelling the myth that imprisoned killers spend their time regretting their actions. For truly evil perpetrators, their crimes become treasured memories they revisit with pleasure.The case also reveals how media can revictimize families, when Sherry Hamilton—one of the accomplices who helped purchase supplies for the murders—later appeared on shows like Oprah presenting herself as a victim rather than a willing participant in brutal killings.Four decades later, the pain hasn't diminished. "It's still as fresh sitting here now as it was that morning I got the phone call," shares one family member, reminding us why justice matters, why victims deserve to be remembered, and why some wounds never fully heal.David's book, True Crime and Consequences is FINALLY available!This book explores the intricate and often controversial relationship between the true crime community and law enforcement.

Send us Fan MailThe quiet town of Gray Hawk, Kentucky had one stoplight in the entire county. Nobody locked their doors. Everyone knew everyone. It was here that Edwin and Bessie Morris built their life, running the local grocery store, post office, and gas station. Their grandson Mark Morris remembers them as pillars of the community - hardworking people who helped neighbors who couldn't afford groceries and kept "cold cash" hidden in styrofoam cups in the freezer.When Mark's father made his routine morning check-in on his parents in June 1985, he discovered a scene of unimaginable horror. Both Edwin and Bessie had been bound, brutally beaten, and murdered in their own home. The first double homicide in Jackson County history shattered not just a family, but an entire way of life.What makes this story particularly heartbreaking is how the killers gained entry - by simply knocking and asking for help, claiming they'd run out of gas. The very kindness that defined Edwin and Bessie led to their deaths. Even more shocking was the eventual revelation that one of the perpetrators was the son of Edwin's best friend.For Mark's father, the trauma never faded. Until his death in 2002, he relived finding his parents' bodies every night in his dreams. Now, approaching the 40th anniversary of the murders with appeals still working through the system, the Morris family continues their fight for justice.Through Mark's powerful firsthand account, we examine how this brutal crime forever changed multiple generations of a family, the painful realities of a justice system that moves at a glacial pace, and the resilience of those determined to ensure Edwin and Bessie Morris are never forgotten.David's book, True Crime and Consequences is FINALLY available!This book explores the intricate and often controversial relationship between the true crime community and law enforcement.
