True Crime Obsessed

What really happened — and why does the official story never quite add up? True Crime Obsessed is the podcast that goes beyond the headlines to examine real criminal cases with the detail they actually deserve. Each week, host Jack breaks down real cases — from cold cases buried in court archives to high-profile investigations the media got wrong — using a research-first approach that separates fact from speculation. This isn't shock value. It's criminal investigation done seriously. Jack spent years studying forensic psychology and criminal behavior, and has interviewed detectives, defense attorneys, and survivors to build a framework for understanding how crimes happen, how investigations unfold, and where the system fails. He brings that background to every case so you walk away with context, not just chills. True Crime Obsessed is for listeners who are done with surface-level storytelling. If you've ever found yourself three hours deep into a tru

    The Retiree Who Caught the Valentine's Ghost

    A retiree discovered genealogy as a hobby and solved a Valentine's Day murder eleven years later from her computer. Art Sarin saw the killer escape in 2007, but classic forensic science never found him. In November 2018, a DNA test from a 2011 bank robbery identified the man who left his perfectly arranged sneakers by the door: David Mabrio, a normal neighbor from Carlsbad, already dead when he was found. In this episode, you will discover how genetic profiling and investigative genealogy revolutionized impossible cold cases. The killer of the "Valentine's Day Crime" lived in the same city where he killed, passed by his victim's parents on the night of the crime, and evaded all databases for a decade because he had no recorded criminal history. You will see how a forensic technique that did not exist in 2007 - and a family tree reconstructed by a grandmother from her home - solved what fifty swabbed suspects could not. Case Details Victim: Jodine Sarin, 29 years old, assistant director with intellectual disability Date: February 14, 2007 Location: Carlsbad, California, United States Status: Closed case; posthumously identified killer in November 2018 - Why did the complete DNA of the killer available since 2007 not produce a match in eleven years of searching? - How did a swab from an unrelated bank robbery in 2011 become the final piece of the puzzle? - What did David Mabrio do the week after he was swabbed in 2011 that completely changed his behavior? - Did Marissa Mabrio know who her ex-partner was when she first denied recognizing the sneakers? Who solves impossible crimes: detectives or the person who builds the correct family tree?

Did Jennifer choose to disappear or was she a victim of a network that still operates? In this episode, you will discover how a sabotaged file, an uninvestigated club, and a fake note in the police file concealed clues for two decades.

    The Nameless Ravine: Two Women, An Unknown Killer

    Fifty-five years ago, two young women were found stabbed in the ravines of Mulholland Drive, Los Angeles. One was cremated without a name. For decades, no one knew who Jane Doe 59 was. But the answer came through a book, a lost postcard, and a pair of cufflinks that changed everything. In this episode, you will discover how a retired detective solved a cold identity case after 46 years, why the cases of Reit Yervson and Marina Habe might be connected, and what critical evidence remains missing from the LAPD files. You will hear the forensic details that investigators could never piece together: over 150 stab wounds concentrated in the neck, patterns of double wounds, a black sedan that fled in the early morning, and two men without surnames that no one managed to identify.

Detective Rivera continues as a reserve officer. Marina's sexual assault kit missing. Identity of persons of interest unknown. - The identity of Jane Doe 59 took 46 years to confirm, but the crime remains unsolved despite paternal cufflinks, DNA, and published forensic sketches. - Marina was seen with a black sedan and two men on the night of her death, but her sexual assault kit went missing from the LAPD files and was never analyzed. - Both victims showed patterns of double wounds (two types of knives or multiple attackers), both were found less than 3 kilometers apart, but detectives concluded they were likely separate cases. - A detective discovered the connection between the two women by reading a paragraph in a true crime book 30 years after the original crime, raising the question: how much critical evidence is still hidden in unexamined files? How could a ring made of paternal cufflinks be the key to identifying a victim who was cremated without a name? And why did investigators never connect two such similar murders in the same area of the city? murder Mulholland Drive, unsolved cases Los Angeles, Jane Doe 59 identified, serial crime 60s, Reit Yervson Marina Habe, detective Shepard LAPD, lost forensic evidence, true crime Spanish podcast If you want to listen to this podcast ad-free and have access to premium episodes, we invite you to try our subscription with a 14-day free trial at obomedia.com. © 2026 OBOMEDIA.

How did a program designed to protect youth become the perfect tool to prey on them? In this episode, you will discover how a police mentoring system concealed decades of predators, how two officers competed for control over a vulnerable teenager, and why the victims were ignored while the perpetrators walked free.

    The Detective Who Warned of His Son's Death

    A homicide detective publicly warned that his son would die at the hands of a man already charged with beating him. No one believed him. Six days later, six-year-old Jojo King was found without oxygen in the house where his father said he would be killed. The question no one can answer: did he die trapped in a toy chest, or did someone drown him knowing the system would let him live? In this episode, you will discover how a detective father foresaw a death that the system allowed. We will go through every piece of evidence that contradicts the official version, every moment when Joseph King asked for help and was ignored, and the evidence suggesting that Jojo died in water, not in air. You will understand why an autopsy was amended, why the chest that killed him was not airtight, and how a judge convicted the stepfather for prior abuse but never for the death of a child that everyone saw coming. Case Details Victim: Jojo King III, 6 years old, son Date: February 23, 2020 Location: Grand Prairie, Texas, United States Status: Brandon McCallum convicted of probation violation in 2023; no charges for homicide; DA may file new charges - Jojo was found wet from the neck to the hips, but the official version claims he died in a dry chest - The supposedly airtight chest failed the light test: if light enters, enough air to breathe enters - A test with a mannequin revealed that Jojo barely fit inside the chest with Batman; Brandon's scenario is physically improbable - Jojo's bed had concentrated moisture in the torso area, the toilet was half full, and wet toys floated in the bathtub, none of these details appear in the stepfather's narrative Can a system that ignores an expert death detective really believe it was an accident when everything points to someone knowing exactly how to do it? unsolved child death, Jojo King III case, detective Joseph King, toy chest, homicide drowning, Grand Prairie Texas, unprevented child abuse, autopsy contradictions, ignored physical evidence, true crime Spanish podcast If you want to listen to this podcast ad-free and gain access to premium episodes, we invite you to try our subscription with a 14-day free trial at obomedia.com. © 2026 OBOMEDIA.

    The Teacher Who Confessed Without Knowing at Every Step

    EPISODE DESCRIPTION A Sunday school teacher with no history of drug violence, abuse, and a murderer of an 8-year-old neighbor girl, then confessed every step unknowingly. Sandra Cantú disappeared in Tracy, California on March 27, 2009. Her body was found in a suitcase thrown into an agricultural pond. The perpetrator was Melissa Hukaby, who provided false clues that pointed directly to her. In this episode, you will discover how Melissa incriminated herself in every clue she planted to divert the investigation. From the false report of "theft" of the suitcase hours before the discovery, to the note with identifiable handwriting that she delivered at the vigil with the exact location of the body. We will analyze the pattern of drugging others: a 7-year-old girl in January 2009 and her ex-boyfriend three weeks before the crime. We will examine why a woman diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, bipolarity, and schizophrenia managed to gain unsupervised access to minors for years. And we will unravel the question that even Melissa cannot answer: why did she do it? Case Details Victim: Sandra Cantú, 8 years old, resident of the Orchard Estates trailer park Date: March 27, 2009 Location: Tracy, California, United States Status: Melissa Hukaby sentenced to life in prison without parole since May 2010 - Melissa reported the theft of her own suitcase hours before it was found with the body in the pond - Surveillance video and witnesses placed her at the pond at 5:30 PM on the same day of the disappearance - The false note she delivered at the vigil contained identifiable handwriting and the exact location of the corpse - Melissa had drugged a 7-year-old girl in January 2009 and her ex-boyfriend on March 2, establishing a prior pattern Do you want to know how Melissa's lies caught her in six hours of interrogation? murder of Sandra Cantú, Tracy California case 2009, Melissa Hukaby murderer, crime with no apparent motive, suitcase agricultural pond, autopsy Sandra Cantú, drugging minors, Sunday school crime, borderline personality disorder killer, true crime Spanish podcast If you want to listen to this podcast ad-free and have access to premium episodes, we invite you to try our subscription with a 14-day free trial at obomedia.com. © 2026 OBOMEDIA.

    Two Calls in the Early Morning, an Absent State**

    Two calls in the early morning that the system heard but ignored. A woman shattered in a ravine, internal organs destroyed, making desperate attempts to be saved. And the aggressor: a man with a prior conviction for homicide, multiple active arrest warrants, calmly studying at a night school while stalking his classmates. How was it possible that Rosa Elvira Celi died when the State had every opportunity to stop him? In this episode, you will discover how each institutional failure was a broken link in the chain that could have saved her. From the first call to 123 that was ignored, through unexecuted arrest warrants, to the negligence that allowed a killer on the loose to attack a single mother who only dreamed of being a psychologist. This is not just a brutal crime: it is the exact map of how an absent State transforms a life into a symbol that changes laws. Case Details Victim: Rosa Elvira Celi, 35 years old, candy seller and night student Date: May 24, 2012 Location: Santa Bárbara, Antioquia, Colombia Status: Case closed with conviction for Javier Velasco (48 years in prison); ruling from August 2023 condemning the State for institutional negligence - The first emergency call was cut off and the police took over an hour to find her while she was bleeding out; records contradict whether it was at 1:30 AM or 4:50 AM - Javier Velasco had murdered another woman in 2002, was declared unaccountable, and spent only 6 months in a psychiatric facility; he had an active arrest warrant when he attacked Rosa - Rosa named her aggressor while being rescued, left direct DNA evidence on her body, but the health system transferred her to a distant hospital where she arrived after more than an hour with generalized peritonitis - The negligence of multiple institutions was proven in the 2023 ruling: the Prosecutor's Office did not execute arrest warrants, the Police did not seek them, Health was slow to act, and the first process against Javier in 2002 was riddled with irregularities Do you want to know the exact moment when the State could have saved her and chose not to? femicide Colombia, Rosa Elvira Celi case, institutional negligence, unexecuted arrest warrants, Law 1761, violence against women Colombia, failed justice, real aggravated homicide case, impunity penal system, unsolved crimes Colombia, systemic sexual abuse, true crime Spanish podcast If you want to listen to this podcast without ads and have access to premium episodes, we invite you to try our subscription with a 14-day free trial at obomedia.com. © 2026 OBOMEDIA.

    Five Ignored Alerts: How the System Allowed Star's Death

    Five calls to the protection system. Five times they alerted about a baby being hit. Five times no one acted. How did Star Hobson die in plain sight of the institutions that were supposed to protect her? In this episode, you will discover how a social services system ignored direct evidence of child abuse, how a submissive mother became trapped under the control of a violent couple, and why every opportunity for rescue was wasted. From the first alert in January 2020 to the fatal collapse in September, we reconstruct every institutional failure that allowed the impossible: that a 16-month-old girl died while experts evaluated her case. Case Details Victim: Star Alicia Hobson, 16 months old, daughter of Frankie Smith Date: September 22, 2020 (death); verdict December 14, 2021 Location: Yorkshire, United Kingdom Status: Sabana Brockill convicted of murder, life sentence with a minimum of 25 years; Frankie Smith convicted of causing or allowing the death of a child, 12-year sentence - The first referral came when Star was only eight months old after a slap reported by a friend; social services closed the case without investigating beyond Frankie’s denial with Sabana present. - Security camera recordings documented 21 blows from Sabana to Star on September 13, six days after social workers closed the investigation without taking action. - Sabana searched online for how to remove bruises since June 2020, months before the death, while after Star's collapse, the couple waited 15 minutes before calling emergency services. - Five extended family members made separate referrals documenting visible abuse, progressive injuries, and behavioral changes, all dismissed under the theory that the reports were motivated by family rivalry.

    Seven Shots: The Recording That Prevented Impunity

    A cell phone recording captured seven shots fired at an Atlanta rapper. His killer almost convinced the police it was self-defense. But the videos changed everything, and the sentence was 125 years without parole. In this episode, you will discover how a mother requested life imprisonment for her own daughter, why the wounds on the victim's back shattered the crime alibi, and how Geraldine Grant turned four videos into the only barrier between impunity and justice. We analyze the pattern of violence that began with a knife, the shots documented in real-time, and the deliberate self-harm that Siera used to fabricate her defense. Case Details Victim: Rahim Grant, 28 years old, music producer and rapper from Atlanta Date: December 29, 2017 Location: Apartment in Atlanta, Georgia, United States Status: Siera Harp sentenced to 125 years without parole since May 2019 - Rahim was shot seven times in the back and head while on the ground, contradicting the defense that Siera acted in self-defense against an attacker - The four videos on Rahim's cell phone show that Siera continued shooting while he begged for water and mentioned his daughter, with no signs of active threat - Siera appears without visible injuries in the videos, but later presents cuts when she arrives at a neighbor's house, suggesting self-harm to build an alibi - The knife that Rahim supposedly used was out of his reach on the ground, invalidating his ability to attack during the shooting How can someone shoot another person while incapacitated on the ground and almost convince investigators it was self-defense? homicide Atlanta, murder by gunshot recorded on video, toxic relationship crime, criminal justice Georgia, fatal violent relationship, cell phone recording evidence, case solved by video, mother testifies against daughter, sentence 125 years, true crime Spanish podcast If you want to listen to this podcast ad-free and have access to premium episodes, we invite you to try our subscription with a 14-day free trial at obomedia.com. © 2026 OBOMEDIA.

    Ten Cries for Help at the Police School

    In the early hours of September 11th, inside the police academy, a lieutenant strangles his lawyer wife. He leaves with the body in the trunk without inspection, works normally, and almost three months later serves drinks in a Colombian bar. How did a complete institution allow the one who won a high-profile case against the police to disappear?In this episode, you will discover how ten screams for help recorded on María Belén's cell phone reveal not only a gender crime but also a network of institutional complicity that protected the killer for weeks. You will learn about the contradictions that prosecutors have yet to resolve: a body that should have decomposed but did not, witnesses who saw a bundle being dragged but whose autopsy denies drag injuries, and a cadet who asks to delete evidence while claiming to have slept. You will understand why the debate remains open between murder and femicide, and how the lieutenant's escape exposes security failures that cost a life.Case DetailsVictim: María Belén Bernal Acosta, 34 years old, criminal lawyer and activistDate: September 11, 2022Location: Police Academy, Quito, EcuadorStatus: Lieutenant Germán Cáceres confessed, detained in La Roca; preliminary hearing pending; cadet Jocelyn Sánchez with alternative measures- Recording from Bernal's cell phone captures exactly ten screams for help until total silence; acoustic expertise not yet published- Body found ten days later with no apparent decomposition; hypothesis of late burial contradicts Cáceres's confession of acting alone that night- Absence of drag injuries in the autopsy contradicts the testimony of cadets who saw a bundle being dragged down the stairs- Cadet Jocelyn Sánchez detained for concealment; leaked audio places her with Cáceres on the morning of September 11th but she claims to have slept without hearing anythingHow did a confessed killer manage to leave a police academy with a corpse in the trunk without a single inspection, and why did the institution take almost three months to capture him in another country?femicide Ecuador, gender crime, police academy Quito, María Belén Bernal, institutional concealment, justice for women, high-profile case, police complicity, Ecuador 2022, female security, domestic violence, true crime Spanish podcastIf you want to listen to this podcast without ads and have access to premium episodes, we invite you to try our subscription with a 14-day free trial at obomedia.com.© 2026 OBOMEDIA.

    MASSACRED IN MANAGUA: JUSTICE OR STATE IMPUNITY?

    A Brazilian doctor is shot dead in Managua during the state repression of 2018, and the only convicted person is released in seven months under a law for political prisoners. Was it an accident or a covert execution? The file was cleaned, the witness disappeared, and impunity was sealed.In this episode, you will discover how a judicial system can classify a crime as a common offense and then apply political amnesty for the same accused, how a crime scene is erased before dawn, and why Brazil demanded explanations that Nicaragua never provided. Raineya Lima deserved justice. Instead, she obtained state impunity disguised as legal procedure.Case DetailsVictim: Raineya Lima, 31 years old, Brazilian medical studentDate: July 23, 2018Location: Managua, NicaraguaStatus: Convicted released under amnesty in July 2019; case closed with no new charges- The seized M4 carbine is for military use only; no authority explained how a supposed private guard legally possessed it- The trial lasted 30 minutes, was held behind closed doors on a holiday, with no independent press; the boyfriend disappeared after anonymous threats before he could testify publicly- The crime was classified as a common offense, but the amnesty applied was designed only for political crimes; the lawyer points out legal perversion- The crime scene was cleaned before dawn with no shell casings, police cordon, or forensic photographs; this makes reconstruction impossible and points to deliberate cover-upHow does a country justify releasing the only convicted person for an execution in seven months while silencing all witnesses?amnesty Nicaragua, Managua 2018, state repression, M4 carbine, missing witness, common crime vs political amnesty, cleaned scene, covert execution, international justice, unsolved case, judicial impunity, true crime Spanish podcastIf you want to listen to this podcast ad-free and have access to premium episodes, we invite you to try our subscription with a 14-day free trial at obomedia.com.© 2026 OBOMEDIA.

    The Killer's Smile Who Pretended to Be Devastated

    The smile of the killer who pretended to be heartbroken: 24 shots, a Miss World candidate murdered out of jealousy, and a man who walked to the police as if nothing had happened. In Honduras, November 2014, brutality does not always hide behind remorse. In this investigation, you will discover how Plutarco Ruiz executed two sisters with systematic precision, then acted as a distressed boyfriend in front of the cameras, feigned insanity at trial, and believed that his coordinated lies would save him from 45 years in prison.In this episode, we will dissect the night when everything changed: witnesses who saw gunfire at a birthday party, bodies buried in a six-hour pit, bloodstains deliberately cleaned, and a psychiatrist who unmasks the perfect performance of a killer. We will explore Plutarco's obsession with controlling Sofía, his partner, and how that toxic violence over months transformed into a massacre in seconds. You will meet María José Alvarado, six days away from traveling to Miss World 2014 in London, murdered because her sister dared to try to escape.Case DetailsVictim: María José Alvarado García, 19 years old, Miss Honduras World candidate; Sofía Alvarado García, 23 years oldDate: November 13, 2014Location: Aguagua Spa, Santa Bárbara, HondurasStatus: Plutarco Ruiz sentenced to 45 years in May 2017; accomplices sentenced to 4 years for concealment- The birthday party ends with 24 shots: 8 at Sofía, 16 at María José, fired by the same revolver whose author voluntarily surrendered, claiming to be the worried boyfriend- Valentín Maldonado, accomplice and witness, buried both bodies in six hours while Plutarco remained in the truck, suggesting a deliberate delegation of physical evidence- The accounts of Plutarco, Ventura Díaz, and Elizabeth Alvarado about "the men from Copán" are identical word for word, evidence of a coordinated alibi that undermines any credibility- The brutality is undeniable: 16 shots in María José radically contrast with her passive role in the toxic relationship, indicating that she was murdered for her potential to escape, not for direct actionHow did Plutarco manage to smile at the cameras when arrested if he had just executed two young women with professional precision?crime Honduras 2014, María José Alvarado murdered, Miss World candidate victim, Plutarco Ruiz killer, domestic violence femicide, Santa Bárbara Honduras, unsolved case, justice Honduras, true crime Spanish, real crime podcast, judicial truth, impunity Honduras, true crime Spanish podcastIf you want to listen to this podcast without ads and have access to premium episodes, we invite you to try our subscription with a 14-day free trial at obomedia.com.© 2026 OBOMEDIA.

    Enters at 1:23, never exits: the Anaí Bolnes case

    She left early in the morning without a cell phone or documents. At 1:23 a.m., cameras captured her entering a building with a stranger. No camera recorded her leaving. Eleven garbage bags, blood in an outlet, and a trial without a body that ended in life imprisonment: the case of Anaí Bolnes, the teacher from Córdoba whose disappearance in 2022 revealed a web of institutional violence and a crime that visual records condemned before any words could.In this episode, we reconstruct Anaí's last early morning: how a divorced woman, mother of three daughters and a secret sex worker crossed a door she would never cross again. You will discover why the DNA in that apartment closed all hypotheses of voluntary escape, how eleven bags' exits reveal a systematic plan, and why the testimony of nearly 60 people was not enough until the cameras spoke. This is the anatomy of a femicide without a body that ended in life imprisonment.Case DetailsVictim: Anaí Bolnes, 36 years old, special education teacher, mother of three daughtersDate: December 5-6, 2022 (confirmed disappearance); sentence: August 28, 2024Location: Córdoba, Argentina (historic center, building near bridge over Río Suquía)Status: Santiago Campos Matos sentenced to life imprisonment; Anaí's remains were never recovered; final sentence since August 28, 2024- Last verifiable image of Anaí: entering the building at 1:23 a.m. with Campos Matos.

    The Girl Who Wrote Her Truth Before the Trial

    An 8-year-old girl was ripped from her unprotected bed in the middle of the night, brutally assaulted, and left for dead. She survived. Unable to speak due to her injuries, she wrote down the name of her attacker. For 19 years, that lead sat in a forgotten file. When DNA finally spoke, the truth emerged, but the trial never took place. In this episode, you will discover how the written testimony of a traumatized girl became the evidence that identified her predator nearly two decades later. You will learn the details that Jennifer recorded while she was dying in the hospital, the investigation that vanished into cold files, and the technology that finally brought justice. But you will also face the most disturbing question: what does it mean to solve a crime when the perpetrator dies in prison before being convicted?

    The Call That No One Heard: Tina Fontaine

    An Indigenous girl called 911 naming her killer two weeks before she died. The police never heard that call. Tina Fontaine disappeared in Winnipeg in August 2014 and was found wrapped in a comforter with rocks in the Red River. Her case exposes how the family, social services, and the law simultaneously failed.In this episode, we trace every moment when Tina could have been saved: the unknown 911 call, the ignored alert when she was released into a car with a drunk driver, and the disappearance of her mother just when she needed her most. You will discover how a six-month undercover operation captured recorded confessions, but a jury decided in less than twenty-four hours that there was not enough evidence. The man accused died without conviction in 2024.Case Details Victim: Tina Fontaine, 15 years old, Indigenous from Manitoba Date: August 17, 2014 (discovery) Location: Red River, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada Status: Raymond Cormier found not guilty January 2018, died 2024 without conviction - The 911 call from August 6 where Tina names "Sebastian" as responsible for theft was unknown during the initial investigation until weeks later - Raymond Cormier admitted under recorded surveillance to having had sexual relations with Tina, contradicting what he told the police - Eight DNA profiles were found on the comforter where she was wrapped, none matched Raymond Cormier - The officer who released her on August 8 into a car with a drunk driver did not check the active high-risk missing person alert How did a case with recorded confessions, willing witnesses, and a documented pattern of predation end in not guilty?Tina Fontaine case, Indigenous murder Winnipeg, justice for Indigenous women, unsolved crime Canada, failed undercover operation, violence against Indigenous minors, corruption in protection systems, true crime Spanish podcast If you want to listen to this podcast ad-free and have access to premium episodes, we invite you to try our subscription with a 14-day free trial at obomedia.com. © 2026 OBOMEDIA.

    The Neighbor Who Recorded the Killer's Secret Weapon

    A neighbor secretly recorded what would change everything: in the bed of her neighbor's truck were exactly the same tools found where two friends disappeared in the mountains. A boundary dispute escalated to double homicide, international flight, and 100 days of searching. The smallest details always matter.In this episode, you will discover how modern digital technology solved a case that seemed impossible. From cell data that contradicts any defense to the confession on day 40 that revealed a search for a computer in the victim's house, every piece of evidence fits perfectly. You will meet Patrick Shun and Mo'nique Patnot, and how an incorrect cat bowl proved the killer's presence in their home.Case DetailsVictim: Patrick Shun, 52 years old, physics teacher; Mo'nique Patnot, 54 years old, nurseDate: April 11-12, 2017Location: Oso, Snohomish County, Washington, United StatesStatus: John Reed sentenced to life in prison without parole (2018); Tony Reed released after charge reduction (2017)- Patrick's health app recorded his last button press at 3:07 p.m. on April 11, but John Reed claimed that both attacked him simultaneously in the morning - the health data completely refutes this.- Tony Reed confessed on day 40 that John entered the victim's house and fed the cat with the wrong bowl while searching for a computer - details that no one except the killer could know.- Suzanne's secret video captured John Reed with a 4x4 post identical to the one found at the crime scene, but he never explained how or why that specific tool was in his truck.- Both victims' phones were thrown into a spring 268 feet below where their vehicles were pushed off the cliff, locations that only Tony could reveal after his confession.How did a cat bowl and a secret neighbor recording lead to solving a double murder that could have remained unsolved forever?double murder Oso Washington, Patrick Shun Mo'nique Patnot crime, property boundary crime, John Reed prison, digital evidence case resolution, homicide confession, true crime Spanish podcastIf you want to listen to this podcast ad-free and have access to premium episodes, we invite you to try our subscription with a 14-day free trial at obomedia.com.© 2026 OBOMEDIA.

    The Police Officer, the iPhone, and Three Years of Silence

    A police officer was in Sandra's apartment three minutes before her iPhone recorded her last movements. That night, Sandra was found dead and authorities closed it as a suicide within hours. How did an entire system decide not to see what was in front of its eyes for over three years? In this episode, you will discover how 32,000 messages revealed a relationship that began when Sandra was 13 years old, how a broken necklace and phone data became the evidence that no one wanted to investigate, and why a police chief and the FBI had to act when the local system refused to look. A story of institutional cover-up, systematic abuse, and the technology that finally spoke the truth.

ABOUT THIS SHOW

What really happened — and why does the official story never quite add up? True Crime Obsessed is the podcast that goes beyond the headlines to examine real criminal cases with the detail they actually deserve. Each week, host Jack breaks down real cases — from cold cases buried in court archives to high-profile investigations the media got wrong — using a research-first approach that separates fact from speculation. This isn't shock value. It's criminal investigation done seriously. Jack spent years studying forensic psychology and criminal behavior, and has interviewed detectives, defense attorneys, and survivors to build a framework for understanding how crimes happen, how investigations unfold, and where the system fails.
