For 35-year-old Crystal Rogers, nothing was more important than her family - her parents, her four kids, and her long-term boyfriend, Brooks. So on July 4th weekend, 2015, when all of these people realized that none of them had heard from her in days, panic ensued. Her car was soon found abandoned on the side of the highway. It had a flat tire and her purse, cell phone, and wallet were all left inside the vehicle. So what happened? Was she abducted? Did she take off? As the police and her parents begin to investigate separately, they find more questions than answers. And when the cops connect her disappearance to two other murders in the area, a picture starts to come into focus. The journey to finding out what happened to Crystal WILL LEAVE YOU SCREAMING. So, you know, come scream with us.

All right Fam, get ready for our first-ever episode covering the icon himself: Joe Kenda. We're in Colorado Springs, on June 5, 1988. The brutalized body of 24-year-old Mary Lynn Vialpando has been discovered in a back alley. There are almost no clues to who killed her. But Joe Kenda is on the case. When Mary Lynn's husband frantically appears at the crime scene, he becomes suspect number one. But in the first case in Colorado's history to use DNA technology to solve this crime, it would take years for the killer to be caught and for Mary Lynn to receive some measure of justice.

Hey Fam! We’re so excited to share this conversation between Patrick, Josh Hallmark, host of the podcasts True Crime Bullshit and Unsafe Spaces, and Eric Carter-Landin, co-founder of AdvocacyCon and host of the podcast True Consequences..

In this conversation, Patrick, Josh, and Eric chat about why they podcast, how they go into it, the distinct perspectives of being gay men covering true crime, and they share the true crime podcasts they’ve loved over the past few years. This is a great opportunity to learn about podcasts you may not have heard of and, as Patrick says, to hear three queens flame out over the existence of an America’s Next Top model tell all podcast. It’s…sassy.

Check out Josh and Eric's Stuff:
True Crime Bullshit: True Crime Bullsh** is a serialized, investigative podcast that aims to identify the missing victims of serial killer Israel Keyes. Host Josh Hallmark has spent close to a decade combing through FBI files, analyzing interrogation videos, and working with experts in the field in this comprehensive and ground-breaking podcast.
Unsafe Spaces: Unsafe Spaces explores the murders that corrupt and exploit the places we’re meant to feel the safest; be it our churches, the gay community, or even our own homes. Season one investigates a complex string of serial murders that occurred within the Tampa gay community between 1998 and 2006.
True Consequences: Abq NM-based, award-winning true crime podcast, with advocacy-focused cases from the Southwestern state of New Mexico and the American Desert Southwest.
AdvocacyCon: AdvocacyCon is a crime conference unlike any other. We bring together experts, non-profit organizations, families of the missing and murdered, and individuals passionate about advocating for justice. It aims to create a platform for education, connection, and collaboration in the fight for justice.

In April 2005, Ha Smith, a prominent Vietnamese-American fortune teller, and her adult daughter, Anita Vo, were found brutally murdered in Smith's home. They had been beaten and stabbed. The killer had stolen cash, jewelry, and credit cards, and poured white paint over the victims' heads and hands, a detail that initially led police to consider that it had been a ritualistic killing. It would take weeks and a cross country manhunt to uncover the truth. Fam, THIS. ONE. IS. WILD.
