True crime is not a black and white story of who did what and why. Criminal events are something more complex, a rather intricate weave of twisted psychological motives and unknow mal-intentions with little to no closures. Crime is not always justified by the “if it bleeds, it leads”, but is a complex beast that covers any type of unwanted mishappenings that occur in the world.

Stories of people who have done wrong, been wronged or have gotten caught somewhere in the middle are the forte of this unique crime podcast.
