The Palmetto Sleuth Podcast-A True Crime Podcast.

John Alexander
In this true crime podcast, We discuss topics related to cold case missing persons/unsolved homicide investigations, missing and exploited children, those missing near me in my home state of S.C., and any other related subject matter. We strive to bring awareness and a voice to the families of the missing and murdered victims of these tragic events through social media platforms. I am a former Chief of Police and my goal is to bring my training, experience and contacts to these issues in the hopes of raising awareness of the seriousness of this epidemic. Our goal is to advocate for more attention and care to the families who have experienced one of these tragedies and to bring awareness to the proper elected officials to help bring about proper change.

Life Mistakes Do Not Determine A Victims Worth
In our season ending episode we discuss an issue that has been very common place in the cases we have been working. A missing persons questionable background or life mistakes are not a gauge to determine how much that investigation gets the proper attention and service. It is not our place, or anyone else's, to pass judgment on someone especially when they are a victim. We are getting so many stories from families who know and/or have heard their missing loved one and their mistakes and run-ins with Law Enforcement have been a gauge for the level(or lack thereof) of service and effort put into the investigation. Many families can barely get callbacks or information from investigators and this is unprofessional and paints a very bad light on those in Law Enforcement who work hard to do the right thing everyday and by every victim.
