Happy New Year! And boy, am I glad it's a new one. It's officially this baby's second year and hopefully, the year in which I really figure out how to podcast - in all seriousness, your listens, comments, and reviews are so appreciated, and I look forward to improving my craft and continuing to bring you lots of breaking updates in 2023. Kicking off on a super strong note, we have a breaking update in the quadruple Idaho murders case; which has been so sad, scary, and scarce on any updates until last week, when an arrest was finally made. Plus, we check in on what's going on with Adnan Syed (both good and bad news, ugh) and the Hae Min Lee case in general. Then we discuss some upcoming dates to put in your mental planner in 2023 - lots of big things are on the horizon. Finally, two media recs - don't hate me for the first one, please.Sources:Grad student arrested in University of Idaho murdersIdaho suspect: everything we know so farAdnan Syed hired by GeorgetownLee family requests redo10 criminal trials scheduled for the first half of 2023Paul Flores sentencing date movedBone Valley podcastPlease rate, review, and send all feedback or cases you'd like updates on to [email protected].

It's a quickie but a relatively biggie, as we have sentencing for former COO of Theranos and right-hand man to convicted fraudster Elizabeth Holmes, Sunny Balwani. He plans to appeal but he's headed to prison as of now for manyy many years. Also, a new lawsuit is filed against extreme predator and convicted assaulted Bill Cosby, who was released after serving only 3 years in prison. And genetic genealogy wins again - ID-ing a boy who was until now only known as the "boy in the box," having been murdered and dumped on the side of a road in Pennsylvania in the 50s. We now have an ID and police are working to catch his killer next... check the sources for the tipline!Sources:Sunny Balwani is sentenced to 13 years in prisonElizabeth Holmes is trying to avoid prisonBill Cosby & NBC is being sued once again for sexual assault"Boy in the Box" is Identified - if you know anything about this case, submit to the tipline here!How genetic genealogy works - an in-depth article We Can Do Hard Things episode with Sarah Edmonson of NXIVMCrime Scene: The Texas Killing FieldAs always, please rate and review and contact me with your feedback and tips (and thoughts on who's gonna die in The White Lotus!) at [email protected]. 

Just when you think shit can't get crazier. What a year this is for true crime, right? In this breaking-news-packed episode we discuss the JonBenet Ramsey case being reopened and looked at with new eyes and with new, modern DNA testing - will this finally bring about an answer after all these years? And the case of Dan Markel's murder has a possible game-changing moment this week as Katherine Magbanua is seemingly ready to talk - speaking with prosecutors this week; we can only imagine, maybe finally spilling on the Adelsons!? Finally, Elizabeth Holmes has been sentenced!Sources:JonBenet Ramsey murder case is reopenedKatherine Magbanua TalksTweets of Elizabeth Holmes sentencingElizabeth Holmes sentencedThe Good Nurse on NetflixWhen We Were Bright and BeautifulContact me at [email protected] with any tips, feedback, or cases you'd like me to bring updates on!

Welcome back to another wild week in true crime with a couple major breaking updates on cold cases. A couple of this week's topics were directly thanks to an amazing post in the My Favorite Murderino Frienderino Fb group rounding up all the updates and breakthroughs of late, which put some new cases on Emmy's radar! Including the Lady of the Dunes finally being ID-ed. Our biggest case this week is a major breakthrough (arrest!) in the Delphi Murders case after years of no answers. We also cover the latest in the Elizabeth Holmes saga. Plus a robust list of media recs to stream - and one to DEFINITELY not.

Wow, thanks so much for the listens on the last episode's recap of the Adnan Syed developments! This week we have even bigger headlines if possible; in the form of MAJOR news about the 4-month trial of Paul and Rubin Flores for the 1996 murder of Kristen Smart. Verdicts were read this week after two separate juries deliberated, and wow I thought this day would never come! And if that wasn't enough - Adnan Syed is a FULLY free man after the pending DNA results came back this week, pointing to two alternate suspects and causing the state to completely drop all charges against him in the killing  of Hae Min Lee. Will we have another trial soon? What's next for Adnan? All that and more. Finally, scumbag Harvey Weinstein heads to trial, part 2, on 11 counts of rape and assault. And we share some spooky snz-appropriate watches, reads, and listens for your weekend.SourcesPaul Flores is found GUILTY of murder/Ruben Flores is found not guiltyAll charges dropped against Adnan SyedHarvey Weinstein LA trial to begin MondayYour Own Backyard PodcastRabia and Ellen Solve the CaseUnsolved MysteriesThe Cut article on "The Watcher"Please remember to rate and review - unless you're gonna hate on my voice because sorry it's just my voice - and email me your tips, comments, and Halloween costumes at [email protected]!

This episode is admittedly 3 weeks overdue, but we have a MAJOR, major, impossible to see coming update in the case of Adnan Syed, who was convicted over 20 years ago for the murder of his ex-girlfriend Hae Min Lee, and has been serving out a life sentence ever since. We cover the shocking update of the state of Maryland filing a motion to have his conviction vacated, and the even more shocking update of his conviction ACTUALLY being vacated! Unbelieavble. Emmy also shares some media recommendations and delves into the heated debate about the new Dahmer Netflix show and what it says about the true crime genre as a whole.

This week's episode is a little chaotic and a little all over the place, but we cover some ground and get caught up on updates in a handful of high-profile true crime cases, including what's up with Sunny Balwani's pending sentencing, Elizabeth Holmes' latest scheme to avoid prison time, crazily, Scott Peterson is in the news cycle again (ugh!), and R. Kelly general awfulness. Emmy also shares a handful of media recs in the true crime space, both podcasts, and books, and introduced a new segment: outside of crime, where she shares an unrelated obsession that's making/ruining her life this week (the obsesssion is part of the reason this podcast is belated.)Listen in and get updated!Sources:The latest with Sunny BalwaniElizabeth Holmes asks for retrialScott Peterson's bid for retrialScott Peterson's case WikipediaTrue Crime Obsesssed: The Murder of Laci PetersonR.

Welcome to episode 13! We're breaking format a little bit today and talking about some different-than-usual topics that are in the headlines this week, because wow is it a different-than-usual week! We have to talk about the FBI Mar-A-Lago raids...we have to talk about Alex Jones. And then we also go into where Ghislaine Maxwell is serving her sentence, what sentence Katherine Magbanua got last week, how the very last accused woman in the Salem Witch Trials had her name cleared 300 + years after the fact...and more. It's a doozy. It's a mix bag. It's a lot. So to wrap up, Emmy shares some of the non true-crime media recommendations (breaking format again!) she's consuming this week to disassociate just a bit. Cause we could all use it.Sources:Trump's Mar a Lago raided by FBITucker Carlson is shitting himselfKatherine Magbanua's sentencingAlex Jones circus of a trialOfficers charged in the murder of Breonna TaylorLast Conviction in Salem Witch Trials is ClearedPop Apologists Podcast

It's been a minute, again, after a chaotic AF month for Emmy with family drama, back-to-back travel, and COVID...womp womp. But we're back! With a long list of updates in some of the biggest true crime cases of the moment, including movement in the trial of Paul and Ruben Flores, finally! We have a sentencing date for Katherine Magbanua, and a new tell-all book by Dan Markel's mother. Are we getting closer to answers, finally, about Adnan Syed from the hit podcast serial? It sounds like it! There's also some major movement in the INSANE case of Alec Murdaugh, former SC attorney - truly one of the craziest cases you've ever heard of. Listen in and get updated on the world of true crime as of late.Sources:Your Own Backyard with trial updatesGhislaine Maxwell gets her sentence Pre-order Ruth Markel's tell-all bookCould we finally get answers about Adnan Syed and who killed Hae Min Lee?Baltimore is getting a new state attorneyAlex Murdaugh pleads not guiltyMisconduct allegations against Billy JensenI'll be Gone in the Dark documentaryVictoria's Secret Hulu documentaryThe Good Nurse

Whew, long time no update! Emmy appreciates your patience, as it's been a month full of personal chaos, unexpected travel, death in the family, etc. But we're back and with a full agenda of true crime updates, cause a lot has happened in some very high-profile cases including Paul Flores' and Ruben Flores' trial finally taking shape, Gabby Petito's family taking Brian Laundrie's family to court in a civil suit, delays in the trial of the other two cops in the murder of George Floyd, and perhaps the OG of unsolved cases - Jon Benet Ramsey's brother is calling for a renewed testing of DNA.
