S02E19: THE MADELEINE MCCANN CASE (PART I)
Explicit content warning
01/19/22 • 71 min
In part I of our season 2 finale, we discuss the high profile Madeleine McCann case- a case which is still highly debated and unsolved to this day.
The McCann family was vacationing in Praia Da Luz, Portugal in May 2007 when their three-year-old daughter Madeleine was abducted from her bed while her parents were at a restaurant with friends only feet away from Apartment 5A. Shortly after her abduction, the Portugal police begin an investigation into the missing toddler only to quickly zero on three major suspects: An interpreter named Robert Murat ( a British man who injects himself into the investigation in an attempt to help locate Madeleine) and the girl's own parents Kate and Gerry McCann.
In part one of our discussion, we talk about the circumstances and timeline surrounding her disappearance and the events directly following the abduction. Also, we take a look at these three major suspects who were given official "arguido" status in the early stages of the investigation and how the police's tunnel vision on these two possible scenarios may have distracted them from other leads that could have been much more promising.
Our discussion and dissection of one of the world's most high-profile missing person's case is one you don't want to miss!

S03E01: THE MURDERS OF KYLEN SCHULTE & CRYSTAL TURNER
In our season 3 premiere, we invite Jia Wertz back to the show to discuss a case covered in her new podcast series, "Speaking Of Crime".
Kylen Schulte and Crystal Turner were a married couple who were murdered near Moab, Utah in August 2021. The women were last seen shortly after midnight on August 14 after a night out with friends. A few days later, a family friend went looking for them and found them dead at their campsite with multiple gunshot wounds. Sadly, the women mentioned to their friends that there was a "creepy guy" lingering near their campsite in the few days prior, so this logically seems like the first person of interest. But who is this "creepy guy?"
Kylen's father Sean-Paul sprung into action in the early days of the investigation and was able to create a list of 17 people who could be considered suspects, and he even found a set of keys near the crime scene. All these leads have been turned over to law enforcement, who have given the family nothing in return about where these leads have taken the investigation.
We speak with Jia in-depth about this unsolved case as well as its connection to the biggest true crime case in recent decades: the murder of Gabby Petito.
