Crime On The Record

This week we discuss the city of Birmingham, AL and the drastic increase in murders in 2022, taking a deeper look into the bloody months of July and August. While the murders aren't necessarily shocking, it's the rate at which they are occurring that is most disturbing. We also talk about just how close to home these crimes are for us personally.

This week, we're changing it up. We will be discussing a cold case regarding the disappearance of Tyler Davis. After returning to their hotel in Columbus, Ohio after a night out, Tyler went for a walk and was never seen again. We discuss the details of the case and attempt to formulate a theory of what could have happened.

A 17 year old found dead, his cause of death listed a "probably accidental." A homeless man who seems to predict the future and then disappear. And a cop who is too focused on trafficking drugs when he should have been investigating the case. All this and more in the suspicious death of Kurt Sova.
