Murder in Redway
Yesterday00:49:45Summary readyHow do you murder someone in a small town with no forced entry…and get away with it for a decade? Stephanie Gawboy, a beloved massage therapist, was found shot to death on her own table in Redway, California — deep in Humboldt County's cannabis country — five days after anyone last saw her alive. No broken locks. No signs of a struggle. Just a community full of people who thought they knew her, and one question that still hangs over the town: who was close enough to walk in, and why did they want her dead? If you know anything about the death of Stephanie Gawboy, call the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office tip line at (707) 268-2539, or email us at podcastcrimescene@gmail.com.

4d ago00:08:01Summary readyA man goes missing. Fifteen months later, his family finds a fresh concrete slab poured in his backyard. What's buried underneath changes everything. Five years ago, journalist Justine van der Leun started sending letters to Kwaneta Harris, a convicted murderer in a Texas prison. She was also a gifted writer, ""Mama Detroit"" to the women around her. She swore the story wasn’t what it seemed. So Justine went digging. What she found was a decade-long relationship curdled, a body under a concrete slab, and a trail of stolen identities and lies. Who is Kwaneta Harris?

The Snare, from ABC News
Jul 1500:29:54Summary readyToday, we have something a little different for you: it’s the first episode of The Snare, from ABC News and 20/20. The Snare examines the gruesome murder of 18-year-old Angie Dodge, who was killed in her apartment in Idaho Falls in 1996. As investigators hunted for her killer, DNA recovered from the crime scene pointed to an unidentified suspect. Despite the evidence, police built their case against another man, Chris Tapp, securing a conviction that later unraveled while the real killer remained at large. As the years passed, Angie’s mother Carol never gave up on a decades-long mission to uncover the truth. It took twenty long years, but finally, through Carol’s persistence and some incredible new DNA matching technology, Angie’s real killer was put behind bars. The Snare tells the whole story, including audio from Chris Tapp’s interrogation and so much more. Here’s the first episode, and you can keep listening by following The Snare on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Real Fugitive: Murder of the Fourth of July

Where is Kristin Smart?
Jun 2500:45:23Summary readyA 19-year-old Cal Poly freshman leaves a Memorial Day party in 1996 and never makes it back to her dorm. No body, no crime scene – just one last person seen walking beside her in the dark. For nearly 25 years, the case of Kristin Smart went cold — kept alive only by a family that refused to stop asking questions. It took a small-town sheriff willing to break silence and an outsider podcaster methodically knocking on doors to finally crack open what happened that night — and why so many people stayed quiet for so long.
