The Fall Line: True Crime
True crime podcasting often forgets that, underneath the gore and sensationalism, there are real people, real families, and real justice waiting to be served. The Fall Line® focuses on ethical, deep-dive coverage of the cold cases of missing people, unsolved homicides, and unidentified persons called John and Jane Does. Intensive research and in-depth interviews with families, law enforcement, and experts tell the stories of victims and survivors you’ve never heard of. . . and why their cases were ignored in the first place.

Don’t Forget: The Death of Vandree OldPerson

But her family still has questions, and rumors have continued regarding the night Vandree died— about who was with her, how she ended up alone, and why no one told the same story. If you have any information regarding the death of Vandree OldPerson that you feel could lead to a re-opening of the investigation, please contact Blackfeet Law Enforcement Agency at 406-338-4000.

‘Our Songbird’: The Disappearance of Kaylee Mae Nelson-Jerry
Kaylee Mae Nelson-Jerry grew up loving gymnastics, journaling, church, and singing; she was very close with her family, who were deeply enmeshed in the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe’s community and leadership in the Auburn, Washington area, where Kaylee lived. But after a catastrophic car accident, Kaylee’s life irrevocably changed; she wasn’t truly recovered when she graduated high school, and received her per capita trust fund. Her family says that’s when things really began to go wrong—when the people who exploit Native teens and young adults for their money set their sights on Kaylee.

He was one of many young men and boys who went missing in the city in the ‘70s—and like them, he received no attention from the media. Roger’s sister, who’d spent years searching for him after they were separated as children, was sure he wouldn’t simply leave. When his family discovered Roger had potentially crossed paths with John Wayne Gacy, they went to Cook County authorities about the remaining unidentified victims, and whether Roger could be a match. It was supposed to be one possible avenue in the search—but instead, created a new mystery.

Listen Now - Hollywood & Crime: The Cotton Club Murder
On June 10th, 1983, the decomposing body of a well-dressed man was found in a desolate canyon near Los Angeles. John Doe #94 would soon be identified as missing variety show producer Roy Radin. He'd last been seen after meeting with a mysterious woman in a gold dress. Her name was Lanie Jacobs. Jacobs and Radin were obsessed with becoming Hollywood movie producers. And when their paths collided, it led them to a tantalizing film deal promising fame and fortune. But then, a twisted script unfolded, plunging them into a million-dollar cocaine and cash heist, a tangled web of lies, and ultimately – murder. The trail led investigators right to Hollywood's doorstep, linking former golden boy producer Robert Evans to the case and dredging up Radin's own troubled past. But the case turned ice cold. It would take more than five years of dogged pursuit by the L.A. Sheriff’s Department detectives, a secret undercover witness, and another murder almost 3,000 miles from Hollywood – to unlock the truth. This is the story of a doomed Hollywood partnership, a grisly murder and the search that stretched across the country for a killer – or killers. From Wondery, and the team behind the hit series Hollywood & Crime: The Dating Game Killer, The Wonderland Murders, Death of Starlet, and the Execution of Bonny Lee Bakley comes a six part series that dives into the dark side of Hollywood through a shocking murder – fueled by ruthless ambition and desperate dreams. Co-hosted by Tracy Pattin and Josh Lucas. Listen to Hollywood & Crime: The Cotton Club Murder:

Today we're sharing an episode of the new podcast, Radioactive: The Karen Silkwood Mystery. It details the death of a 28-year-old whistleblower which, 50 years later, haunts Oklahoma and the nation. The young plutonium plant worker died in a fatal crash while driving to meet a reporter with The New York Times. She’d agreed to deliver sensitive documents that were never found. Two reporters who covered the story in 1974 have spent years trying to piece together what many in Oklahoma speculate: Karen Silkwood may have died for what she knew. Now, hear newly-discovered investigative tapes, deathbed revelations and long-awaited interviews reexamining what happened that night. Fifty years later, the story still resonates: nuclear secrets, threats to the powerful, and why the truth stubbornly refuses to stay buried.

In our final episode of the season, we continue the story of Calvin Willie Martinez. Mothers Day 2019 was the last time Calvin Willie Martinez’s family heard from him. After suffering an immense loss in 2014, Calvin had struggled with depression and alcohol dependence. But he always stayed in contact with his loved ones—so when he called them from a truck stop in Albuquerque, NM, and promised he was heading home, they believed him. But Calvin never arrived. Ever since, his sister Becky Martinez has been advocating for her brother. And as she discovered in late 2023, that persistence was vital: otherwise, his case would have remained erroneously closed. Season 19 focuses on New Mexico and on the cases of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Persons/Missing/ Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Relatives (MMIP/MMIWR) whose loved ones are still fighting for resolution in their cases.

The Grays Harbor Jane Doe: Unsolved Homicides, Part 6
In October of 1988, the remains of a homicide victim were found in a rural area of Grays Harbor County, just outside Elma, Washington. A dedicated detective worked her case for years—first in his role with the sheriff's office, and then as coroner. Even now, in his retirement, he’s followed the case. Despite thousands of hours of investigation, her identity remained elusive; but then, in 2018, forensic investigative genetic genealogy became a possibility, and The DNA Doe Project took on the case of the Grays Harbor Jane Doe. But her case has proved incredibly difficult, and genelaogists and investigators need your help to reconnect her to her identity, and solve her murder. Season 18 covers four unsolved homicides in four states and across three decades: all are in need of local and national attention to be resolved. Go to for FREE appetizers for life!

The Murder of Susan Minard Lund: Unsolved Homicides, Part 5
For almost thirty years, Susan Minard Lund’s children believed she’d run away and abandoned them; after she disappeared on Christmas Eve of 1992 in Clarksville TN, a search was launched, but late the next year, her missing-persons report was closed. That’s because a woman in Alabama claimed to be Sue, and authorities accepted the claim. Her siblings and parents never believed it, though, and they were proven right. Her story, and the story of Ina Jane Doe, are the throughline of Laurah Norton’s book, LAY THEM TO REST, and Sue’s family joins us to tell a piece of the story not covered in the book: what it’s been like to deal with the aftermath of knowledge of what they learned—and what the rest of the justice they are waiting for. Season 18 covers four unsolved homicides in four states and across three decades: all are in need of local and national attention to be resolved.
