  • 294. Revenge and Ruin: The Pearson Family
    Jan 29 2025

    In the early hours of December 11, 2017, the small, tight-knit community of Walkden, Salford, was thrust into the heart of a nightmare that would forever scar its residents. It was just after 5 a.m. when Michelle Pearson, a single mother of five, dialed emergency services. Desperate and trembling, her voice cut through the static as fire and rescue teams scrambled to the scene, racing against time. Flames already consumed the house. Neighbors watched helplessly as the fire raged. Inside, Michelle’s family was trapped. Michelle was a mother to five children: 17-year-old Kyle, 15-year-old Demi,8-year-old Brandon, 7-year-old Lacie, and the youngest, 3-year-old Lia. Michelle was their protector and rock. But on this fateful morning, she was about to find herself in a battle for their lives, a battle she would lose.

  • 293. She'll Pay: The Stalking and Murder of Shana Grice
    Jan 22 2025
    Men are afraid that women will laugh at them. Women are afraid that men will kill them.-Margaret AtwoodShana Grice was a bubbly teenager who worked as an office receptionist in Portslade in the summer of 2015. At the time, she was just 18, bright-eyed and full of promise. She was excited to be able to save money for the wedding she planned with her boyfriend of two years, Ashley.Shana's co-worker Michael Lane, a 26-year-old mechanic was instantly smitten with Shana. Lane was eight years older than Shana, and she was quite flattered by this older guy’s attention. So, when Shana’s and Ashley’s relationship hit a rough patch, and the couple decided to “take a break,” her relationship with Michael Lane went from flirtatious to something more physical.After a three-month relationship with Michael, Shana decided she wanted to be with her high school sweetheart, Ashley, and broke off the relationship him. Michael, however, couldn’t abide by her decision and told a friend, “She’ll pay for what she’s done.”Michael became obsessed with Shana and began stalking her. Shana was afraid and went to the police for help on five occasions. It seems her complaints fell on deaf ears.Join us as we discuss, "She'll Pay: The Stalking and Murder of Shana Grice."We will be in London at CrimeCon UK! Come see us!

  • 292. Officer Down: The Execution of Sergeant Carl D. "Dewayne" Graham
    Jan 15 2025
    It was a cold November evening on the 26th, 2004, in Van Buren, Missouri, when the events that would soon unravel in the small, unsuspecting town began to take shape. Two men, Lance Shockley and his sister-in-law’s fiancé, Jeffrey Bayless, embarked on an innocent enough drive in Bayless' truck. But as they made their way, something went wrong. Under Shockley’s control, the vehicle careened off the road, plunging into a ditch. But it wasn’t the crash that would raise the most questions—it was what happened afterward that would haunt everyone involved. As the investigation unfolded under Highway Patrol Sergeant Carl DeWayne Graham, Jr., the small town would see another person lose their life. Join Jen and Cam on this Our True Crime Podcast episode entitled, ‘Officer Down: The Execution of Sergeant Carl D. "Dewayne" Graham.’

I love Jen and Cam

No, I love Cam and Jen... Whatever! The style of this podcast is easy to listen to and easy to follow, although I usually fast forward through the ads and promos (sorry, guys). I was pleased to discover that they even covered a crime from my local town that took place in the seventies. It was interesting to listen to, as no one in the valley talks about it, except to say, that's the house where the victims lived. Keep up the good work!
