The Rise of True Crime Podcasts
In recent years, true crime podcasts have surged in popularity, captivating audiences with their in-depth explorations of real-life mysteries and criminal investigations. This burgeoning genre offers listeners a blend of storytelling and investigative journalism, delving into unsolved cases, wrongful convictions, and intricate criminal activities. The immersive nature of podcasts allows for a detailed examination of cases, often uncovering new information or perspectives that traditional media might overlook.
Reopening Cold Cases Through Public Engagement
One of the most significant impacts of true crime podcasts is their ability to reignite interest in cold cases—unsolved crimes that have remained dormant due to a lack of leads or resources. By bringing these cases back into the public eye, podcasts can generate fresh leads and encourage witnesses or individuals with pertinent information to come forward.

He was a criminal, an abuser, likely who didn't want to face justice of his actions and took his own life because he could not face the consequences of what he did. The victims have told the family his crimes, with evidence. The family knows he was arrested and convicted of possession of CSAM. They know who and what he was.
