I have previously posted about the podcasts I listen to, so here’s a little update to my roster. These podcasts are more o a ‘crime’ genre and two of them are series! Here are the links to the posts about the other podcasts I enjoy!

The truth is rarely the best story. And when it’s not the only story, the truth deserves another look. Every Wednesday, we tell the complicated stories behind the world’s most controversial events and possible cover-ups. Conspiracy? Maybe. Coincidence? Maybe. Complicated? Absolutely.
I honestly don’t know how I found this one, but I’m glad I did! The first one I listened to was the Marilyn Monroe episode and I was hooked! Super interesting and scary!
For Melissa Moore, 1995 was a nightmare. That’s the year the teenager learned her father, Keith Hunter Jesperson, was a serial killer. It’s also the year Melissa Moore’s doubt spiral began: When you look like your father, and you share his intelligence and charisma, how do you know you’re not a psychopath, too? Happy Face is the story of Keith Hunter Jesperson, his brutal crimes, and the cat and mouse game he played with detectives and the media. But it’s also the story of the horrific legacy he gifted his children. Join Melissa Moore as she investigates her father’s crimes, reckons with the past, and wades through her darkest fears as she hunts for a better future.
I have just finished all episodes, after waiting each week for the new one to come out. It’s really well done and very interesting. I had never heard of this case before! It is quite dark so you’ve been warned!
Markis, Hannah, Devonte, Abigail, Jeremiah, and Sierra Hart—six beautiful black children, ranging in age from 12 to 19—were all adopted by Sarah and Jennifer Hart, both white. On Jen’s Facebook page, it looked as if they were the perfect blended family, even earning the nickname “Hart Tribe” from friends. Then, on March 26, 2018, the family’s GMC Yukon was found belly-up on the rocks below California’s Highway 1. The news of the murder-suicide shocked their friends and made national headlines, leaving many wondering what possibly led to the fatal crash. Could these lives have been saved? Broken Harts, a new podcast from Glamour and HowStuffWorks, investigates this question with more than 30 never-before-heard interviews. Cohosts and Glamour editors Justine Harman and Elisabeth Egan and reporter Lauren Smiley follow the family’s journey from South Dakota through Minnesota, Oregon, and Washington, and finally to that 100-foot cliff in California.
This podcast is brand new and releases a new episode every week so it’s not available to binge yet! I had heard the advertisements for this podcasts while listening to my usual ones. As it’s by HowStuffWorks I was confident that it would be good. I listened to another crime series by them, Atlanta Monster and it was really good and well done. I’m hooked already on this series, the case is so tragic and fascinating. I look forward to the new episode each week
