Crawlspace – True Crime & Mysteries

Crawlspace is where crime meets culture.
We host interesting conversations about unsolved murders, serial killers, cold cases and paranormal activity. We go beyond entertainment as we dig deeper to tell stories of crimes, vanished people, and injustices. Our guests include survivors, authors, journalists, podcasters, advocates, and educators.
Starting in 2017 with a deep dive into the disappearance of Brianna Maitland, Crawlspace is hosted by Tim Pilleri & Lance Reenstierna of the Missing Maura Murray and Missing podcasts.
Frequent topics include unsolved murders like the JonBenét Ramsey case, wrongful convictions like John Giuca, serial killers like the Zodiac killer, Christopher Wilder, and Jeffrey Dahmer. We speak with experts in criminal psychology like Dr Michelle Ward, survivors like Jane Boroski, and even Satanist Lucien Greaves. But we also have a lighter side where we discuss ghosts and paranormal activity, weird cryptids like Bigfoot and Mothman, and fun mysteries like the dolls found in a Michigan couple’s mailbox.
Authors like Jon Ronson, Rabia Chaudry, and Daniel Stone have joined us and we’ve even spoken with familiar names in comedy and entertainment like Melissa Rivers, Patrick Hinds, and Dave Holmes.
Crawlspace is a Crawlspace Media production.

350 // Jason Flom & Maggie Freleng Jan 25, 2023

Show notes

Welcome to Crawlspace. In this episode Tim Pilleri & Lance Reenstierna speak with old friend Maggie Freleng and new friend Jason Flom. Together, Maggie & Jason work tirelessly (and heroically) to advocate for the wrongfully convicted and in a growing number of cases, overturn those convictions. Listen to their show, Wrongful Conviction here: https://lavaforgood.com/with-maggie-freleng & https://lavaforgood.com/with-jason-flom.

The conversation primarily focuses on the new show, Bone Valley, a Lava For Good production. For more information about Bone Valley, go to:

https://lavaforgood.com/bone-valley/.

Jason is the founding board member of The Innocence Project. For more on that amazing organization go to: https://innocenceproject.org/. Maggie won a Pulitzer Prize for her work on the incredible show Suave. Check it out here: https://www.futuromediagroup.org/suave/

This is a powerful conversation highlighted by a real-time call Jason receives from an incarcerated man named Paul Cortez. In 2005, Catherine Woods was stabbed to death in her Upper Eastside apartment. A confluence of racism, a false media narrative, prosecutorial misconduct, and ineffective counsel sent Paul Cortez away for 25 to life. To learn more and get involved, visit: http://freepaulcortez.com/.

Paul also wrote a book, For Treason of Innocence & you can buy your copy here: https://a.co/d/1l5mNZV.
