Sheryl "Mac" McCollum | Cold Case Investigative Research Institute Jun 01, 2022

Show notes

This episode might be best enjoyed on a front porch with some sweet tea. I don’t live in the south, but my guest’s stories made me feel I was there; creaky doors closing to keep the mosquitos out, and humid air thick with mystery and secrets. I was transported as today’s guest told me stories of her life and career.
I met Sheryl McCollum at CrimeCon and knew she must come on the show and share about her work. She is currently a crime scene analyst, but got her start volunteering at a rape crisis center at Grady Hospital. But her love of mysteries and solving cold cases goes way back to childhood when her mama introduced her to criminal couple, Bonnie and Clyde.
Sheryl is an Emmy Award winning CSI from CBS46’s CSI Atlanta, Director of the Cold Case Investigative Research Institute (CCIRI), a writer for CrimeOnLine, Forensic and Crime Scene Expert for Crime Stories with Nancy Grace, and a CSI for a metro Atlanta Police Department.

David Robinson | Missing Persons Advocate, Daniel Robinson's Father May 25, 2022

Show notes

David Robinson began the search for his son, Daniel, 11 months ago. Parlaying his military experience into the search, David runs the operation like an Army mission. After all, what greater mission is there than to find your missing child?
David shares an overview of his son’s case, the ways law enforcement has failed him, how he has garnered media interest, and the shocking discovery of human remains that David and his volunteers uncovered while searching for Daniel.
CASE BACKGROUND:
Daniel Robinson was last seen the morning of June 23, 2021 leaving his worksite in Buckeye, AZ. He was driving his 2017 blue-grey Jeep Renegade and is believed to have headed west, deeper into desert terrain.
On Tuesday, July 19, 2021, Daniel’s vehicle was found by a rancher a little over two and a half miles from the worksite in a remote part of the desert. On that day, the Rancher reported the vehicle to Buckeye Police Department who later did a search by ground and drone. The vehicle was recovered; Daniel was not found.
Please listen to this episode, then share it with your networks, then check out all the resources below. This story needs ears and action. Listening isn’t enough.
The main website has all the information, but keep reading for specific calls to action: https://pleasehelpfinddaniel.com/

Susan Criss | Presiding Judge in Robert Durst's 2003 Trial May 18, 2022

Show notes

Picture it: you’re at a formal dinner and get seated among strangers. Everyone goes around and shares their name and where they’re from. One table mate says “I’m Susan, I’m from Galveston.” You can’t help but say “Galveston? I can’t hear that without thinking of Robert Durst.” People laugh knowingly. Did I mention the dinner was at CrimeCon? Aforementioned table mate says “I was the judge who presided over Bob Durst’s trial in 2003, for the murder of Morris Black.”
Friends, when I say my jaw dropped I need you to believe me! So this story is true and you can bet that I made good on my promise to contact Susan after CrimeCon to have her on the podcast.
Today’s guest is my dinner mate, Susan Criss. Former prosecutor, then judge, now criminal defense attorney. In addition to spilling some Durst tea, she also talks about her unique vantage point given her experience playing every role in a courtroom. Color me ECSTATIC.
Susan Criss is a true crime enthusiast just like us. In fact, she is working on a book and went to CrimeCon for market research. I think I gave her more than she bargained for. Life is full of surprises. Please enjoy this episode.

REPLAY: Justin Evans | Generation Why May 11, 2022

Show notes

I am just about recovered from Covid, but need another week to get the new series in tact. To that end, please enjoy a REPLAY with my friend and one of the OG true crime podcasters, Justin Evans. Justin even does the show's intro so enjoy his smooth voice until I am back with an all new episode next week. Thank you, Justin for lending your voice and for the fun walk down memory lane in this February 2020 interview!
Original show notes Feb 2020:
Before there was SERIAL, there was Generation Why. Justin Evans is one half of Generation WHY - the actual OG of true crime podcasts. He's also the one of the kindest guys in podcasting if you ask me. What a thrill to speak with him, hear about the early days of true crime podcasting, how he keeps it fresh with Aaron after 8 years, and where he finds himself now. He's also the host of The Peripheral podcast which I am particularly loving as it brings these PERIPHERAL topics around true crime, straight to the top...it's very raw and vulnerable. I like it.
Justin and I recorded in NYC and my only regret is that we didn't have more time. Thank you, Justin, killing the small talk, and I hope to continue the DIE-ALOGUE!

ORIGINAL SHOW NOTES:
Week 2 of our November 2020 series: TRUE CRIME PODCASTERS!
My next guest needs no introduction, but let me try anyway. He is one half of the raucously funny, wild hit of a podcast, TRUE CRIME OBSESSED. The show whose title we all relate to immediately. Patrick Hinds is here today and he shares how he and Gillian stumbled into the successful format of TCO, then formed his network, THE OBSESSED NETWORK, and hints at a new show coming in January.
I am confident you will hear a new side of Patrick in this conversation - he says he comes off serious, I say impassioned and I like it! I appreciate Patrick killing the small talk.

Paul Holes | Unmasked Apr 27, 2022

Show notes

You think you know Paul Holes, but do you really? And for the 14 of you wondering “Who is Paul Holes?” Welcome to the bright side.
Paul Holes is an American former cold-case investigator for the Contra Costa County Sheriff's Office. Holes is known for his contributions to solving the Golden State Killer case using advanced methods of identifying the killer with DNA and genealogy technology. He is also inspired the true crime/pop culture hashtag: #hotforHoles
For our final true crime book interview (this season), I spoke with Paul Holes about his new memoir, UNMASKED.
This book reveals an even deeper look into Paul’s illustrious career— which so many of us followed, especially his role in taking down the Golden State Killer. But the book also offers a vulnerable look into Paul’s professional success, and how it often came at the expense of his personal life.
UNMASKED is available now to order. Use this link to purchase!

Jamie Gehring | Author, Madman in the Woods Apr 20, 2022

Show notes

Have you ever known someone in childhood who became infamous or notorious later?
Today’s episode — the third in our “New True Crime Books” series, features a captivating story of an ordinary woman in an extraordinary circumstance. Like many of us,Jamie Gehring grew up with an eccentric neighbor - we all know the type. But in Jamie’s case, her neighbor’s solitude and “quirkiness” were anything but benign. Her neighbor was Ted Kaczynski.
In her book and in our conversation, Jamie reckons with her memories of Ted; what does she do with the pleasant ones given all she knows now? This conversation is full of nuance, memories, and an exploration of the classic nature vs. nurture debate. And of course, how to maintain integrity in true crime storytelling .
MADMAN IN THE WOODS is available now to order. Use this link: https://tinyurl.com/4w7jww3n\
