Tapes from the Darkside

Latest Episodes:

S7, Chapter 1: Jacob Jeremiah Landin May 30, 2023

Show notes

Part 1-of-4.
I want to tell you a true crime story that is close to me. Closer than perhaps any story I’ve told so far. It’s the story about the death of my friend’s brother.
In 1987, Jacob was killed when he was only nine-months-old. His brother, Eric, was only six at the time—but, shockingly, he was blamed for his baby brother’s death.
This is Eric and Jacob's story.
This story is told in collaboration with Eric Carter-Landin.

S5, PATREON EP PREVIEW: Dr. Shelly and The Brain Jan 23, 2023

Show notes

This is a preview for the second bonus episode from S5: The Execution of Daniel Shaver. In this episode, we delve into the history of misconduct at the Maricopa County Medical Examiner's Office. Specifically, a one: Dr. Mark Shelly.
Dr. Shelly performed the autopsy on Daniel Shaver and even gave testimony during the trial of Mitch Brailsford. But this episode is about events that occurred much earlier. In fact, seven years earlier—when Dr. Shelly was working as a naval doctor.
On that fatal winter night in 2011, Dr. Shelly made a decision that would make national headlines, cost him his job, and forever stain his otherwise pristine reputation.
—
If you want to hear the full episode it will be on Patreon, ad-free, where you can also hear every episode in our back catalogue...also, ad-free, and at pristine 320 kilobytes-per-second audio quality.
I’m making an effort to put out more consistent exclusive Patreon episodes. My goal is twice a month bonus content of some kind—whether it be an interview, aftershow, or a bonus episode like this one.
The support we get helps us to continue making this brand of independent deep-dive true crime content. Every single dollar truly makes a difference. Thank you to everyone who supports us.
