For any of y'all that have interest and time to listen/read i've found a couple of true crime nuggets i thought i'd pass along.
Audible produced a podcast called "West Cork" about a murder from the mid 90's that is really good so far as was the book "Incendiary" by Michael Cannelle, about the bomber who terrorized Manhattan during the 50's. Check them out...good stuff.

Last Podcast On The Left
True Crime Garage
Criminal
Casefile
Atlanta Monster
Heavens Gate
Caustic Soda

You got any true Crime I’m missing out on? I don’t like the fictional kind.

Listen to TCG, Casefile, and AM. Will check out the rest. Sword and Scale is great. Up and Vanished is too although you’ve probably already listened if you’ve moved on to AM. Mafia is a new one I’ve just started and it’s solid so far.

So all the Providence mob crime history sent me to rewatch Brotherhood.
Not true crime either but it's another binge worthy tv show if you're looking
 
@GloryDays2012 just started my Atlanta Monster binge. It's strange listening to this after recalling this as a news story when i was a kid. I was born in 73 and was about the age of a lot of the kids taken and murdered. Hoping this doesn't get too tin foil hat, but has been an fun listen so far.

I think he let’s some “sources” from the time of murders make some really dubious claims, but otherwise he does a great job of encapsulating Atlanta during the murder spree.

yeah, i want to read his biography mentioned in the series.
Just started listening to "True Crime Garage" it's a podcast by these two guys in Cleveland who drink beer and discuss cases. Still trying to figure out if it's a keeper or not

It’s pretty solid. Some of the cases they cover last for 3 or 4 episodes and get kind of boring. I’ve been listening to it since they started.

I've got three episodes of Manhunt Unabomber left & it's been pretty good. I researched & it seems to be about as factual as it gets. I'll give
it a Rotten Maters 86%
 
So they caught the East Area Rapist/Golden State Killer 40 years after the fact. Crazy.

Crazy story. Patton Oswalt’s Wife died while writing an investigative true crime book about him. Then it was finally published posthumously about 3 months ago, and then they catch him. I haven’t read the book but I’m just gonna guess that it helped a ton. Kind of like The Jinx helped catch Robert Durst

At least they got him. Hopefully he’ll live long enough to become familiar with the taste of a BBC before they put the Jesus juice in his arm...

Well I guess they should’ve just let it go, then.

Plus the whole world now knows he has a micro-peen. That’s gotta count for something.

Nah shouldn’t have let it go. Just hate the whole justice system. Brings on a Gus mindset within my skull. One hand I hate everything about it other hand I recognize a lot is necessary because the system is in need of checks.
 
Got a new binge worthy podcast: In the Dark
It's into the 2nd season...good stuff.
 
Just finished The Staircase. I’m on the fence as to whether or not he did it, but there’s absolutely no doubt he shouldn’t have been found guilty.
 
2nd season of "In the Dark" is good but at times get's a little preachy. No doubt that the guy who's case they're focussing on has and continues to get a raw deal, but the lady comes off a bit strong. just presenting her findings would easily allow the listener to arrive at the conclusion.

have you looked into The Owl theory?

he was definitely a weird dude - not very likeable - but I don’t think he did it... I’ve read stories about financial issues they were having, he hadn’t earned money in a few years and she was about to lose her job, and she had a $1.4 mil or thereabouts life insurance policy, but I haven’t investigated enough to verify any of that

the worst person in the entire series - even if you concede that Michael Peterson is a murderer - was still Kathleen’s bitchasscuntwhore of a sister... that’s the primary takeaway every viewer should have

for fans of the Crimetown podcast, are you listening to The RFK Tapes... it’s made by the same people, and they’re just great storytellers

I don’t expect any huge bombshells or amazing conspiracies to arise, but so far they’re doing a good job of bringing in multiple points of view of people who were involved or affected by RFK’s assassination... they even mixed in an extra episode on some weirdo deathbed confessional of a woman claiming her husband was involved in the JFK assassination... plus the episodes are usually 30 minutes, with 5 minutes of commercials or credits, so you can zip through them

Owl Theory is very compelling. I just can’t wrap my head around how an owl could get into the house, cause all that havoc, and escape again without leaving much more evidence. And if it happened outside, she should have been screaming loud enough for the entire neighborhood to hear.

yeah, seems someone would have heard something because I’d expect it would have had to have happened outside, or just before she entered the house... but then there should have been some signs - blood, hair, other sign of a struggle, outside or in the entrance to the house

the whole thing about investigators finding the blowpoke, hiding it, and then building an entire case around it being the murder weapon should be criminal

by now my eyes have been opened to the point that it didn’t even surprise and only mildly upset me when they talked about it... it wasn’t until later when I stopped and thought - “wait a minute, I’m so desensitized to that type of shit that I didn’t have an immediate, visceral reaction to it?” and THEN it infuriated me
