Crime Incident is a true crime podcast about murder investigations and the evidence they actually rest on.

Each Crime Incident episode rebuilds one case from the record: the police investigation as it really unfolded, the forensic evidence and the DNA that held up, the witness testimony that quietly fell apart, and what a jury finally decided. Some cases end in a verdict. Others end in an appeal, an exoneration, or a case file that has stayed open for forty years.

The catalog runs from famous murder trials to disappearances almost nobody covered. A missing person hunted as a suspect while his own body lay one floor above the crime scene. A killer caught by an embossed emblem on an envelope. A confession that arrived decades too late. A DNA profile matched to a phantom who never existed. Murders closed by forensic genetic genealogy, and murders where detectives are still asking for tips today.

Three rules hold in every Crime Incident episode. Confirmed evidence and disputed claims are never blurred together, and you are always told which is which. Victims are treated as people, not as plot devices. And when a case is still unsolved, you get its exact legal status, the reward if there is one, and the number to call.

Crime Incident is true crime for people who want the case file, not the rumor.

  • The Banging Inside the Container: The Todd Kohlhepp Case

    The Banging Inside the Container: The Todd Kohlhepp Case
    Oct 21 2026
    The Banging Inside the Container: The Todd Kohlhepp Case

    On November 3, 2016, deputies searching a fenced 96 acre property near Woodruff, South Carolina, heard banging from inside a locked metal shipping container. They cut five padlocks and found Kala Brown, chained by the neck, alive after 65 days. The land belonged to a successful real estate broker named Todd Kohlhepp. How did a registered sex offender build a brokerage, buy nearly a hundred acres, and kill seven people across 13 years without anyone noticing? And how did the woman he chained in that box end up solving Spartanburg County's most infamous cold case?

    In this episode, we tell the Todd Kohlhepp story in reverse: from the rescue of Kala Brown back through the murder of Charlie Carver, the killings of Johnny and Meagan Coxie, the chilling Amazon reviews he posted while their bodies lay buried on his land, the unsolved 2003 Superbike Motorsports massacre in Chesnee that he confessed to with details only the killer would know, and all the way back to Arizona in 1986, when a 15 year old Kohlhepp kidnapped and raped a 14 year old neighbor and served 14 years in prison.

    Person: Todd Christopher Kohlhepp; seven confirmed victims across 2003 and 2015 to 2016
    Date: November 6, 2003 and December 2015 to November 3, 2016
    Location: Chesnee and Woodruff, Spartanburg County, South Carolina
    Case: Serial murder, kidnapping, and criminal sexual conduct; survivor rescued from a shipping container
    Legal status: Pleaded guilty May 26, 2017 to seven murders and related charges; seven consecutive life terms plus 60 years, no parole, appeal rights waived; a 2025 investigation exposed his attempts to sell merchandise and autographs from prison

    - The rescue: cellphone pings, five padlocks, and a survivor who started solving murders
    - The Superbike massacre: four victims and 13 years without answers
    - The Amazon reviews: a confession hiding in plain sight
    - Why prosecutors took the death penalty off the table
    - Kala Brown's agency: the survivor a victim's widow called "the real hero"

    The Todd Kohlhepp case shows how a serial killer hid behind success, and how one survivor ended it.

  • He Told Tourists He Was a New York Times Reporter: The Christian Longo Case

    He Told Tourists He Was a New York Times Reporter: The Christian Longo Case
    Oct 19 2026
    He Told Tourists He Was a New York Times Reporter: The Christian Longo Case

    In nine days of December 2001, divers on the Oregon coast recovered four bodies from the water: MaryJane Longo, 34, and her children Zachery, 4, Sadie, 3, and Madison, 2. While they searched, husband and father Christian Longo was in a cabana in Tulum, Mexico, on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list, introducing himself to strangers as Michael Finkel of The New York Times, a real journalist who had just been fired for fabricating a story. How does a Starbucks employee drowning in fraud end up impersonating a disgraced reporter on a Mexican beach?

    In this episode, we follow the counterfeit life of Christian Longo from a Kingdom Hall parking lot in Michigan to an upscale condo on Yaquina Bay he could never afford: the forged checks and stolen trailers, the congregation that shunned him, the pawned wedding ring, the twelve-hundred-dollar rent that equaled his entire monthly pay, and the mid-December night when the performance ran out of money. Then the strangest chapter in modern true crime: the real Michael Finkel writing to the man who stole his name, a correspondence that became the book and film True Story, and a trial where Longo tried to hand his own crime to his murdered wife.

    Person: MaryJane Longo, 34; Zachery, 4; Sadie, 3; Madison, 2
    Date: Mid-December 2001, bodies recovered December 19 to 27, 2001
    Location: Newport and Waldport, Lincoln County, Oregon
    Case: Family murder; suitcases in Yaquina Bay, children in Lint Slough
    Legal status: Longo pleaded guilty to two murders and was convicted of the other two in April 2003 and sentenced to death; in December 2022 Oregon commuted all 17 death row sentences, and he now serves life without the possibility of parole

    - The fraud spiral that funded a picture-perfect image
    - Nine days of divers during Christmas week in a small coastal town
    - The Tulum arrest, 80 miles south of Cancun, in January 2002
    - The Finkel letters: two fabricators studying each other
    - The 2022 commutation and a family's second wound

    The Christian Longo case is the story of an impostor whose last stolen identity made him famous, and of the four real people he erased.

  • He Wrote the Threats Himself: The Chris Coleman Case

    He Wrote the Threats Himself: The Chris Coleman Case
    Oct 18 2026
    He Wrote the Threats Himself: The Chris Coleman Case

    On May 5, 2009, the chief of security for Joyce Meyer Ministries called his next-door neighbor, a police detective, and asked him to check on his family in Columbia, Illinois. Inside the house, Sheri Coleman, 31, and her sons Garett, 11, and Gavin, 9, had been strangled in their beds, with messages spray-painted on the walls. For six months, threatening emails and letters had warned that the Coleman family would pay. Then investigators traced the threats to Chris Coleman's own laptop.

    In this episode, we follow the Chris Coleman case from the first threatening email in November 2008 through the countdown of letters and notes that put a police surveillance camera on the family's own house, to the morning Detective Justin Barlow climbed through a window and found the scene his neighbor had asked him to discover. We unpack the secret affair with Tara Lintz, the divorce papers promised for the exact date of the murders, Dr. Michael Baden's time-of-death testimony that destroyed the gym alibi, the handwriting that matched the walls, and the photographs in the jury room that convinced four holdout jurors.

    Person: Sheri Coleman, 31, and sons Garett, 11, and Gavin, 9
    Date: May 5, 2009
    Location: Columbia, Illinois
    Case: Triple murder by ligature strangulation; staged stalker threat campaign
    Legal status: Chris Coleman convicted on May 5, 2011, the second anniversary of the murders, and sentenced to three life terms without parole; appeals rejected in 2015, 2020, and 2023; he is imprisoned at Dodge Correctional Institution in Waupun, Wisconsin

    - The six-month threat campaign traced to the killer's own computer
    - A $100,000 job, a morality expectation, and murder as an accounting decision
    - The neighbor-detective chosen as his own first responder
    - The cellphone route, the I-255 search, and the missing weapon
    - The October 2008 photos that ended the jury's deliberation
    - The 2012 exhumation that moved Sheri and her boys away from the Coleman name

    The Chris Coleman case remains one of the clearest documented examples of a staged threat campaign preceding family homicide, and the warning signs Sheri voiced to her friends still echo.
