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.

  • 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.

  • The Killer's Name Was on the Collar: The David Camm Case

    The Killer's Name Was on the Collar: The David Camm Case
    Oct 16 2026
    The Killer's Name Was on the Collar: The David Camm Case

    On September 28, 2000, former Indiana state trooper David Camm came home from a church basketball game and found his wife Kim, 35, and their children Bradley, 7, and Jill, 5, shot to death in the garage of their Georgetown, Indiana home. Three days later, the police he had called for help arrested him. Why did investigators decide in 72 hours that the grieving father was the killer? How did an unqualified "expert" with no bloodstain training put an innocent man in handcuffs? And how did a gray prison sweatshirt, lying under a murdered child with the real killer's nickname written on the collar, sit ignored in the evidence system for more than four years?

    In this episode, we tell the Camm case twice: first as the State of Indiana built it, through two convictions, a parade of affair testimony, and a molestation theory the Indiana Supreme Court found had no competent evidence behind it; then as the evidence dismantled it, from the eight pinhead-sized bloodstains that were transfer, not spatter, to the phone record broken by a time zone error, to the DNA that finally matched paroled predator Charles Boney, whose signature of stolen shoes was staged on the roof of the family Bronco all along.

    Person: Kim Camm, 35; Bradley Camm, 7; Jill Camm, 5
    Date: September 28, 2000
    Location: Georgetown, Indiana
    Case: Triple murder; wrongful prosecution of David Camm
    Legal status: Camm acquitted of all counts on October 24, 2013 after 13 years and three trials; Charles Boney convicted in 2006 and serving 225 years; the State of Indiana paid Camm a $4.6 million settlement in 2022

    - The 72-hour rush to arrest and the "expert" who was really a photographer
    - Eleven alibi witnesses, a shifting time of death, and four rotating motive theories
    - The BACKBONE sweatshirt, the palm print, and the touch DNA on the victims' clothes
    - The prosecutor who had once represented the real killer
    - What tunnel vision cost: 13 years, two families, and millions paid twice

    The David Camm case is now a national warning about bloodstain-pattern analysis, and about what happens when the decision comes before the evidence.
