Some cases were closed. Others were just buried.

Crime Night is the podcast that digs into the cases law enforcement left behind — cold cases, unsolved murders, and criminal investigations that never made it to a courtroom. Every episode pulls from court documents, police records, and firsthand reporting to reconstruct what really happened, and why the system failed to find answers.

This isn't true crime as entertainment. It's true crime as accountability. Host Seth approaches each real crime case with the methodology of an investigative journalist — no speculation dressed up as fact, no dramatization for shock value. Just a clear, unflinching look at criminal investigation failures, overlooked evidence, and the people still waiting for justice.

Seth spent years studying criminal justice and has dedicated his work to amplifying cases that deserve a second look. His background gives him the analytical edge to break down complex forensic and procedural details without losing the human story at the center.

Crime Night is built for listeners who are done with surface-level storytelling. If you want real cases examined with depth and integrity — not just a retelling — this show was made for you.

New episodes drop everyday, running between 18 and 25 minutes. Long enough to go deep. Focused enough to keep you locked in.

    The Happy Face That Confessed While Others Paid: The Serial Murder of Kit Jasperson

    A letter signed with a smiling face arrived at newspapers in 1990, confessing to a crime with details that only the killer knew. Meanwhile, two innocent people were serving time for that same homicide. The question that no one could answer: how did the system ignore every confession for four years?

    In this episode, we explore the cascade of institutional failures that allowed a serial killer to remain free while his letters from criminal minds reached police offices. We analyze why the detailed confessions of Kit Jasperson were dismissed, how the forensic evidence in the cases of Tanja Venet, Julie Winningham, and Angela Surprise connects through transcontinental truck routes, and the price paid by dozens of missing women across multiple states.

    Victims: Tanja Venet, Julie Winningham, Angela Surprise, and others
    Date: 1990-1995
    Location: Portland, Oregon; Washington; California; Florida; Nevada; Wyoming
    Status: Convicted, life sentence; two innocents exonerated after 4+ years

    - A confession letter signed with a smiling face contained information about the murder of Tanja Venet that only the perpetrator could know, yet authorities convicted another person.
    - Kit Jasperson confessed to eight homicides in handwritten letters that reached newspapers and police between 1990 and 1995, with verifiable details that were systematically ignored.
    - Two innocents, Lavern Pavlinac and John Sosnovski, served over four years of a life sentence before Kit's written confessions finally exonerated them.
    - Genetic genealogy identified in 2022 and 2023 victims cataloged as overdoses (Patricia Skipper, Susan Kellenberg), revealing a pattern of unconnected cases in California, Florida, and other states.

  • The hands that never killed: the master of coercion

    The hands that never killed: the master of coercion
    Sep 23 2026
    The hands that never killed: the master of coercion: The case of Futoshi Matsunaga

    Neighbors in Kitakyushu heard chainsaws every morning. The smell of cooked liver was so commonplace that no one reported it. An entire family disappeared piece by piece, but the architect of horror never touched a weapon with his own hands.

    In this episode, we explore how a psychological manipulator turned his own victims into executioners. Contradictions between accomplices' confessions, a total absence of forensic remains, and a body disposal protocol taken from a crime fiction book support a case that defies all forensic investigation logic.

    Victim: Ogata family, Kumio Toroya, Kiyomi Toroya
    Date: 1996-1998
    Location: Kitakyushu, Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan
    Status: Sentenced to death (2005, confirmed 2007)

    - Seven people dead executed by other victims under coercion between 1996 and 1998, with the perpetrator never wielding a weapon.
    - No human remains recovered: bodies cooked, liquefied, crushed, and discarded according to a crime fiction book protocol.
    - Apartment sealed with eight locks, windows nailed shut, floor covered in feces; neighbors tolerated nighttime noises and odors without reporting.
    - Electrocution system installed on the soundproof third floor operated by victims, never by Futoshi, leaving a void of direct responsibility without forensic evidence.

    26 Days Under the Net: Emerey's Calvary
    Sep 22 2026
    26 Days Under the Net: The Calvary of Emerey Gerbasi

    A 14-year-old girl disappears barefoot in 5 seconds under rain and 5 degrees. Her electronic ankle monitor is found cut a block away. The police believed she ran away. What followed was a calvary of kidnapping, trafficking, and abuse documented in 12 arrests, a yacht in the harbor, and a criminal network that her father should have uncovered in 26 days while institutions looked the other way.

    In this episode, we explore the sequence of forced transfers from an abandoned house to a container, a trailer, and finally a 17-meter yacht where Emerey was held behind a net. We unravel the roles of 12 defendants, the substances used for control, and the central unanswered question: who alerted the captors just before the police arrived? The defense will attempt to blame a 14-year-old victim for voluntary participation.

    Victim: Emerey Gerbasi
    Date: December 9, 2024 - January 8, 2025
    Location: Suffolk County, New York; Port Islip
    Status: 12 arrested; Harold faces first-degree kidnapping

    - Electronic ankle monitor cut a block from home; disappearance documented on nighttime street camera.
    - Emerey captured on motel cameras knocking on room doors; establishes route of forced transfers between locations.
    - Phoenix yacht, 17 meters, Port Islip: Emerey found behind net after 26 days; criminals fled minutes before police arrival.
    - Komeski, active accomplice who called the father, admitted to transporting Emerey the night before the rescue; crack transaction documented.
