Crime Story

In the winter of 2002, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency received an anonymous tip: somebody had seen bones on a property in Noble, Georgia, and they thought they might be human. 

Eventually, a police investigation would unearth the remains of more than 300 people.

In a different kind of story, this property might belong to America’s most prolific serial killer. But none of these people were murdered – they had been sent there to be cremated. 

In his podcast Noble, Shaun Raviv tries to understand what happened more than two decades ago at Tri State Crematory and wrestles with the question: what do the living owe the dead?

339 bodies in the woods: the Noble crematory story

In 2012, Edmonton police released audio of Amber Tuccaro, a young woman from Mikisew Cree First Nation who went missing a year and a half earlier. On the tape, you hear Amber speaking to someone as they drive. And even more eerie, you hear the voice of the man that most people believe murdered her. 

Reporter Jana Pruden joins Crime Story to discuss why hearing that haunting tape drove her to investigate Amber’s story.

The voice of a killer? What a taped call says about Amber Tuccaro's disappearance.

For more than three decades, Peter Walaschek has been on the run. In the late 1980’s, during the Iran-Iraq war, Walaschek admitted to selling illegal chemicals used to make mustard gas to the Iranian regime. But he wasn’t a professional weapons dealer or a career criminal. He was a pharmacist who happened to really hate his office job. 

Reporter Chloe Hadjimatheou joins Crime Story to explain what it was like sitting across from the international fugitive, and how, Walaschek says, he went from working in a pharmacy in Germany to visiting the battlefields of Iran.

Crime Story will be back in the new year with brand new episodes. To keep you company over the holidays, we're bringing you episode one of Bad Results.

They needed certainty. They got chaos. For over a decade, countless people from at least five different countries put their trust in a company offering prenatal paternity tests. It promised clients “99.9% accuracy” — but then routinely, for over a decade, identified the wrong biological fathers.

Investigative journalists Jorge Barrera and Rachel Houlihan track down the people whose lives were torn apart by these bad results, the shattered families and acrimonious court cases that followed, and the story behind the company that continues to stand by its testing and is still operating today.

More episodes of Bad Results are available here.

Audience Favourite | In Her Defence: When the accused is also a victim

Amy, a seasoned doula, is bedridden due to illness when she receives a call from fellow doula Katie to assist a client, Kaitlyn, over the phone. Kaitlyn is pregnant as a result of sexual assault and has just learned her baby will be stillborn. Over the next 10 days, Amy and Katie are swept into Kaitlyn's escalating crises — bleeding disorders, a hysterectomy, cancer, and seemingly predatory doctors — while supporting her emotionally, over the phone. Despite exhaustion and their own trauma, they unquestioningly focus on Kaitlyn's needs. However, when Amy’s girlfriend points out strange details in Kaitlyn's story, alarm bells ring. A dog barks during a call where Kaitlyn claims she’s in the hospital, and photos Kaitlyn sent of her stillborn are traced back to Wikipedia. Something isn't right.

Content warning: This episode contains references to medical emergencies, including baby loss. We also deal with sexual assault and there is some strong language.

The Con: Kaitlyn's Baby | Episode 1

There is no shortage of scam artists, catfishers, and grifters in true crime.

Usually, they’re looking for money, sex, or fame.

But Kaitlyn Braun was a different kind of con artist all together.

Over the course of two years, Braun tricked more than 50 birthworkers into thinking she was pregnant. She’d take them on wild, unpredictable rides through traumatic pregnancies (and births) that turned out to be completely fabricated.

In The Con: Kaitlyn’s Baby, journalist Sarah Treleaven (Madness of Two, Unrestorable) tries to figure out what could possibly lead someone to do something like this.

An unmarked grave, a missing woman and a family’s secret ties

When Derrick Johnson was a toddler, he was diagnosed with cerebral palsy. He never developed the ability to speak. Instead, he would communicate with his eyes and his hands, and his family would do their best to interpret his gestures.

That was until they met a Rutgers professor named Anna Stubblefield.

Anna thought that with the right technique and coaching Derrick could learn to say exactly what was on his mind.

But what began as an attempt to expand Derek's horizons quickly turned into a nightmare. One that ended with Derrick’s family accusing Anna of sexual assault.

In his documentary Tell Them You Love Me, director Nick August Perna explores Anna and Derrick’s relationship – and the complicated questions it forces us to confront.

Unconventional romance or sexual assault? A complicated story of consent.

Debra Newell was ready to give up on love. By the fall of 2014, she’d been married and divorced four times and was reeling from a string of bad dates. But then she met John Meehan, and it seemed like her luck was finally changing. Meehan was a handsome doctor who doted on Newell. She fell in love almost immediately. Two months later, they were married.

But Newell would eventually discover that Meehan wasn’t a charming doctor at all – he was a serial con artist with a violent past. Los Angeles Times reporter Christopher Goffard joins Crime Story to take us behind the scenes of Dirty John, one of the most popular true crime podcasts of all time.
