True crime podcasting often forgets that, underneath the gore and sensationalism, there are real people, real families, and real justice waiting to be served.
The Fall Line® is an antidote to that oversight - focused on ethical, deep-dive coverage of missing people, unsolved homicides, and unidentified persons called John and Jane Does.
We present carefully crafted true crime stories, thorough research and in-depth interviews with families, law enforcement, and experts. And we bring calls to action, so engaged true crime listeners can do their part to resolve cold cases.
Join us to learn about victims and survivors you’ve never heard of. . . and why their cases were ignored in the first place.

Unsolved Homicides: Updates In The Case Of Juan Leon Laureles
In 2021, we brought you a then little-known story: the unsolved case of Leon Laureles, a beloved brother and uncle who was murdered on the side of a rural Texas highway. Since then, his case has become a focus for cold-case advocates—especially his own niece, Arlene. At every turn, Arlene has been frustrated in her search for answers, but that hasn’t stopped her. And in the past year, surprising new information has come to light.

Customer Reviews
Exceptional voice for the marginalised
This show shines a light that needs to be shone.
Sensitive and truthful.
My thanks for your compassionate reporting.

Soooo Long-Winded
Episode 1 of the murder of Travis’s Smith was dragged out to the extreme. For example, when the host was talking about Travis’s Twitter posts on the night he was murdered she talked for ages about the difficulty they had in finding his tweets. On and on about how Twitter works, and how hard it was to search through all the tweets by people with the surname Smith. It sounded like she was explaining that they couldn’t provide the tweets for this episode. Then she revealed that Travis’s friend was able to provide them the tweets. And finally she read them out. Like pulling teeth!
Although the host has a pleasant sounding voice, it is a bit monotone. And because she talks so much and barely pauses, I found it started to became exhausting to listen to.
If episode 2 is as drawn out as episode 1 was I’ll have to pass on this pod, sorry.
Dubious Ethics
