Murderous

Frederique and Brayden

Murderous is where stories, both resolved and unresolved, rise from the shadows. Each week, we explore a case—some with answers, some still shrouded in mystery. From the ones that have been laid to rest, to the ones that continue to haunt, we uncover the truths that have been forgotten or ignored. In the quiet spaces between fact and doubt, secrets linger. The bones of the past tell stories that never quite fade, no matter how much time has passed. Join us as we step into the world of true crime, where every case leaves behind a trace, and every truth demands to be told.  -- Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/themurderouspodcast Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/MurderousPodcast Inquiries - themurderouspodcast@gmail.com
