What happens when a double homicide case lands in your lap? What if it is the oldest active cold case in the history of American true crime? What if your father held a family secret for fifty years before he confided in you that one of the victims was your great-great uncle and that your grandfather had been held as a suspect? What if the murders happened during the most corrupt era our nation has ever known? And what if you are a retired detective, like me, with the unique skill set needed to figure out an 87-year-old family mystery? Well, you put everything else on hold and set out to solve it. This is my story.
Shattered Souls: The Car Barn Murders is presented by CrimeOnline and iHeartPodcasts.

Customer Reviews
Truly captivating
Listening to these stories underline just how incredibly fortunate (in the terrible aftermath of) these crimes it is to have people like this to speak on behalf of these poor victims. You really feel for these folks who are at times admittedly overwhelmed by their own grief, and yet continue so generously to share their expertise and knowledge to help solve these horrific crimes. Very well done.
Tired Format - presenters lost interest
What used to be a good listen a few years back has now turned into a poorly researched, unenthusiastic and dreary podcast. The show needs a revamp and new presenter with energy and new ideas . So many better pods now available on all the topics covered here . UNSUBCRIBBED
Stipid podcast
