Anaheim investigator Julissa Trapp is not like other detectives. She’s the only woman on the homicide squad, and a skilled chameleon: undercover cop in vice stings, crime-scene commander, patient confidante of killers. A master interrogator, she invokes her personal experience – and deepest griefs – as a tool to elicit confessions. When a young woman’s body is found at a trash-sorting plant, Trapp learns the murder may be linked to the disappearance of three other women in nearby Santa Ana. Trapp embarks on a dark journey that brings her face to face with a man who takes “a little piece of her soul.” The series is about a singular detective on a relentless, sometimes lonely quest for answers.From the Los Angeles Times and Wondery, “Detective Trapp” is a new story from Christopher Goffard, the writer and host of “Dirty John.”

Customer Reviews
Great listen but the adverts 🤦🏻♀️
Really interesting but hard to keep track of the story because of all the adverts.
Very entertaining

Trapp
While understanding the need for advertising to be able to bring us these incredible stories I found this very interesting podcast over shadowed by the sheer amount of ads. Such an important and informative rare glimpse of the work behind these detectives lives while hunting serial killers . Would have been a higher vote otherwise
