Buried Bodies and Books about Mothers - Interview with Jarrett Ferentino

In this fascinating bonus episode of True CrimeCast, we are joined by homicide prosecutor and author Jarrett Ferentino to dissect one of the most polarizing ethical dilemmas in legal history: The "Buried Bodies" Case. When serial killer Robert Garrow confessed to his attorneys, Frank Armani and Francis Belge, that he had murdered two missing women and hidden their remains, the lawyers did the unthinkable. They used Garrow’s hand-drawn maps to find the bodies, photographed the remains, and then… they stayed silent. For six months, while the victims' families pleaded for answers and searched the woods, the lawyers kept the secret to protect attorney-client privilege. We sit down with Jarrett to discuss his new book, Mothers, Murders, and Motivation, and dive into the "prosecutor’s perspective" on a case that is still required reading in every law school in America.

Little Houdini - Christopher Daniel Gay

Most fugitives run to escape the law, but Christopher Daniel Gay ran to find his way home. Known by the nickname "Little Houdini," Gay didn't commit violent sprees or masterminded conspiracies; instead, he became a national folk hero and a law enforcement nightmare through a series of daring escapes and one of the most bizarre vehicle thefts in history. -- For early, ad free episodes and monthly exclusive bonus content, join our Patreon!

The Shadow of a Ghost - Richard Floyd McCoy Jr.

In the early 1970s, as the "Golden Age of Skyjacking" gripped the American skies, one man didn't just want to pull off a heist—he wanted to outdo a legend. Just months after the mysterious D.B. Cooper vanished into the Pacific Northwest wilderness, Richard Floyd McCoy Jr., a Vietnam veteran, helicopter pilot, and Sunday school teacher, decided to put his own elite training to the test. -- For early, ad free episodes and monthly exclusive bonus content, join our Patreon!

Wrong Ride Home - Austin Burke (Interview with Jamie Sell and Donna Waters)

In 2017, a social media firestorm in Trumbull County, Ohio, turned 18-year-old Austin Burke into the prime suspect in the disappearance and murder of 22-year-old Brandon Sample. What followed was a whirlwind investigation that culminated in a five-day trial where Austin was convicted of both murder and an unrelated pizza shop robbery—despite significant questions surrounding the physical evidence. In this episode, we sit down with Austin’s mother, Jamie Sell, and author Donna Waters (Wrong Ride Home) to dissect a case they argue is a textbook example of a wrongful conviction. We explore the glaring inconsistencies in the prosecution's narrative, including a robbery suspect description that didn't match Austin, a lack of DNA linking him to the crimes, and a timeline that Jamie says she can personally debunk. Wrong Ride Home by Donna Waters is a complex investigation. It takes the reader through the investigation, trial, and where Austin's fight is today.

I've been listening to TCC for a good while now and I recommend it 100%. I'm British, listening in the UK and these gentlemen come from a part of the world I've not yet visited and I love the glimpses of their lives and their homes and their home towns they give to add colour to the true crime stories. Alongside the hosts' genuine friendship and camaraderie I appreciate their respectful approach without sensationalism and importantly the consistent question of whether justice was done - without being overly judgemental. So you get a great story plus some personal analysis and opinion and an interesting discussion. I now feel like John and Jamie are my good friends and I look forward to spending time with them every week.
Amazing show
