- True Crime
Crimes that are so diabolical that they seem like almost fiction.
Based on real events, Almost Fiction is a Podcast where we try to imagine what it was like when some of the worst crimes occurred. Using facts, reports, and evidence, we attempt to reconstruct what the crime scenes might have looked like as the crimes were happening. So, join us each week as we peek behind the curtain at some of the worst scenes from some of the worst crimes ever committed.
I’m Chase Ellerman, and welcome to… Almost Fiction.

Daniel Lee Siebert
Daniel Lee Siebert becomes another name on our growing list of murderers who were let out of jail, only to kill again.
He also makes another growing list, the list of killers who for some reason had almost unbelievable luck, until… he didn’t.
As always, remember to rate and review so Almost Fiction can continue to grow.

Banita M. Jacks
There’s really not much to say about this week's episode other than it was definitely one of the harder cases I have covered.
By definition, Banita M. Jacks was a mother and that’s about the only positive thing I can say about her, especially after all that she’s done.
