  • TRUE CRIME

I Fear You, Babe is a true crime podcast hosted by Dino Malvone, a New York-based storyteller who believes the most important part of any case isn't the crime — it's the person at the center of it. Every Thursday, Dino goes deep on one case: the victim's life, the investigation, the failures, and the questions that remain. Every Monday, he covers what's moving in the true crime world right now — active trials, new arrests, verdicts, and developments that can't wait for a deep dive. No gore. No sensationalism. No pretending to be a detective. Just careful research, honest storytelling, and a commitment to saying a person's name like it means something — because it does. Before we talk about how they died, we talk about how they lived. New episodes every Monday and Thursday. Subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts.

    27. Weekly Roundup | April 13, 2026 | Rex Heuermann · Lynette Hooker · Ashley Okland · Union Township

    Eight names. Said out loud. In a courtroom. By the man who killed them. On Wednesday, Rex Heuermann stood in Suffolk County Court and pleaded guilty eight times — once for each woman he strangled and dumped along the Long Island coast over seventeen years. Maureen Brainard-Barnes. Melissa Barthelemy. Megan Waterman. Amber Lynn Costello. Jessica Taylor. Sandra Costilla. Valerie Mack. Karen Vergata. Sentencing is June 17th. Their full episode is coming. In the Bahamas, Lynette Hooker — 55, Michigan, a sailor who loved the water her whole life — disappeared from a dinghy on April 5th. Her husband says she fell overboard. Her daughter says nothing about that story adds up. He was arrested this week. No charges. No body. This one is still moving. In Iowa, Ashley Okland was 27 years old when she was shot twice at an open house on April 8th, 2011. This past Wednesday was the fifteenth anniversary of her death. Two days later, Kristin Ramsey stood in a courtroom and pleaded not guilty. Ashley's siblings were in the front row. Trial is January 2027. And last Saturday night in Union Township, New Jersey — one person killed, six injured at a Chick-fil-A. Masked gunmen. Not random. No arrests. No name yet. When there is, we'll be back for them.

    26. Bianca Devins: Everyone Covered Her Murder. Nobody Covered Her Life.

    Bianca Devins was seventeen years old when she was killed in Utica, New York on July 14, 2019. You probably already know how she died. What you probably don't know is who she actually was — the ukulele, the anime art, the YouTube videos she made at eleven where she hated being on camera, the way her grandfather sang "Puff the Magic Dragon" to her and she passed it down to her baby sister. The fact that she had been through depression, anxiety, borderline personality disorder, and PTSD — years of it, in and out of hospitals — and came out the other side with a plan. She was going to study psychology. She was going to help adolescents who had been failed by the same mental health system that had failed her. She was seventeen years old and she had a plan. Every piece of coverage about this case starts with the internet. This one starts with Bianca. Before we talk about how they died, we talk about how they lived.

    25. Weekly Roundup | March 31, 2026 | Sheridan Gorman · Cheryl Henry & Andy Atkinson · Samantha Goolsby · Gilgo Beach

    In Chicago, 18-year-old Loyola University freshman Sheridan Gorman walked to a lakefront beach at midnight with friends to see the city skyline. She whispered that someone was behind the lighthouse. There was one shot. Every segment this week was about politics. This show is about Sheridan. In Houston, a 36-year cold case broke open — the 1990 Lovers Lane murders. Cheryl Henry was 22. Andy Atkinson was 21. They went on a date night and never came home. Their mothers and Andy's father did not live to see this week. In Cookeville, Tennessee, 34-year-old Samantha Goolsby didn't come home Tuesday night. She was found in the woods the next afternoon. Most of the country never heard her name. We said it. And Rex Heuermann — charged with seven Gilgo Beach murders — is expected to plead guilty April 8th. Before we talk about how they died, we talk about how they lived.

    24. Weekly Roundup | March 24, 2026 | The Blood Ritual · Mykryra Clemons · Ashley Okland · Eina Kwon

    This week's roundup covers four cases that all broke in the last seven days. In Altamonte Springs, Florida, two teenage girls — fifteen and fourteen — are sitting in jail charged as adults with attempted murder after allegedly plotting to kill a classmate in a blood ritual to resurrect the Sandy Hook shooter. New footage and unredacted court documents were released this week. In Southaven, Mississippi, twenty-year-old Mykryra Clemons — who had Down syndrome and was nonverbal — was found dead in a bag in a closet in her mother's bedroom. She had been there since January. Court is tomorrow. In West Des Moines, Iowa, a fifteen-year-old cold case finally broke open: Kristin Ramsey was arrested and charged with the 2011 murder of realtor Ashley Okland, who was shot dead during an open house. Ramsey says she's innocent and is already fighting the charges. And in Seattle, a verdict came down Friday in the 2023 killing of Eina Kwon — a pregnant restaurant owner shot at a red light on her way to work. The man who killed her was found not guilty by reason of insanity. Both the prosecution and defense's own experts agreed. Before we talk about how they died, we talk about how they lived.

    23. Skylar Neese: The Girls She Called Her Best Friends

    Skylar Neese was sixteen years old, a 4.0 student, and a girl who wanted to be a criminal defense attorney. On July 6th, 2012, she snuck out of her Star City, West Virginia apartment after midnight to get into a car with two girls she had known for years. She never came home. The case is solved — and the answers are harder to sit with than the questions ever were. This episode goes deeper than the Hulu documentary Friends Like These: the real motive that the doc handled irresponsibly, Skylar’s Law and the legislation her parents fought to pass in her name, and Rachel Shoaf’s June 2026 parole eligibility — live information you can act on right now.

    22. Verdict: Kouri Richins — Guilty on All Five Counts

    The verdict is in. After less than three hours of deliberation, the jury in Park City, Utah found Kouri Richins guilty on all five counts — aggravated murder, attempted aggravated murder, two counts of insurance fraud, and forgery — in the fentanyl poisoning death of her husband Eric Richins in 2022. She faces life in prison without parole. Sentencing is May 13th. His sons were five, seven, and nine when he died. They are eight, ten, and twelve today. This one is for them.

    21. Weekly Roundup | March 16, 2026 | Kouri Richins · Salisha Ali · Dee Warner · Sandra Birchmore · Melodee Buzzard

    EPISODE DESCRIPTION Five cases this week. Closing arguments in the Kouri Richins murder trial are happening today in Park City, Utah — the jury that spent three weeks hearing how a Utah mother allegedly poisoned her husband with fentanyl, wrote a grief book for their kids, and tried to coach a witness from jail is now deciding her fate. In Queens, New York, a 75-year-old man was arrested this week for the murder and dismemberment of his 34-year-old wife Salisha Ali, who had already left him — but was talked into one last visit. In Michigan, Dale Warner was convicted of murdering his wife Dee, whose body was found sealed inside a welded fertilizer tank on their farm three years after she disappeared. In Massachusetts, the federal murder case against former Stoughton police detective Matthew Farwell — accused of grooming Sandra Birchmore from age twelve and killing her at twenty-three — survived a motion to dismiss. And in California, Ashlee Buzzard has a court date in 48 hours to face charges in the death of her nine-year-old daughter Melodee. If she doesn't show up, a judge has warned he will have her extracted from her cell. Before we talk about how they died, we talk about how they lived.

    20. Weekly Roundup | March 12, 2026 | Kouri Richins · Sandra Birchmore · Melodee Buzzard

    Three active cases: the Kouri Richins murder trial in Park City, Utah enters day thirteen — and two bombshells drop in court, including a six-page letter prosecutors say is Kouri coaching a witness, and the revelation that her grief children's book was written by a ghost writer. In Massachusetts, a federal judge denies a motion to dismiss the Matthew Farwell case — the former detective accused of grooming Sandra Birchmore from age twelve and killing her at twenty-three. And in California, Ashlee Buzzard refuses to appear in court for the second time this week to face charges in the death of her nine-year-old daughter, Melodee. Every Monday, this is where we check in on what's moving. Before we talk about how they died, we talk about how they lived. Support the show
