Trooper's Crime Desk | True Crime & Investigation

Christina (Trooper)

True crime isn’t just about the mystery. It’s about the people whose lives were changed forever, the questions that still echo through small towns and big cities, and the stories that deserve to be told with clarity, compassion, and relentless curiosity. This podcast was created for listeners who want more than headlines. Here, we dig deeper—into the timelines, the evidence, the overlooked details, and the human stories at the center of every case. Each episode is built on careful research, thoughtful storytelling, and a commitment to honoring victims and their families. We explore cases that are unsolved, misunderstood, or lost in the noise. Some are well‑known. Others barely made the news. All of them matter. Whether we’re examining a cold case that’s haunted a community for decades or breaking down a story that never got the attention it deserved, our goal is simple: to bring truth to the surface and keep these stories alive. If you’re drawn to investigative storytelling, if you believe every case deserves a second look, and if you’re ready to follow the facts wherever they lead, you’re in the right place. This is true crime with purpose. This is storytelling with a pulse.

    A Roadside Mystery: Inside the Maura Murray Disappearance

    Maura Murray was 21 years old when she disappeared. A daughter. A sister. A friend. A nursing student with plans, goals, and a life ahead of her. In this episode, I revisit the hours leading up to her disappearance — the strange phone calls, the sudden trip north, the crash, and the silence that followed. For years, theories have overshadowed the person at the center of this case. But Maura wasn’t a headline or a rumor. She was real. And someone out there knows what happened to her. We keep telling her story because she deserves answers — and her family deserves the truth.

    Nineteen & Gone: The Murder of Brittany McGlone

    On May 2, 2007, 19‑year‑old Brittany McGlone was supposed to be getting ready for her shift at Lowe’s in Winnsboro, Texas. Instead, she vanished from a rural home in the middle of the day—leaving behind her purse, her phone, and every trace of the life she was building. What followed was a maze of conflicting stories, delayed investigations, and a community desperate for answers. The Murder of Brittany McGlone digs into the haunting mystery surrounding Brittany’s final known hours. Through interviews, case files, and the voices of those who knew her best, this series unravels the tangled relationships, the suspicious timelines, and the chilling possibilities that have kept this case unsolved for nearly two decades. Why did Brittany disappear from a house where she was supposed to be safe? Who was the last person to see her alive? And how did a promising young woman vanish without a trace in broad daylight? This episode doesn’t just revisit the facts—it challenges them. It exposes the gaps, the overlooked leads, and the lingering questions that still demand answers. Brittany’s story is more than a mystery; it’s a call for justice.
