The Fall Line: True Crime

TFL x OST

True crime podcasting often forgets that, underneath the gore and sensationalism, there are real people, real families, and real justice waiting to be served. The Fall Line® is an investigative podcast focusing on ethical, deep-dive coverage of cold cases involving missing people, unsolved homicides, and unidentified persons called John and Jane Does. Through intensive research and in-depth interviews with families, law enforcement, victim advocates, and experts, we tell the stories of victims and survivors you've never heard of and explore why their cases were ignored in the first place.

    Missing Twice: No Body Homicides

    Forensic anthropologists Dr. Amy Michael and Dr. Jen Bengtson reveal a critical gap in missing-persons databases and unidentified-remains cases. No-body homicide victims—those identified as murdered, but without recovered remains—may not appear in forensic identification databases, creating problems for cold-case investigations and forensic anthropology work. Their research examines how missing persons cases, forensic databases, and unidentified human-remains investigations may be disconnected, which can in turn affect victim identification efforts nationwide. Season 24 of The Fall Line covers missing persons, unsolved homicides, and unresolved deaths across the United States.

    Lonely Morning Hours: The Death of Shawna Toya

    Jemez Pueblo artist Shawna Toya was found unresponsive in her car at an Albuquerque, New Mexico park on August 1, 2021, and was pronounced dead at the scene. Her family discovered evidence—another person's ID in Shawna's vehicle, missing rent money, and undocumented trauma on her body—that they believe warrants further investigation. Our coverage features interviews with Shawna's mother, renowned traditional potter Geraldine Toya, and MMIWR/MMIP advocate and lawyer Darlene Gomez as the family continues seeking answers about her death. Season 24 of The Fall Line covers missing persons, unsolved homicides, and unresolved deaths across the United States. If you have any information that you feel could aid in a reinvestigation of Shawna Toya's death and the circumstances surrounding it: reach out to Darlene Gomez at the Law Offices of Darlene Gomez https://dargomezlaw.com or the Albuquerque Police Department at 505-843-STOP.
