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.

David Frank Spanbauer
David Frank Spanbauer could be the poster child for recidivism. A man who never felt bad for what he did, just looked forward, towards a day when he would be able to do whatever he wanted. He already knew he’d be out again, it was just a matter of… time.
