  • UPDATED WEEKLY

CRIMERY is a long-form true crime podcast that goes beyond headlines to examine the people, psychology, and systems behind some of the most disturbing crimes in American history. Each episode is built from original research, police records, court documents, and contemporary reporting — presented with narrative restraint and respect for victims and their families. CRIMERY focuses not just on what happened, but how it was allowed to happen, and why certain cases continue to haunt communities decades later. From unsolved disappearances and cold cases to infamous crimes hidden behind public personas, CRIMERY strips away myth, rumor, and sensationalism to reveal uncomfortable truths — about power, violence, silence, and the cost of looking away. This is not fast crime. This is not speculation disguised as storytelling. These are carefully constructed investigations into crimes that still matter.

    IN COLD BLOOD (PART 3): THE ANSWER

    Send us Fan Mail IN COLD BLOOD PART 3: THE ANSWER — PERRY SMITH’S CONFESSION, THE CLUTTER MURDERS, AND CAPOTE’S DARKEST CHAPTER  In Part 3 of Crimery’s four-part In Cold Blood series, Jennifer Novotney takes you into the section Truman Capote withheld until the book’s emotional breaking point: “Answer.” This is the episode where the 46-day manhunt ends in Las Vegas, Perry Smith and Dick Hickock are arrested, and Perry finally tells Alvin Dewey what happened inside the Clutter house. The script centers on the arrest, the interrogation, the long drive back to Kansas, the full confession, and the literary choices that make this section one of the most studied passages in true crime history.  This episode explores the actual murder account of Herb Clutter, Bonnie Clutter, Nancy Clutter, and Kenyon Clutter, the false promise of the safe that never existed, the split between Dick Hickock’s version and Perry Smith’s version, and why Capote frames Perry’s confession as the emotional center of In Cold Blood. It also breaks down Capote’s technique — the shift into present tense, the dual timeline of confession and memory, and the way he forces readers to sit inside horror rather than observe it from a distance. You’ll also hear why Holcomb’s relief after the arrests was tangled with disbelief, why the “answer” in this section is not closure, and how Part 3 sets up the final chapter of the story: the trial, death row, Capote’s ethical controversies, and the cost of turning murder into literature. If you’re reading along, this is the episode where everything breaks open.

    IN COLD BLOOD (PART 2): PERSONS UNKNOWN

    Send us Fan Mail IN COLD BLOOD (PART 2): PERSONS UNKNOWN — THE CLUTTER MURDERS, ALVIN DEWEY, AND THE HUNT FOR PERRY SMITH  The Clutter family is dead. Holcomb, Kansas is in shock. And for 6 weeks, investigators have nothing: no suspects, no motive, no real leads. In Part 2 of Crimery’s 4-part In Cold Blood series, host Jennifer Novotney follows the story into its most unsettling section: “Persons Unknown.” This is where Truman Capote’s book stops being only about the murders — and starts becoming a study of fear, suspicion, obsession, and the men who did it. This episode explores the horrifying discovery of the Clutter family murders, the collapse of safety in Holcomb, KBI investigator Alvin Dewey’s desperate search for answers, and the 6-week stretch where the killers remained unknown. Then the story turns: a prison tip changes everything, and the hunt for Perry Smith and Dick Hickock begins. But this episode goes deeper than the investigation. It also explores why Capote made Perry Smith the emotional center of In Cold Blood — and why that choice still disturbs readers today. In this episode:  The discovery of the Clutter family murders  Why Holcomb, Kansas stopped trusting itself  Alvin Dewey and the weight of a case with no answers  Floyd Wells, the prison tip, and the break that changed everything  Perry Smith’s childhood, trauma, and the controversy around Capote’s sympathy  Dick Hickock, the planner behind the crime  Why “Persons Unknown” is one of the most psychologically unsettling sections of In Cold BloodIf you’re reading along, this episode covers Part 2: “Persons Unknown” and sets up Part 3: “The Answer.” Host: Jennifer Novotney Show: Crimery Website: crimery.show Buy the "In Cold Blood" here: https://amzn.to/4sCZUj2 KEYWORDS In Cold Blood, Truman Capote, Clutter family murders, Persons Unknown, Perry Smith, Dick Hickock, Alvin Dewey, Holcomb Kansas murders, Herbert Clutter, Nancy Clutter, Kenyon Clutter, Bonnie Clutter, Floyd Wells, true crime podcast, literary true crime, Jennifer Novotney, Crimery Support the show CRIMERY Tip line & inquiries: crimerypod@gmail.com If you found this episode valuable, follow, rate, and review in your podcast app it really helps others find the show.

In this episode of Crimery, host Tim Novotney goes deep into the Cosmo DiNardo case, the murders of Jimi Patrick, Dean Finocchiaro, Tom Meo, and Mark Sturgis, and the terrifying question at the center of it all: was this really just a failed weed deal, or was something much darker happening on that 90-acre family farm?

    Send us Fan Mail KAREN READ: MURDER OR COVER-UP IN CANTON, MASSACHUSETTS A Boston police officer is found face-down in the snow outside a fellow officer's home in Canton, Massachusetts. His name is John O'Keefe. He had been lying there for hours. His girlfriend, Karen Read, was accused of backing into him with her Lexus SUV and leaving him to die in a blizzard. But after two trials, two juries, and years of courtroom battles, the question still hasn't gone away: What really happened to John O'Keefe? In this episode of Crimery, host Tim Novotney breaks down the full Karen Read case — the timeline, the party at 34 Fairview Road, the nor'easter, the injuries, the "hos long to die in cold" Google search at 2:27 AM, the broken taillight evidence, the dog bite theory, Michael Proctor's devastating text messages, and the courtroom collapse that changed everything. This is a deep-dive into one of the most divisive true crime cases in recent American history.

    MAURA MURRAY DISAPPEARANCE: THE 7-MINUTE WINDOW

    Send us Fan Mail MAURA MURRAY DISAPPEARANCE: THE 7-MINUTE WINDOW, ROUTE 112 CRASH, WITNESS A’S SUV, AND THE FINGERPRINT MATCH On February 9, 2004, 21-year-old UMass nursing student Maura Murray crashed her black Saturn sedan on a dark curve on Route 112 in Haverhill, New Hampshire. A local bus driver stopped to help. Maura asked him not to call police. He called 911 anyway. And in the time between that call and the first officer’s arrival, Maura Murray vanished. Seven minutes. No confirmed footprints into the woods.  No confirmed struggle.  No confirmed sightings that night—only contradictions. Inside the Saturn: accident forms, MapQuest directions, personal items, and signs of alcohol.  Missing: Maura’s phone, cards, and backpack. This case became one of the most debated disappearances in American true crime because the evidence points in more than one direction: • A neighbor’s early 911 report that later changed  • “Witness A” reporting an SUV parked nose-to-nose with the Saturn before the official arrival time • A tracking dog following Maura’s scent down the roadway—then stopping, consistent with entering a vehicle • A later report of a fast-moving pedestrian miles away • The delayed response and early “runaway/suicidal” framing that shaped the investigation for years Now, decades later, the case is still active—and a major forensic development has re-focused attention: a fingerprint match tied to an identified individual whose name surfaced years after Maura disappeared. In this episode, host Tim Novotney breaks down Maura’s final days, the minute-by-minute crash timeline, the disputed 7-minute window on Route 112, the key witnesses, investigative missteps, and the evidence that still has not been explained. Verified facts first. And when theory is discussed, it’s clearly labeled. Listen, then decide what you believe happened in the seven minutes no one can account for.

    THE NANCY GUTHRIE DISAPPEARANCE: TAKEN IN THE NIGHT

    Send us Fan Mail TAKEN IN THE NIGHT: THE NANCY GUTHRIE DISAPPEARANCE — MASKED INTRUDER, DOORBELL VIDEO, DNA GLOVE, AND THE $6M BITCOIN RANSOM On January 31, 2026, at 1:47 a.m., the doorbell camera at an isolated desert home outside Tucson, Arizona suddenly went offline. Forty-one minutes later, a masked man wearing gloves, a backpack, and a gun appeared on the front porch. By morning, Nancy Guthrie was gone. Blood was found outside her home. Her phone, wallet, hearing aid, and medication were left behind. Her pacemaker — which tracked her heart activity — stopped communicating with her phone at 2:28 a.m. Nancy Guthrie is not just anyone. She is the mother of NBC Today show host Savannah Guthrie. And her disappearance immediately became one of the most high-profile abduction investigations in America. Then came the ransom demand. Six million dollars. In Bitcoin. But the ransom notes weren’t sent to the family. They were sent to news stations. As investigators searched the desert surrounding her home, they recovered critical evidence — including a black glove matching the suspect’s clothing, containing DNA from an unknown male. FBI analysts are now processing that DNA through CODIS, the national database that could identify the masked intruder. Doorbell footage revealed key details: A masked suspect  A Walmart-sold Ozark Trail backpack  A gun holster  A carefully timed intrusion in complete darkness Seventeen days later, Nancy Guthrie remains missing. No arrests.  No confirmed contact.  Only evidence, questions, and a family waiting for answers. This episode breaks down everything confirmed by law enforcement — including the doorbell footage, the ransom demands, the DNA evidence, and the ongoing FBI investigation. Facts only. No guessing. No rumors. What you’ll hear: • The exact timeline of the night Nancy Guthrie disappeared  • What the doorbell footage revealed about the suspect  • The $6 million Bitcoin ransom demand sent to media outlets  • The glove containing DNA now being analyzed by the FBI  • The mistakes investigators believe the suspect made  • Why this case may be closer to a breakthrough than anyone realizes Hosted by Tim Novotney.

    IDAHO 4 MURDERS: HOW BRYAN KOHBERGER WAS CAUGHT

    Send us Fan Mail On November 13, 2022, four University of Idaho students were murdered inside an off-campus house in Moscow, Idaho. In the days that followed, fear spread across the country as investigators searched for the person responsible. In this episode of Crimery: True Crime Uncovered, we break down how one overlooked mistake—a knife sheath left behind at the crime scene—became the key that unraveled the entire case against Bryan Kohberger. Using court filings, the probable cause affidavit, digital evidence, and investigative records, we trace how law enforcement connected DNA, phone data, surveillance footage, and vehicle movements to identify and arrest a criminal justice graduate student living just miles away. We also examine what happened after the arrest—how the case moved through the courts, why Kohberger ultimately pleaded guilty, and why the most important question remains unanswered: why did he do it? In this episode: What the surviving roommate saw that nightHow the knife sheath changed everythingThe role of cell phone data, cameras, and vehicle trackingHow Bryan Kohberger was identified and arrestedWhy the case ended with a guilty plea instead of a trialThe unanswered questions families still live withContent warning: descriptions of violence involving young adults.
