Hosts Nic and the Captain invite you to grab a chair, grab a beer and join them as they talk some true crime. This is no ordinary garage: it’s a rabbit hole of true crime, with a generous supply of alcohol and banter to lighten the load. From international atrocities to heinous stories on (US) home turf, dive head-first into a different case each week, and enjoy a cold one whilst your there.
If you consider yourself an armchair detective, you’re in the right place, and you’re amongst friends. For the mystery-seeker, True Crime Garage presents an archive of missing persons, unsolved and cold cases, plus accounts of infamous serial killers and chilling solved cases.

America’s Highway Serial Killers /// Part 2 /// 591
America’s Highway Serial Killers /// Part 2 /// 591
Part 2 of 4
www.TrueCrimeGarage.com
This week we start off by looking at an unsolved homicide of a young woman from California. Twenty two year old Kristin Alice Schmidt’s body was recovered from a State Park in Oregon. She was killed elsewhere and her body dumped and discovered by campers. As we started to look at Kristin’s still very active case investigation we learned that something larger may be at hand. Something so much larger than any one investigation. Something larger than an Oregon state investigation. America has a problem that was first identified back in the 1980’s. In April of 2009 the F.B.I. announced their Highway Serial Killings Initiative to raise awareness among law enforcement agencies and the general public about this issue and the F.B.I.’s offered assistance in these cases.

Murder in the Neighborhood /// Part 2 /// 589
Part 2 of 2
www.TrueCrimeGarage.com
With school and workplace shooters such a hot topic these days, this week we thought we would look back on a mass shooting that took place in the good old days. As you know, we here in the Garage would never claimed to be able to solve some of our nations most devastating problems but we will try to understand them. Better understanding of very important issues can help and lead to creating solutions. Now, we have to remember that the good old days weren’t always good and it certainly was not a good day when Howard Unruh decided to “get even” with some people in the neighborhood. This week in the Garage we try to beat the heat by cracking a few cold ones and talking about murderer so cold that you will have a hard time believing that you had not heard of this guy before.

Part 3 of 3
www.TrueCrimeGarage.com
Bundy, Gacy, and the Green River Killer. All topping the list of some of the most prolific serial killers of all time. But the number of victims taken by each of these monsters is dwarfed by the evil work of another killer. A killer who was so stealthy and cunning that often, not only did we not know who was doing the killing but in some cases they weren’t classified as homicides. This killer of women stayed under the radar for decades, killed dozens, and murdered in multiple states. Join us for this True Crime tale, have a cold one, and listen to this serial killer profile delivered by the Garage Guys.

Customer Reviews
Obsessed.
Never miss an episode! I’ve unfortunately built up a love a good binge listen to certain podcasts (even ones I very much enjoy) but this one I listen to weekly (I will admit that if it’s a four parter I try to save them up so I can listen in succession).
My first True Crime Podcast
The Colonel and the Captain have been my tried and true podcast since the very beginning. They are what got my into podcasts. I have been a True Crime nerd since I can remember and having their show has brought me so much joy. Highly recommend this podcast. You will not be disappointed.
Bad editing
Love this show but lately editing is terrible
