Crime Addict

Creator at Obomedia

Crime Addict — true crime stories for listeners who can't let go of a case. A true crime podcast by OBOMEDIA, built on real events. Every true crime story in our archive begins with a question no one could answer: an unsolved murder, a cold case reopened decades later, a mysterious death the coroner couldn't explain, a disappearance that never made sense. Open the crime files with us. Each episode follows the crime investigation from the first call to the trial — how investigators build a murder case, where a police investigation goes cold, and what justice looks like when it arrives late, or never arrives at all. Some episodes hunt a serial killer who hid in plain sight. Others reconstruct a family murder that tore a town apart, or a murder mystery that turned neighbors against each other. And then there are the missing: a missing person report filed too late; missing persons whose trails went cold within days; a missing woman last seen leaving work; a missing girl whose face was on every screen in the country; a missing man found dead years after he vanished; the missing and murdered whose names deserve to be remembered. We tell every crime story with respect for the victim, for the families, and for those who survived. From the infamous case the whole world watched to the unsolved case you have never heard of, from classic true crime to dark true crime and disturbing true crime, our true crime reports bring you real crime stories, real murder cases, true murder stories and unsolved mysteries — one true crime case at a time, straight from the OBOMEDIA true crime vault. Because if a killer is still out there, the story is not over. New episodes every week.

    Eight Family Members Shot in Their Sleep — All for Custody of One Child

    Eight Family Members Shot in Their Sleep — All for Custody of One Child A woman arriving to feed the animals found two men dead in a Pike County trailer, and by afternoon investigators had counted eight members of the Roden family shot across three locations in a single night. Every child was left alive and nothing of value was taken. What kind of motive spares the children but erases everyone else? In this episode, we analyze the 2016 Pike County massacre and the two-year investigation that finally exposed the Wagner family. We examine why the drug-related theories collapsed, the weapons cut up and buried in concrete behind a pond, and the chilling truth that eight people died over a custody dispute. How does a family court problem turn into a coordinated mass murder? Case: Pike County (Roden family) massacre Date: April 22, 2016 Location: Union Hill Road, Pike County, Ohio Victims: Eight members of the Roden family Perpetrators: The Wagner family (Jake, George IV, Angela, George III) - Eight members of the Roden family were shot, most in the head while they slept, across three separate trailers in one night; three children, including a four-day-old baby, were left unharmed. - Investigators spent two years and ruled out drug-related motives before naming the Wagner family, who had briefly relocated to Alaska. - The real motive was custody: Jake Wagner believed killing Hann Roden, the 19-year-old mother of his daughter Sofi, and her family was the only way to gain permanent custody. - Jake Wagner's cooperation led police to firearms and a truck cut apart, burned, and encased in concrete behind the family pond, with ballistics matching the crime scenes. - Jake Wagner received eight consecutive life sentences, George Wagner IV got life plus 121 years, Angela Wagner 30 years for cooperating, and George Wagner III still awaited trial.

    His Own Smartwatch Recorded the Hours She Let Him Die

    His Own Smartwatch Recorded the Hours She Let Him Die A neighbor's security camera caught a woman's voice in a Tampa backyard before dawn — "Stay down," "So die," "I hate you" — and the sound of breaking glass. Matthew Trusler lay bleeding by the pool, yet no one called 911 for nearly four hours. How did the watch on his wrist end up measuring exactly how long he was left to die? In this episode, we analyze the death of Matthew Trusler and the trial of his girlfriend, Melissa Rose Turner. We examine the surveillance audio, the smartwatch heart-rate data that exposed the four-hour silence, Melissa's shifting accounts, and the self-defense claim a jury ultimately rejected. What does the gap between his last recorded heartbeat and that 911 call reveal about intent? Victim: Matthew Trusler Age: 25 years old Date: January 18, 2019 Location: Tampa, Florida Perpetrator: Melissa Rose Turner Outcome: Convicted of second-degree murder, sentenced to 20 years and 5 months - A neighbor's security camera, angled past the fence, recorded a woman's voice saying "Stay down" and "So die" at 4:31 a.m., with a faint male voice beneath it. - Matthew Trusler was found face-up near the pool with cuts to his arm and chest and a pool of blood beneath him. - Matthew's smartwatch kept tracking his heart rate, and cross-referenced with the camera's timestamp it showed roughly four hours passed before Melissa called 911. - Melissa first told police she did not know what happened, then later claimed she stabbed Matthew once in the back to escape a chokehold — a strangulation no physical evidence supported. - On February 18, 2022, a jury found Melissa Rose Turner guilty of second-degree murder, and she was sentenced to twenty years and five months in prison.

    Priest Hears Her Last Confession, Then Walks Free for 57 Years

    Priest Hears Her Last Confession, Then Walks Free for 57 Years On Holy Saturday in 1960, a devout young schoolteacher walked into her church in the rain to confess before Easter and was never seen alive again. Five days later her body surfaced in an irrigation canal, still dressed in the clothes she wore to Mass. Why did everyone who knew the truth choose silence for more than half a century? In this episode, we analyze the murder of Irene Garza and the institutional cover-up that shielded her killer. We examine the physical evidence that pointed to the priest who heard confessions that night, the nearly identical attack twenty days earlier, and the decades Father John Bernard Feit spent in positions of authority before a jury finally convicted him. How does a system look directly at an answer and choose to look away? Victim: Irene Garza Age: 25 years old Date: April 16, 1960 Location: McAllen, Texas Perpetrator: Father John Bernard Feit Outcome: Convicted of murder in 2017 - Irene Garza, a 25-year-old schoolteacher and devout Catholic, disappeared after going to confession at Sacred Heart Church on Holy Saturday, April 16, 1960. - Her body was found five days later in an irrigation canal, still wearing the same clothes she had left home in, several kilometers from the church. - Father John Bernard Feit, the 27-year-old priest who heard confessions that night, had fresh scratches on the backs of his hands and forearms, consistent with a struggle rather than climbing a wall as he claimed. - Twenty days earlier, Feit had been identified in a nearly identical attack on another young woman, María América Guerra, at a church about sixteen kilometers away. - In 1962 the district attorney privately admitted Feit was the killer but allowed the Church to transfer him to a monastery; Feit was not convicted of Garza's murder until 2017, fifty-seven years later.
