Crime Addict

OBOMEDIA ENTERTAINMENT

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.

    Father Throws His Daughter's Boyfriend From the Seventh Floor

    Father Throws His Daughter's Boyfriend From the Seventh Floor On January 6, 2012, a sixteen-year-old boy was found on the pavement outside an apartment building in Pergamino, Argentina, having been beaten unconscious before he fell from the seventh floor. The man responsible, the girl's father, was already inside, coordinating a story with multiple witnesses that the boy had jumped. What evidence ultimately proved the truth? In this episode, we analyze the case of Iván Jesús Ortiguera, a football-obsessed teenager whose relationship with a fourteen-year-old girl led to an eight-month campaign of threats from her father, Fabián Núñez. We explore how a coordinated lie was assembled and how forensic science and two eyewitnesses dismantled it. What does this case reveal about the lengths some will go to conceal a crime?
