Proof: A True Crime Podcast is a serialized investigation into cases of potential wrongful conviction. Hosted by Susan Simpson of the Undisclosed Podcast and Jacinda Davis of TV’s Evil Lives Here, Proof unravels the tangled and competing demands of the legal system, police practices, truth, guilt and innocence.
Season 2: The second season of Proof: Murder at the Warehouse takes Susan Simpson and Jacinda Davis to Manteca, CA where they reinvestigate the murder of 18-year-old Renee Ramos. On June 5, 2000, Ramos’ body was found buried under a pile of debris inside the shell of a new Home Depot building. Despite tips hinting at alternate suspects - tips that were ignored until now - Renee’s boyfriend, 18-year-old skateboarder Jake Silva, and Ty Lopes, the 33-year-old uncle of one of Jake's close friends were arrested for her murder. The questionable testimony of a 14-year-old boy was the key evidence used to convict them both to life in prison.
Twenty-three years after Renee Ramos was murdered, Jake Silva remains in prison and maintains he is innocent. In season two of Proof: MURDER AT THE WAREHOUSE, Susan and Jacinda travel the streets of Manteca, reinvestigating the case against Jake and Ty – and in the process uncover long-overlooked evidence about what really happened to Renee
Season 1: In season one of Proof: RUSSIAN ROULETTE Susan Simpson and Jacinda Davis reinvestigate the murder of Brian Bowling.
On an October night in 1996, a gunshot rattles the walls of a double-wide trailer on the outskirts of Rome, Georgia. 15-year-old Brian Bowling is laying on the floor of his room, head bleeding from a gunshot wound. By the next morning, Brian is dead. Investigators quickly conclude that Brian’s wound was self-inflicted, the tragic result of teenage bravado. And yet within six months, two friends are arrested and accused of plotting to kill Brian. Cain Joshua Story and Darrell Lee Clark are convicted and sentenced to life in prison. An evil teenage plot? A horrible tragic accident? Or, a blatant miscarriage of justice? In this first season of PROOF, Susan and Jacinda drive the back roads of Rome, searching for the truth.

About as good as it gets

As a listener, the two seasons have been everything anyone can ask for. 100% full investment by the crew, no stone left unturned, well presented cases and results. As someone who understands the work involved to make something like this, it’s even more amazing. An artist, author or chef picks their ingredients, colors, mediums, etc and builds from the bottom up. Investigative true crime is like sculpting in soft stone. They chisel away, not really knowing what’s underneath, hoping to find the truth within, but without any guarantee…one wrong move could ruin the piece. The level of relationship, product and legal management/maneuvering that a story like this takes to do well is astounding. Well done.

Proof that hard work pays off!

Anyone who grew up in a small town can understand how cases like these can hit close to home! It could have been anyone who had been locked up in a case like this! Proof, all of you involved are angels that these kids, now men, were blessed to have take on there cases! Excellent podcast!

Season 1 Was WAY Too Long

Okay, I just finished listening to season 1 this morning while getting ready for work &, whew, it was WAY too long!! It took me FOREVER to get through it!! It didn’t need to be THAT long; it was a total of 34 (yes, 34!) episodes long!! Even normal TV show seasons (before COVID 😒) weren’t THAT long!! WAY too many “Bonus” episodes were added that could have just been part of the main episodes, honestly! And all the ads only made them seem even longer (thankfully, I could skip through them otherwise I’d have given up on this series a LONG time ago)!! I’m not kidding some of the ad breaks were like 2 minutes long & there was MORE than one break, including in the “Bonus/Sidebar” episodes! It’s like why pay a subscription for the bonus content if they are just include ads EVEN in the bonus content, too … !! 😒 Now, normally, I don’t mind Bonus Episodes; in fact, I usually love more content from podcasts I like, but this was just too many & didn’t offer too much more to the main story. Also, at one point, in the bonus content the podcasters just went off on a useless tangent that had NOTHING to do with the main story & in another bonus episode, they just started talking about a totally different “crime update” that had NOTHING to do with the crime that the story IS really about!! Like what?! Why are you c confusing me by talking about ANOTHER crime that has LITERALLY nothing to do with this one?!?! 😒 Also, almost all the interviews/court proceedings had really bad audio & was really hard to understand what anyone was saying; I had turned the volume up on most of the interviews just to try to understand what they were saying … And then, all the ads were also REALLY loud, too … 😒 Anyway, I ended up giving the show 3 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️ because, in the end, I liked it! It had a happy ending! 😀 But it was just too long, still … Also, I’m left wondering if anyone offered the deaf man (I’m sorry, I forgot his name) proper adult ASL (American sign language) classes; I know that in some places there’re offered for free (if not online) & it just broke my heart that he was never taught proper ASL so he could communicate with the deaf community now that he’s an adult. He has the right to refuse it of course, but I’m wondering if it was ever offer to him in the first place; it was never addressed in the podcast … 🥺 Don’t know if I’ll listen to Season 2 or not, especially if it’s gonna be as drawn out as Season 1 … Maybe I’ll take a little break until I start on S2! 😅
