True crime podcasting often forgets that, underneath the gore and sensationalism, there are real people, real families, and real justice waiting to be served. 
The Fall Line® is an antidote to that oversight — focused on ethical, deep-dive coverage of missing people, unsolved homicides, and unidentified persons called John and Jane Does. 
We present carefully crafted true crime stories, thorough research and in-depth interviews with families, law enforcement, and experts. And we bring calls to action, so engaged true crime listeners can do their part to resolve cold cases.
Join us to learn about victims and survivors you’ve never heard of. . . and why their cases were ignored in the first place.

    Missing Persons Day: Disappeared & Unidentified

    Missing Persons Day: Disappeared & Unidentified

    Across the country, medicolegal officials have begun to organize “Missing Persons Day” events to help families submit new cases or add to old case files, in hopes of both finding the missing and identified Doe victims; we speak to the organizers of a brand-new event in Dekalb County, GA, where a new grant has made advanced DNA testing possible, and the founder of long-running Missing in Michigan about how officials can better serve families of the missing and close more cold cases.

This podcast is outstanding

I am obsessed with all things true crime and my favorite thing is when the research dives so deep you’re going to find all the juicy details here with the fall line. Amazing research, community outreach, and STANDING UP FOR THE MARGINALIZED VICTIMS. 10/10

arleneharbison ,

The best podcast

Thank you for bringing awareness to so many cold case that have been forgotten! Their families still miss their loved ones and having no one being held accountable just deepens the pain.

BumbL-B ,

Millbrook Twins

Thanks so much for bringing life back to this sad and disheartening disappearance of these beautiful twin teenage girls. Sad , that their county does see the value in their lives or investigation and so thanks to your podcast and the two (Laura Coates and Page) detectives/prosecutors that thought enough to get this disappearance looked at again.
