In a coroner’s report, the word “undetermined” is used to describe the cause or manner of death when there’s insufficient evidence to lend a more specific classification. In 2019, Jessica Easterly Durning went missing from her New Orleans home; her body was found days later, just two and a half blocks away. Her death was classified as undetermined, but due to evidence of foul play, her friends and family believe someone played a role in her suspicious disappearance. Investigative journalist Jessica Noll and former Detective Todd McComas dig deep into this unsolved case and search for answers to Jessica’s untimely death. From the team that brought you ‘To Live and Die in LA’ and ‘Culpable’, this is ‘Undetermined’.

While digging through an old memory box, host Thrasher Banks discovers forgotten VHS tapes, police reports, and faded letters regarding a 1995 murder in Dayton, Ohio. Drawn to the connection between this murder and the other seemingly innocuous contents of the box, Thrasher begins an investigation. As he follows the threads, he finds that the 1995 murder may be connected to more than one brutal, unsolved case… Against the backdrop of Ohio in the 1980s and 90s, around the height of satanic panic, this true crime story explores memory, perception, and a personal quest for the truth. Join Thrasher as he unpacks this box and searches for answers about the “Lords of Death."

SOCIETY & CULTURE
Justin Alexander was a survival expert, a full-time vagabond, and the kind of man who could disappear—if he wanted to. But in 2016, after venturing into India’s remote and unforgiving Parvati Valley, he didn’t come back. Led into the Himalayas by a holy man on a so-called spiritual quest, Justin left behind whispers, half-truths, and a cryptic, haunting message: "If I’m not back by mid-September, don’t look for me." Status: Untraced is a gripping journey into the unknown—a search through treacherous landscapes, whispered legends, and truths that refuse to sit still. Because out there in the wild, the line between lost and gone can be razor thin.

I haven't had any issues with sound quality and being able to hear interviews. I really don't get what people are complaining about and I've listened to aaaalot of podcasts. I love the hosts pleasant voices to listen to and they do a great job breaking things down. I also don't understand complaints about stringing listeners along because it's not solved. They're doing what they set out to do and that's to bring attention to this case and hope to help solve this case. Ultimately the burden rests on the shoulders of NOPD. The amount of vital mistakes is unbelievable. Coming around the next morning and poking around near by they would have found the body. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family.
Alright definitely not great

Alright podcast, good sound quality but it probably should’ve been 3-4 episodes or even one long episode compared to 10 episodes because it was so repetitive and the episodes were relatively short compared to other crime podcasts. Honestly, it seemed to me like they thought they had a good case to cover and then came up short when it came to actually having info to justify a full season of a podcast.
