Crime Adjacent

Chase Patrick

OK, profilers. Can you solve an unsolvable murder?


Join host and serial killer survivor Chase Patrick live on stage for Crime Adjacent, the world’s biggest true crime podcast. Every week, at shows across the country, Chase reopens the most haunting, enduring mysteries from the grim underbelly of American true crime and challenges you to solve them.


“An atmospheric and immersive podcast where true crime and psychological thrillers intersect.” — Earworthy


From the Zodiac to the Rest Stop Killer, the Michigan Nightstalker to the Cross Country Killer, each episode unfolds like a real investigation — like the whip smart, nerdy love child of Murder, She Wrote and War of the Worlds — and dares you to unravel the mystery and provide justice for those who need it most.


It looks like a true crime podcast. It sounds like a true crime podcast. But what happens when the cosmology of our escapist entertainment looks terrifyingly like our real world? That’s Crime Adjacent. It’s a fully scripted, intimate, locked-room mystery that pulls back the curtain on our social obsession with true crime and what this fascination with humanity’s darkest impulses says about … us.


“Crime Adjacent is redefining the true crime genre.” — Podcasting Today


Crime Adjacent is written and performed by Mike Adamick, a former crime reporter turned contributor for NPR, The New York Times, and McSweeney’s. He uses degrees in sociology and gender studies from UC Berkeley, along with an obsession with criminal profiling, true crime, and Jessica Fletcher, to explore why people commit crimes, why we are enthralled with them, and who, ultimately, pays the price.


So listen closely, profilers. Because with every episode, a new crime is afoot and every detail matters.


It’s not crime. It’s Crime Adjacent. 


New live shows every Wednesday from theaters across America.

    Going fishing

    Deputy Swanson immediately recognized a victim of sextortion when she saw high school senior Emily Willis trudging fearfully through town. The FBI reports that more than 7,000 cases of sextortion happen every year, when blackmailers start up fake relationships with minors to get incriminating materials they can then use to blackmail those minors. Swanson, who had worked with the FBI, recognized the signs and she immediately rushed into action. But she didn't just stop Emily Willis and let her know that help was available. Swanson enlisted the high schooler's help and together, they would take down the cyber criminal who had been menacing the town for the entire year. This is part 22 of the 8th season of Crime Adjacent: the untold story of the Michigan Nightstalker. What happens if your favorite character jumps off the page and starts a podcast?

    Blackmail

    High school senior Emily Willis said her best friend, Dorian Block, was the happiest, most cheerful person she had ever met. They'd known each other since before kindergarten and were about to graduate this year from high school and go on to college together. But one day, in early September 2024, Dorian began acting very, very strangely. Like she was scared of something, or someone. Within hours, Dorian would be dead, and Emily, just a few weeks later, would find herself in the exact same situation. Because it wasn't just something that scared Dorian. It was, indeed, someone. And that someone had now turned his attention to Emily. This is part 21 of the 8th season of Crime Adjacent: the untold story of the Michigan Nightstalker.
