Who Shot Tupac?
Thirty years after Tupac Shakur was gunned down at a Las Vegas stoplight, the first person ever charged in his murder is finally on trial. But with no gun, no DNA, and no living eyewitness willing to identify the shooter, the case hinges on one extraordinary question: did Duane “Keffe D” Davis spend two decades confessing to his role in Tupac’s death, or just selling a story too good to stop telling?

The Real Lizzie Borden Murders
Before you watch the new Netflix series, you need to know the real story. Lizzie Borden’s infamous rhyme says she gave her mother forty whacks, but nearly every word of it is wrong. Now, as Netflix’s new Monsters series tells the story again, we return to the blood-soaked house that launched more than a century of books, films, and theories, all chasing the same impossible question: if Lizzie didn’t do it, who did?

What Happened to the McStays? From 20/20
Today we’re sharing something a little different: it’s the first episode of a new podcast from our friends at ABC Audio and 20/20 called “What Happened to the McStays?” In 2010, in a quiet suburb of San Diego, a family of four seemingly vanished into thin air. When investigators searched their home, they found the family’s two beloved dogs unattended outside, rotting food left around the house and clothes strewn across the floor. The nation was left to wonder: Did the McStays leave of their own accord, or did something more sinister happen?

Introducing “RedHanded”
Today, we are sharing part one of a two-part series from the award-winning true crime podcast RedHanded, hosted by Suruthi Bala and Hannah Maguire. RedHanded is the UK's #1 True Crime podcast, covering everything from high-profile murders and cults to con artists and cultural catastrophes, always asking not just what happened, but why. In part one, Suruthi and Hannah dive into the disturbing case of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, whose dismembered body was found stuffed in the trunk of singer David "D4vd" Burke's Tesla more than four months after she visited his Hollywood Hills home. The story exploded across the internet, and Burke's own fanbase had reason to believe his claims of innocence weren't the full picture. Head over to RedHanded to catch part two, where Hannah and Suruthi cover the arrest and trial of David Burke.

Murder in Redway
How do you murder someone in a small town with no forced entry…and get away with it for a decade? Stephanie Gawboy, a beloved massage therapist, was found shot to death on her own table in Redway, California — deep in Humboldt County's cannabis country — five days after anyone last saw her alive. No broken locks. No signs of a struggle. Just a community full of people who thought they knew her, and one question that still hangs over the town: who was close enough to walk in, and why did they want her dead? If you know anything about the death of Stephanie Gawboy, call the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office tip line at (707) 268-2539, or email us at podcastcrimescene@gmail.com.

The Real Fugitive: Murder of the Fourth of July
On July 4, 1954, a pregnant woman was bludgeoned to death in her Ohio home, and suspicion immediately fell on her husband, a young surgeon who claimed a "bushy-haired" intruder was responsible. The case became a media sensation and later inspired the film The Fugitive. Decades on, the question remains: did Dr. Sam Sheppard get away with murder, or did the system nearly destroy an innocent man?

Where is Kristin Smart?
A 19-year-old Cal Poly freshman leaves a Memorial Day party in 1996 and never makes it back to her dorm. No body, no crime scene – just one last person seen walking beside her in the dark. For nearly 25 years, the case of Kristin Smart went cold — kept alive only by a family that refused to stop asking questions. It took a small-town sheriff willing to break silence and an outsider podcaster methodically knocking on doors to finally crack open what happened that night — and why so many people stayed quiet for so long.

BONUS: Inside the Mind of Rex Heuermann — with Dr. Joni Johnston
On June 17th, Rex Heuermann was sentenced to life in prison without parole — but the verdict only deepens the question at the heart of this case. What kind of man keeps a private "how to get away with murder" playbook and still convinces his wife, his neighbors, and his coworkers he's just an ordinary Long Island dad? In this Crime Scene bonus, forensic psychologist Dr. Joni Johnston joins us to unpack the psychology of the Gilgo Beach killer: how Rex Heuermann compartmentalized two lives for more than a decade, why the people closest to him never saw it, and what the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit will be looking for when they finally sit across from him.

Gilgo Beach Killer
A Long Island architect and family man pleads guilty to killing multiple women — finally putting a name and a face to a case that haunted New York for more than a decade. But as investigators unearth Rex Heuermann's private "how to get away with murder" playbook and the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit prepares to sit across from him, the real chill comes from how carefully he studied the people hunting him, and how many chances those closest to him had to see who he really was before the bodies were ever found.

Hollywood Con Man
He had the trailers. He had the real law-enforcement locations. He had photos of himself grinning beside power players in Washington. The one thing Joseph Medawar didn't have was the show — a patriotic prestige drama about the Department of Homeland Security that he raised millions to produce, and that never aired a single frame. This week, Jonathan and Cooper trace how a B-movie producer in Los Angeles turned a TV series that didn't exist into the most convincing performance of his career — and how long it took the people writing the checks to realize the only thing in production was the con itself.
