Detective Trapp premieres on November 19th.

Episode 1: Detective Julissa Trapp fights her way onto the homicide unit in her hometown of Anaheim, California — and strives amid personal struggles to understand God’s plan for her. In a nearby city, women begin vanishing.

Episode 2: Detective Trapp finds a young woman’s body at a recycling plant. The investigation leads to the dangerous streets where the victim worked. Is her death connected to the disappearances of three other women?

Episode 3: After weeks of frustration, Anaheim detectives break a murder case wide open —and find it larger and stranger than anyone could have anticipated.

Episode 4: Detective Trapp comes face-to-face with a suspected serial killer during a harrowing 13 1/2-hour interview that tests all her skill and endurance. To win, she must trick her adversary.

Episode 5: A serial killer’s trial does not end the case for Detective Trapp. In its aftermath, she finds herself on a quest all her own.

Christopher Goffard talks with Matthew Shaer, host of Over My Dead Body, about the journey from Dirty John to Detective Trapp.

Here is a sneak peak at the new season of another Los Angeles Times Studios podcast called "Crimes of the Times." In the show, L.A. Times staff writer Christopher Goffard revisits old crimes in Los Angeles and beyond, from the famous to the forgotten, the consequential to the obscure, diving into archives and the memories of those who were there. This new season kicks off with a four part series about how an amateur codebreaker may have cracked the Zodiac killer's infamously complex Z13 code, and how the name it reveals potentially connects the Zodiac killer to another notoriously unsolved California murder: The Black Dahlia.
