  • The Murders of Malcolm, Elizabeth, and Page Jennings Part 1 (New Hampshire)
    May 2 2024

    When a fire destroyed the home of respected local innkeepers, leaving it in ruins and revealing the horrifying aftermath of a double murder, the close-knit community of Jackson, New Hampshire faced an unthinkable tragedy. As detectives looked into the lives of the victims, they discovered years of conflict caused by the older man their daughter had fallen in love with.

    This story begins in New England, but it ends almost 1500 miles away in Florida with two more deaths. But did it really end? Doubts lingered among some of the original investigators, casting skepticism over the closure of the case and the true fate of the suspect.

    This is part 1 of 2. The Murders of Malcolm, Elizabeth, and Page Jennings, Part 2 will be released on May 9, 2024.

  • The Murders of George and Catherine Peacock (Vermont)
    Apr 25 2024

    When an elderly couple was found murdered inside their Danby, Vermont home in the fall of 1989, it had residents of the small town looking over their shoulders and double-checking their door locks at night.

    State Police identified a suspect early on in the investigation, but the evidence they had against this person was largely circumstantial, and the physical evidence, a single drop of blood, wasn’t enough to point to a suspect. And so, the double murder sat unsolved for over thirty years until 2020, when the case was reopened with the hope that new forensic DNA analysis could finally shine a light on long-concealed answers.

  • The Suspicious Death of Christine Cole (Rhode Island)
    Apr 18 2024

    When a 10-year-old girl didn’t come back from a quick trip to the store on a cold January night in 1988, her family and the Pawtucket, Rhode Island community searching for her feared the worst. Then weeks later when her body was found miles away, those fears were confirmed… and the questions just started stacking up.

    What happened to Christine Cole? Investigators have considered multiple persons of interest and suspects over the last 30-plus years and even made an arrest, but the evidence crumbled as allegations of misconduct rose to the surface.

    • If you have any information about the 1988 unsolved case of Christine Cole in Pawtucket, Rhode Island or the 1988 unsolved murder of Michelle Norris in Central Falls, Rhode Island, please call 1-877-RI-SOLVE.

great true crime podcast obsession

The cases are presented with respect and very little extrernal opinion interjection. You feel connected to the cases by the narration. Well worth the listen or binge

Being from the North East this podcast is great

I was able to binge this entire season so far non stop. I found this on audible too. I found episode 1 to be a great amount of time at around 30 mins . Each episode is at that amount of time. Perfect . Please keep up the great work.

Good stuff. Done with ethics.

My only complaint is how slow the host talks and all the long awkward pauses. If the podcast says 29min it’s only 20min of actual content.

Previous Mainer now Midwestner

I love true crime so I listen to a lot of different podcasts. I found this one and I've never heard of a lot of these stories so I love that. Also, I live in the Brunswick, ME area when I was a kid until I graduated so it brings me back to that time.
