  • Aeileen Conway
    Mar 9 2025

    In 1986, Aeileen Conway apparently died in a fiery car accident in Okalahoma. Police ruled it an accident, but very quickly, Aeileen’s husband Pat began to question his wife’s death, and the official findings.

    Join Mike and Morf as they discuss the mysterious death of Aeileen Conway. She was found inside her burning car on a stretch of road out of the way that her husband said they'd never been on. Inside their home, it appeared as though Aeileen left suddenly. But what were the circumstances around it, and was she forced out by an individual or individuals and then murdered?

  • Cary Stayner
    Mar 2 2025

    In last week's episode we discussed the abduction and return of Steven Stayner. This week, we discuss Steven's brother Cary and the path he went down that led to multiple murders.

    Join Mike and Morf as they discuss Cary Stayner. While Steven Stayner went on to become a hero after being abducted as a child and later escaping and saving another boy in the process, Steven’s older brother Cary went on to achieve just the opposite; he became infamous for the callous and cold blooded crimes that he committed, and by the end of this episode, most listeners will probably be asking, how can two brothers turn out so very different?

  • Steven Stayner
    Feb 23 2025

    On December 4th, 1972, 7-year-old Steven Stayner was abducted while walking home from school. Steven's abductor, Kenneth Parnell, manipulated Steven into thinking his family didn't want him and had made Kenneth his guardian.

    Join Mike and Morf as they discuss the infamous abduction of Steven Stayner. Kenneth Parnell was a master manipulator and had previous convictions. He abused Steven for many years, moving around often and changing Steven's name. It wasn't until Parnell abducted another young boy that Steven made the decision, he could not let what happened to him happen to his boy. He got up the courage to take the boy to the police station and both were rescued. The story made headlines.

In Depth Reporting of True Crime

I love the great writing and reporting of this show. Mike F has a great voice for radio (or podcasts) and I really enjoy listening to him. the Mikes have done great research and getting to hear it much more in-depth than can be done on TCATT is great.

wow... just wow

closest a listener can get to being inside the killers mind without actually crawling in there.

LOVE the detail.

not sure if you guys read the comments but one suggestion Morf... you sound like you are reading an 8th grade report sometimes. maybe add a little more personality to your facts... when your interviewing your organic and its fluid and you can tell you're engaged. when going over past crimes or the background you're very monotone and like you don't want to be there.

but really you guys. you do a fabulous job.

Wanted to like it!

After listening to both TCATT and TCATT Unsolved we were very excited to take the deep dive into Criminology, but after ten or so episodes find it really suffers from the lack of repartee between the two hosts. It's like they're reading from scripts from different rooms. I find I'm constantly rewinding because it just does not hold my attention as the other two podcasts do. I plan to push forward as there are 160 + episodes to go and hope somewhere along the line they have managed to improve on what is now a very mediocre presentation. Gibby, you are truly missed!

I just couldn't take it......,

I've tried to listen to this podcast at different times, hoping it got, somehow, better. But episode one is the same as the most recent. Their reading voice is terrible. There's no natural flow to it. It's like every period he comes to is a welcome surprise.
This is NOT my kind of podcast.
