PRESS PLAY
Corpus Delicti is a true crime show for listeners who like their cases told in full, not trimmed down to a neat headline. Its recent episodes move through disappearances, delayed arrests, wrongful conviction arguments, and high-profile murder investigations with a conversational but document-minded rhythm. The Stranger Than Fiction run gives the show a clear lane: stories that feel almost invented until the evidence starts stacking up. The Jamison family episode centers on a truck, cash, phones, a GPS, an unresolved search area, and the absence of an obvious explanation. The Sherri Rasmussen two-parter follows a case where early investigative choices, missing records, DNA, appeal arguments, and LAPD connections all become part of the story. It is procedural, but not dry. Short reactions break up long timelines, and the speakers often pause to point out why a small detail matters. Other episodes widen the range. The Thabo Bester case brings in unstable identity records and an ongoing, recent set of events. The Sarma Melngailis installment tracks manipulation, secrecy, fake credentials, money, and the emotional leverage of a dog. Road to Redemption shifts the frame toward Robin "Rocky" Myers, using interview material to examine juror assumptions, trust in police, and the weight of a conviction on the person living inside it. The High Profile coverage of Laci and Conner Peterson shows the show's appetite for dense chronology, including relationships, timelines, and the arrival of details such as Scott's boat. Corpus Delicti is at its best when a case keeps producing new questions. It notices missing transcripts, unexplained evidence gaps, odd behavior, and legal arguments that may not change the outcome but still change how the story feels. The tone is accessible and familiar, with recurring series labels giving listeners a way to know what kind of case they are entering. It does not flatten victims into plot points. The show keeps returning to families, investigators, jurors, defendants, and the lasting consequences of decisions made early in a case.
Made for: For true crime listeners who prefer multi-part case work, courtroom context, and investigative loose ends over quick summaries. It especially suits listeners who follow wrongful conviction issues, delayed evidence, and cases with complicated timelines.
What sets it apart: Corpus Delicti pairs casual, familiar narration with a strong appetite for records, sequence, and unresolved procedural questions. Its themed runs let strange cases, high-profile cases, and wrongful-conviction chapters breathe across multiple episodes.
If true crime is your thing, it's ours too. With a dash of Southern charm, Jenn and Lindsay crack open the most compelling cases within different series and topics including cruise ship deaths and disappearances, historical crimes, crimes committed by women, crimes that inspired movies, and so much more. With over 200 episodes there’s plenty to binge.
