    Ivy Insights

    The True Crimecast podcast is a highly entertaining and informative show that delves into different true crime cases. Hosted by John and Jamie, their dynamic and genuine rapport makes for an enjoyable listening experience. I first discovered this podcast through Talk is Jericho and have been hooked ever since.

    One of the best aspects of The True Crimecast is the thorough research that goes into each episode. John and Jamie provide detailed accounts of the crimes, presenting the facts in a way that engages the listener. They have a great talent for storytelling, making it easy to follow along and stay engaged throughout the episodes. Additionally, they handle sensitive topics with respect, always keeping the victims and their families in mind.

    Another standout aspect of this podcast is the hosts' down-to-earth nature. John and Jamie come across as relatable and approachable individuals who genuinely care about the cases they cover. Their southern accents add a charming touch to the podcast, making it even more enjoyable to listen to.

    While there are many positive aspects to The True Crimecast, one potential downside is that some Patreon subscribers claim they never received their shoutouts or had their emails answered. This can be disappointing for listeners who have supported the show financially and were hoping for some recognition or interaction with the hosts. It would be beneficial if this issue could be addressed to ensure all supporters feel appreciated.

    In conclusion, The True Crimecast is an excellent podcast for fans of true crime. John and Jamie's dedication to detailed research, respectful storytelling, and engaging delivery make it a must-listen for anyone interested in these types of stories. Despite minor hiccups with Patreon shoutouts and email responses, this podcast remains highly recommended for its quality content and likable hosts.

    In light of the recent A&E documentary about "new" evidence in the Scott Peterson case, we wanted to share our 2018 episode about the murder of his wife, Laci, and son, Connor. Even though this doc promises new findings, not much has changed from this recording aside from better recording equipment. On Christmas Eve of 2002, Scott Peterson left his pregnant wife, Laci, at home to go on a fishing trip. Scott returned home later that day to find his wife gone with no indication of where she may have gone. Police found no evidence of foul play at the house, but clues quickly emerged to call Scott's alibi into question. Did Scott Peterson murder his wife? Or is he, too, a victim in this scenario? --For early, ad free episodes and monthly exclusive bonus content, join our Patreon! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    In 1882, a man calling himself Henry Debosnys arrived in the Adirondacks. He was cultured, spoke half a dozen languages, and claimed to be a Portuguese aristocrat. But beneath the charm was a trail of dead wives that stretched across the East Coast. Within weeks of marrying a local widow named Betsey Wells, she was found brutally murdered—and Debosnys was the only suspect. --For early, ad free episodes and monthly exclusive bonus content, join our Patreon!

    Tim "Doc" Anderson was the quintessential "good guy" in a bad business. A Golden Gloves champion with a degree in kinesiology, Tim was a disciplined athlete who never touched drugs or alcohol. But when he crossed paths with Rick "Elvis" Parker - a flamboyant, cocaine-fueled promoter - Tim was pulled into a world of fixed fights, shadow contracts, and a literal "toxic" betrayal. If anyone wants to help Tim with his case, they can reach out to Florida's governor Ron DeSantis and request that Anderson's case be heard before the Clemency Board at GovernorRon.Desantis@eog.myflorida.com. --For early, ad free episodes and monthly exclusive bonus content, join our Patreon!

    In Heber City, Utah, a routine experiment with AI-powered reporting software led to one of the most absurd documents in the history of the department. Designed to transcribe body camera footage into draft reports to save officers hours of paperwork, the AI accidentally tuned into a nearby movie: Disney's The Princess and the Frog. The result was an official report claiming an officer had physically transformed into a frog while on duty. --For early, ad free episodes and monthly exclusive bonus content, join our Patreon!

    Recantation - Bill Little and Jamie Snow

    On Easter Sunday in 1991, 18-year-old William Little was murdered at a Bloomington, Illinois gas station for a mere $60. The initial investigation led veteran detective Charles Crowe to Jamie Snow, a man who passed a lie detector test and didn't fit the profile of a killer. The case went cold for years until two rookie detectives took over and built a case based almost entirely on the testimony of jailhouse informants and shifting eyewitness accounts. **The original release of this episode included discussion suggesting that Susan Claycomb confessed to being a part of this crime and told authorities Jamie Snow was guilty. However, that is not the case and the audio has been adjusted to reflect the reality that Susan always denied involvement and has fought to prove Jamie's innocence.    --For early, ad free episodes and monthly exclusive bonus content, join our Patreon!
