Billy Jensen is an American true crime pioneer and NY Times bestselling author, renowned for using social media to solve unsolved murders and missing persons cases. He has resolved six homicides and helped locate numerous missing individuals, a journey chronicled in his bestselling book, Chase Darkness with Me: How One True Crime Writer Started Solving Murders. As Billy's career soared, so did his struggle with alcohol. His impressive career includes writing for top publications like Los Angeles Magazine, Rolling Stone, and the New York Times, serving as a senior producer and investigator on Crime Watch Daily, co-hosting Unraveled on Discovery+, and co-creating the successful podcast Jensen & Holes: The Murder Squad. Despite these accomplishments, his alcoholism and long-standing battle with depression worsened, culminating in sexual misconduct allegations that led to the loss of his podcast and tarnished his professional reputation. Billy's latest book, Killers Amidst Killers, combines his true crime expertise with his personal struggle, exploring how unresolved homicides are often disregarded or misclassified as opioid-related deaths, a critique on the sociopolitical handling of the American opioid crisis. Now two years sober, Billy candidly shares his journey of redemption and personal growth. In our conversation, he reflects on his career, his battle with alcoholism, and his efforts to make amends while continuing to impact the world of true crime. Please join us for a compelling discussion with a man whose dramatic fall from grace is matched by his newfound dedication to leading an honorable, sober life.
