About this listen

 Every crime has a story. But beneath that story lies a complex organism of motive, method, and madness. Welcome to Anatomy of Crime, the podcast that methodically dissects true crime cases to understand not just what happened, but precisely how and why. In each episode, we place a new case under the microscope. We deconstruct the investigation from the first 911 call to the final arrest. We analyze the critical forensic evidence that turned the tide. We explore the psychological profile of the perpetrator to uncover the motive. And we examine the courtroom strategies that ultimately decided the verdict in the eyes of the law. This isn't just storytelling; it's a complete post-mortem. If you're ready to look past the headlines and explore the intricate inner workings of the criminal world, join us as we uncover the Anatomy of Crime.True Crime Podcast Social Sciences True Crime
