About this listen

 Kerrie Droban is the host and creator of the "CRIME STANDS STILL" podcast, a docuseries that follows one case every Season. Season One features the sensational Arizona story of Marjorie Orbin, a woman wrongfully convicted of the brutal and shocking beheading of her former husband and currently serving a life sentence. Season One, "Firefly," was written and produced with the permission and encouragement of my client, Marjorie Orbin, whom I have represented in post-conviction for over ten years. After extensive investigation, research, and interviews, FIREFLY is a presentation of the "whole truth" and not just what the jury heard. Post-conviction practice is a highly specialized area of law that explores fundamental and nuanced aspects of criminal law and procedure. It asks what happened and what went wrong behind the scenes and outside the record after appeals have been exhausted. With over 3,200 inmates nationwide (21 of whom were sentenced to death) exonerated either in full or in part by DNA testing, newly discovered evidence, and newfound witnesses, post-conviction investigation is a vital component of truth and justice.

    Eight victims. One Axe. No Answers. It began on a quiet June night in 1912—when an entire family was slaughtered in their sleep, their faces and mirrors covered, bacon left near the bodies and their killer vanished into the dark. The Villisca Axe Murders shocked America and birthed one of the nation's earliest true crime obsessions. In this gripping episode of Crime Stands Still, bestselling author and criminal profiler Kerrie Droban unravels the haunting mystery behind the Moore family massacre—exploring botched investigations, mob hysteria, voyeuristic fascination, and the chilling theory that Villisca's killer may have struck again and again across the Midwest. 👉 For deeper insight into surviving the mind games of a psychopath, get my book Surviving a Psychopath. https://kerriedroban.com/surviving-psychopath ✅ Join my Masterclass: https://kerrie-zhivago.mykajabi.com/surviving-a-psychopath Could YOU spot a psychopath?
