About this listen

This is true crime with journalistic integrity — and a curious, conversational edge. Every other Monday, Crime Story dives into gripping cases of every kind: from white-collar scandals and high-profile trials to under-the-radar stories you’ve never heard before.


At the heart of each episode is a deep, intimate interview with someone who knows the case inside and out — the journalists, documentarians, and storytellers who’ve reported on these crimes, chased leads for years, and lost sleep uncovering the truth. Their insights cut through the noise, revealing not just what happened, but why it matters.


Hosted by award-winning journalist Kathleen Goldhar — a true crime devotee with more than 20 years of experience and a track record of critically-acclaimed podcasts — the show blends sharp reporting with an authentic love for the genre.

    Kelly Harnett has a passion for practicing the law. But, when she started, her office didn’t look like what you would expect. It wasn’t in a law firm or a courthouse. Her office was a maximum security prison.


    Harnett was there because she had been convicted of second degree murder – a crime she insists she did not commit.


    This week on Crime Story, Anna Sinfield, host of the podcast The Girlfriends: Jailhouse Lawyer, introduces us to Kelly, and shares her amazing story.

    Why do kids keep going missing? Inside the troubled teen industry.
    Feb 23 2026

    In 2004, 16-year-old Daniel Yuen left his home in New Jersey and travelled to San Bernardino, California to enrol in a so-called "tough love" bootcamp. Daniel had been struggling with depression for years. Desperate for help Daniel’s family was promised that the CEDU Running Springs facility would help their son. Instead, he vanished.


    In the podcast Lost Kids from USG Audio, journalist Josh Bloch dives into the world of teen bootcamps. He talks to one family about their search for their missing son and discovers one bootcamp's ties to one of America's most dangerous cults. He joins us today on Crime Story to help make sense of it all.
