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. We'd love to hear from you! Complete our short listener survey here.


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.

  • Will the real William Woods please stand up?
    Oct 6 2025

    A homeless man insisted his identity had been stolen. Another man, miles away, claimed he was the real William Woods — and had the documents to back it up. What followed is a story about more than fraud. It’s about how we decide who to believe, and what happens when society refuses to see the vulnerable as victims. Writer Charlie McCann joins Crime Story to tell the twisted case of William Woods.

  • The murder of a dirtbag climber: Who was Jesse James?
    Sep 22 2025

    In the early summer of 2017, police in Squamish, British Columbia discovered the body of a man in a burned out vehicle. It took little time for the police to declare his death a homicide. What took more time was identifying who the man was. Originally, authorities thought his name was Jesse James, but they discovered he had other identities: Andrew Britt Greenbaum, Davis Wolfgang Hawke, Commander Bo Decker. Each identity revealed a mysterious past - and a potential motive for his murder.


    In the new podcast, Dirtbag Climber, host Steven Chua takes us along on the adventure to uncover who the real Jesse James was.
