    I recently had the pleasure of interviewing Dying to be Found, AKA Deb Norman! We talked about her venture into true crime and how it is now a complete family affair, as well as her new show, the DASH!


    Who is Dying to be Found?


    "Meet Deb. A true crime enthusiast who pulls family members into her web of tales whether they want to hear them or not. She's kind of convincing that way! We go across state lines and international borders to not only bring you a variety of family members who double as co-hosts, but we also deliver true crime stories that are left open to interpretation."

    In a very exciting episode, I was interviewed by Deb Norman from Dying to be Found for her new series, The DASH! We talked about my PhD research and what I've uncovered so far about the ethics of true crime, then closed with the confusing case of Shannon Matthews' disappearance. It is crazy to think that in less than two years my research has taken me this far - I feel so lucky to work with such fantastic podcasters!

    Meet cadaver dog expert and retired criminologist... MaryAnne McCullough, host of Crime Scenes and Cupcakes. We spoke about her work with the FBI and why she cannot rest until the murder of her best friend is solved.



    Who is Crime Scenes & Cupcakes?


    "Dog mom. Baker. True crime podcast maker. Retired criminologist & boozy baker investigating unsolved crimes in Kansas. We will venture beyond those borders when families of victims reach out to us. Behind every podcast there is a victim. Their families, friends & loved ones are left looking for answers. It’s our job to treat their story with respect, integrity & compassion. Cases get solved by keeping the victim & details of the case in the public eye. Bringing widespread visibility to a case can bring answers and potentially stop additional crimes."
