The Fall Line: True Crime

True crime podcasting often forgets that, underneath the gore and sensationalism, there are real people, real families, and real justice waiting to be served.  The Fall Line® focuses on ethical, deep-dive coverage of the cold cases of missing people, unsolved homicides, and unidentified persons called John and Jane Does.  Intensive research and in-depth interviews with families, law enforcement, and experts tell the stories of victims and survivors you’ve never heard of. . . and why their cases were ignored in the first place.

Introducing Killer Psyche

When a shocking crime occurs, people ask “WHY?” Was it about power, ego, or revenge? On KILLER PSYCHE, retired FBI criminal profiler Candice DeLong draws on her decades of experience to reveal why these murderers and criminals committed these acts. She will reveal fascinating new details about what drove these people, including cases she worked on first-hand. Candice has been called the FBI’s “real-life Clarice Starling,” and she will share specific psychological methods and profiling techniques that experts use to understand the deepest part of the most complex, fascinating, and twisted minds, from the Unabomber to Dr. Death to El Chapo.

Their family worked tirelessly to get the case reopened, and finally managed to attract the notice of a newly elected sheriff in 2013. Now, the podcast works to amplify the voices of the twins' family and to uncover facts, explore and dispel rumors, and develop theories in their case. Listen as we work to find Dannette and Jeannette Millbrook.

Do they target foster families or family services? What if the Doe was a foster child or adopted?

You want a compelling case??? Read about the disappearance of Wojciech Fudali in Rhode Island!! I'm surprised this case has not blown up, and those friends were not held accountable. Their story is very sketchy.

Even someone where English is a second language, they are still mansplaining her. He literally repeats what she says about the FBI profile, like it is his own original thought, not an agreement to what she just said. Crazy.

There is a living, unidentified person on NAMUS that I think should be checked with the Millbrook family DNA. It would be a long shot, but she is the right age and has some similarities to the Millbrook twins. She has amnesia and doesn't know who she is. @crimelinespod

I don't understand; if you have a DNA database from families and DNA from certain unidentified human remains, why can't you just run a match sequence on all of them? When you have DNA at a crime scene, you run that DNA against DNA in a database of known offenders or other crime scenes (CODIS). Why do they just cross reference on 'suggestion'? Make a database for missing and unidentified people to run against each other and family members.
