Crime Incident is a true crime podcast about murder investigations and the evidence they actually rest on.

Each Crime Incident episode rebuilds one case from the record: the police investigation as it really unfolded, the forensic evidence and the DNA that held up, the witness testimony that quietly fell apart, and what a jury finally decided. Some cases end in a verdict. Others end in an appeal, an exoneration, or a case file that has stayed open for forty years.

The catalog runs from famous murder trials to disappearances almost nobody covered. A missing person hunted as a suspect while his own body lay one floor above the crime scene. A killer caught by an embossed emblem on an envelope. A confession that arrived decades too late. A DNA profile matched to a phantom who never existed. Murders closed by forensic genetic genealogy, and murders where detectives are still asking for tips today.

Three rules hold in every Crime Incident episode. Confirmed evidence and disputed claims are never blurred together, and you are always told which is which. Victims are treated as people, not as plot devices. And when a case is still unsolved, you get its exact legal status, the reward if there is one, and the number to call.

Crime Incident is true crime for people who want the case file, not the rumor.

  • You Will Never Find Him: The Timmothy Pitzen Case

    You Will Never Find Him: The Timmothy Pitzen Case
    2026/09/02
    You Will Never Find Him: The Timmothy Pitzen Case

    On May 11, 2011, Amy Fry-Pitzen walked into Greenman Elementary School in Aurora, Illinois, and signed her six-year-old son Timmothy out of kindergarten, citing a family emergency that did not exist. For three days she took him on a farewell tour of everything he loved, a zoo and two water park resorts, before checking into a Rockford motel alone. She was found dead by suicide the next afternoon, leaving a note saying her son was safe with people who love him, and that he would never be found. Timmothy Pitzen has not been seen since.

    In this episode, we walk the edges of the one question that defines the case: what did Amy do in the roughly six unaccounted hours after she switched off her phone near Sterling, Illinois, with Timmothy audible in the background of her final calls? We follow the forensic geology that reconstructed a treeless meadow from dust under her SUV, the unexplained winter trips she made to that same rural corridor months earlier, the secret email account, the blood evidence that alarmed investigators and was later explained, and the 2019 Brian Rini hoax that put a grieving family through a day of false hope before DNA ended it.

    Person: Timmothy James Pitzen, 6 years old
    Date: May 11 to 14, 2011
    Location: Aurora, Wisconsin Dells, Sterling and Rockford, Illinois
    Case: Missing child; mother died by suicide, never charged; no proof of life, no proof of death
    Status: Open and active with Aurora Police; 15 years marked in May 2026; Timmothy would now be 21

    - The false emergency and the three-day water park itinerary
    - The last image at the Kalahari Resort and the phone switched off near Sterling
    - The meadow reconstructed from the SUV: Lee and Whiteside Counties
    - The note, the letters, and the child ID card left in Room 108
    - The 2019 impostor, the only prosecution the case ever produced

    Tips: NCMEC 1-800-THE-LOST or Aurora Police at 630-256-5516. Somewhere, someone remembers that meadow.

  • Every Phone in America Knows Her Name: The Amber Hagerman Case

    Every Phone in America Knows Her Name: The Amber Hagerman Case
    2026/08/31
    Every Phone in America Knows Her Name: The Amber Hagerman Case

    On January 13, 1996, nine-year-old Amber Hagerman left her grandparents' house in Arlington, Texas, on her bicycle at 3:10 p.m. Eight minutes later, a neighbor watched a man in a black pickup truck grab her off the bike in an abandoned grocery store parking lot and drive away. Four days later she was found in a creek, and investigators concluded she had been kept alive for two days while the whole city searched. Her killer has never been identified. Yet her name is on every phone in the country: the AMBER Alert, credited with rescuing more than 1,100 abducted children, was born from her case, after one Dallas-Fort Worth radio listener asked a simple question: we have alerts for tornadoes, why not for abducted children?

    In this episode, we follow the Amber Hagerman case in pure chronology: the eight minutes, the lone eyewitness and the truck description that has not changed in 30 years, the storm that washed away the evidence, six false confessions and more than 7,000 tips, the laundromat witnesses police believe never came forward out of fear, the 2021 disclosure of preserved DNA evidence, and the 30th anniversary in January 2026, when her mother spoke directly to the killer: turn yourself in, give Amber justice.

    Person: Amber Rene Hagerman, 9, of Arlington, Texas
    Date: Abducted January 13, 1996; found January 17, 1996
    Location: Arlington, Texas (Dallas-Fort Worth)
    Case: Abduction and murder; origin of the AMBER Alert system
    Legal status: Unsolved and active; no suspect ever named or charged; tip line 817-575-8823; $10,000 Oak Farms Dairy reward

    - The 3:10 departure, the bike ramp, and the eight-minute window
    - Jimmie Kevil, the only eyewitness, and the black single-cab pickup
    - Two days alive: what the timeline implies about the killer
    - Diana Simone's radio call and how the AMBER Alert went national
    - The 2021 DNA disclosure and the Carla Walker genealogy model

    The system that saves the missing was built on a case nobody solved. Thirty years later, the Amber Hagerman case is still waiting for its own alert to be answered.

  • The Neighbor Across the Street: The Origin of Megan's Law

    The Neighbor Across the Street: The Origin of Megan's Law
    2026/08/30
    The Neighbor Across the Street: The Origin of Megan's Law

    On July 29, 1994, seven-year-old Megan Kanka was lured into the house directly across the street from her family's home in Hamilton Township, New Jersey, by a neighbor who promised to show her a puppy. Jesse Timmendequas had two prior convictions for sexually assaulting young girls and had spent six years in the state's treatment center for repetitive offenders. Her parents had lived on that street for sixteen years and knew none of it, because in 1994 no law required anyone to tell them. Why did the state know everything about that house while the street knew nothing? And how did one murder produce a new law in just 89 days?

    In this episode, we follow the Megan Kanka case from the night search her killer joined, handing out flyers for the child he had murdered, to his confession one day later and the discovery that detonated under the town: three convicted sex offenders had been living in that one house, invisible to every family on the block. We trace Maureen Kanka's campaign, the fastest legislative sprint in modern memory, the 1997 capital trial, and the honest, still unresolved debate over whether notification laws actually prevent these crimes.

    Person: Megan Nicole Kanka, 7 years old
    Date: July 29, 1994
    Location: Hamilton Township, Mercer County, New Jersey
    Case: Abduction, sexual assault, and murder by a neighbor; solved in one day by confession
    Legal status: Jesse Timmendequas convicted on all counts in 1997 and sentenced to death; sentence commuted to life without parole in December 2007 when New Jersey abolished the death penalty; he remains imprisoned with no possibility of release

    - The house that held three convicted sex offenders no neighbor knew about
    - The killer who joined the search for his own victim
    - Megan's Law signed in New Jersey 89 days after the murder, federal law in 1996
    - The penalty phase, the 2007 commutation, and Maureen Kanka's objection
    - Megan's Place: the murder house demolished and turned into a children's park

    The Megan Kanka case rewrote what every American family is allowed to know about the street where they live.
