For homicide detectives, their chance of solving a murder is cut in half if they don’t get a lead within the first 48 hours.

Adapted from the hit A&E true crime series The First 48, Crime House Studios brings you the podcast that drops you inside that critical window: the interrogations, the dead ends, and the breakthroughs that crack a case wide open. Each week, we revisit a landmark investigation from the franchise, pairing its signature investigative depth with immersive, long-form storytelling built for your ears.

Real detectives. Real cases. Real stakes. New episodes every Thursday. Follow wherever you get your podcasts. Presented by Crime House Studios, A&E Global Media, and ITV America.

Marshall Applewhite believed — and made others believe — that Earth was about to be wiped clean, and that the only escape was to shed the human body and board a spacecraft trailing the Hale-Bopp comet. In March 1997, 39 members of Heaven's Gate were found dead in a mansion in Rancho Santa Fe, California, dressed in matching black and wearing new Nike sneakers. They had packed bags for the journey. Applewhite had been refining this theology for decades, and the people who followed him were not fringe figures — they were educated, thoughtful, and completely certain. We look at the belief system, the man who built it, and the community that died by it.

On the morning of March 24, 1998, 23-year-old Amy Lynn Bradley vanished from a Royal Caribbean cruise ship while it was docked in Curaçao. She had been dancing with her brother the night before and was last seen resting on the cabin balcony at dawn — then she was simply gone. The ship was not locked down before passengers disembarked, potentially allowing critical evidence to walk off the vessel. In the years since, alleged sightings have surfaced across the Caribbean, including photographs some believe show Amy alive. Jurisdictional confusion, maritime gray areas, and a family that has never stopped looking define one of the most infuriating disappearances in modern history.
