    Tupac Shakur
    2026/10/02
    For nearly 30 years, the murder of Tupac Shakur remained one of the most notorious unsolved cases in music history. But was the truth really hidden, or was it simply a not-so-well-kept secret? In this episode, Lanie explores Tupac’s life and legacy, the events leading to his fatal shooting in Las Vegas, and the statements Duane “Keffe D” Davis made to investigators and the public long before his arrest. Following Davis’s recent murder conviction, we’re asking an uncomfortable question: Is it truly justice when law enforcement had important pieces of the story for years? Davis is scheduled to be sentenced on October 13, 2026, and has indicated that he plans to appeal. Content warning: This episode includes discussions of physical assault, gun violence, death, gangs, and sexual abuse allegations.

    Hey everyone, we’ve decided to try something new. Going forward, we’re thinking about having one of our monthly episodes focus on what’s been happening in the true crime world during the last few weeks. Instead of an in-depth look at a single, wrapped-up case, we’ll cover the basics on a handful of different topics. Updates on ongoing trials, news coming out about ongoing investigations, and anything else that comes up. Content Warnings: murder, child victims.

    It’s an unfortunate and terrifying rite of passage in parenthood. One minute you’re holding your child’s hand, and the next they’re nowhere to be seen. Maybe you were in line for checkout and let go to reach into your bag for a payment card, or maybe you were grocery shopping and reached up to grab something off a shelf - something completely innocent and understandable, something that only takes seconds of your focus. More Info: The court documents used heavily in the writing of this script can be found here, on the Casemine website. Content Warnings: murder, death of a child, unsolved case.

    One thing that never ceases to amaze me, in the worst possible way, is the price some people are willing to put on a human life. If you’re a regular listener, you already know - some people kill for a house, or custody of their children, or to retain their shares of a business. But sometimes there’s a concrete price on the line. Content Warnings: murder, infidelity. For Ad Free Content visit Patreon or Apple Subscription Sponsors: Feeling the need to pamper yourself?

    In a court of law, you might assume that there’s a certain level of decorum that needs to be maintained by defendants, witnesses, and lawyers alike. Speaking clearly, respectfully, not using profanity unless it’s strictly necessary for relaying past events or direct quotes. That sort of thing.

    From the outside, the world of true crime podcasting may seem small. Once you are in it, you realize how expansive, diverse, and deeply personal the landscape really is. In this special conversation, Lanie sits down with two standout creators in the genre: Gillian Pensavalle from True Crime Obsessed and Alvin Williams from Affirmative Murder. The three explore their individual journeys into podcasting, what inspired them, what keeps them going, and how their approaches, audiences, and storytelling styles differ while still sharing a commitment to intentional and ethical true crime storytelling. You will hear about the importance of community, the influence of personal backgrounds on the way we cover crime, and how authenticity becomes a bridge between creator and listener. Whether you are discovering these creators for the first time or have followed their work for years, this conversation offers a look behind the microphone and into the heart of what motivates us to tell these stories with care. If you enjoy this episode, check out True Crime Obsessed and Affirmative Murder, and let them know you first heard them on True Crime Cases with Lanie.
