We've all heard the phrase.

That kind of thing doesn't happen in our town.

But here on Midwest murder, we will shadow that false reality.

In fact, it happens more often than we know.

And sometimes, the details of the most horrific crimes that happen in our neighborhoods are lost in the back pages of newspapers, forgotten on our news channels, and eventually erased over time.

We are here to talk about murder, diving into some of the most controversial cases in Midwest history.
