We've all heard the phrase, that kind of thing doesn't happen in our town.

But here on Midwest Murder, we will shatter that false reality.

In fact, it happens more often than we know, and sometimes the details of the most horrific crimes that happened in our neighborhoods are lost in the back pages of newspapers,

forgotten on our news channels, and eventually erased over time.

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

This show will not shy away from the morbid details of these horrific events and the often

ugly truths behind them.

What you will hear is a detailed timeline of events, perspectives from those closely involved,

and analysis by experts.

What you will feel is the darkness that surrounds each story, the innocence lost by the

victims, and hopefully the justice that was ultimately delivered.
