0:08.2	I have been really digging to Victorian True Crime lately, and I know a lot of you love True Crime just like I do.
0:14.7	So if you're looking for more recent true crime stories, you've got to check out murder, she told.
0:21.3	Kristen Sevey carefully crafts her true crime storytelling with archival research, original
0:26.5	interviews, with people who are actually close to the cases that she covers.
0:30.6	Just like me, she digs deep into old newspapers and police reports and features a lot of
0:36.4	unsolved cases from like the 1970s to the mid-2000s,
0:40.2	focusing mainly on cases from New England, which I have a particular obsession with.
0:46.2	Kristen is a certified victim's advocate, someone who discusses true crime with empathy and deep

1:41.0	but tracks in the snow led detectives to a crucial piece of evidence and into a high-stakes game of cat and mouse with two men who might actually know where to find him.
1:51.9	Enjoy. You will find links to that particular show in the show notes. Make sure to give murder. She told a follow and listen anywhere you get your podcasts.
