A family is frustrated with the outcome of a law enforcement investigation into their loved one's death.

A man who was wrongfully and publicly accused of a heinous crime he didn't commit once compensation for his traumatic months of being locked up.

These are just some of the stories covered on court junkies' new podcast, Civil.

When justice can't be acquired through the criminal court system, many people in the US go through the Civil Courts.

Research by Nicole Guzmerotti, written by Matt Stroud, and edited and narrated by Jillian Jolali, Civil explores some of the most fascinating civil trials.

Each episode covers a single case from Alex Jones to O.J. Simpson to cases that listeners have likely never even heard before.

For example, like a principal who hypnotized his students and then three of those students died tragic deaths in a three-month period, or a teenager who is suspended all because of a post on Snapchat.

It's been over four years since 34-year-old mother Sherry Papini vanished, then reappeared 22 days later.

15-pound lighter with cut hair, a broken nose, and severe bruising. What happened to Sherry?

Was she the victim of a brutal kidnapping as she claims, or was this all a hoax?

This is Episode 37, the Sherry Papini story.

Hi, Megan. Hi, Amy. What a case today. I know the name. I know the basic premise of the case. I knew it was a kidnapping or was it, but that's all I know.

And I remember a picture of her in court. She's like a shortage blonde hair. Yes.

I remember that there was like a picture of her in a court case, and she's smiling, and it didn't look good. But I don't know anything else.

Megan, I have to tell you that remember when you covered Cindy James? Yes. And I said that case might have been the most baffling I've ever heard. I think this case is up there.

Let's see. I'll be the judge. There are so many theories, and I can't wait to hear which one you think is the most plausible.

Okay. Well, you better give me the facts of the case first. So before we jump into Sherry Papini, let's take a moment to thank our supporters.
