Hey everyone, Carter Roy here.

If you're loving murder, true crime stories, you need to check out Crimes of, the newest show from Crime House.

Crimes of is a weekly series that explores a new theme each season, from crimes of the paranormal, unsolved murders, mysterious disappearances, and more. Their first season is

Crimes of Infamy, the true stories behind Hollywood's most iconic horror villains. Crimes of is a

crimehouse original powered by Pave Studios. Listen wherever you get your podcasts or find them on YouTube at Crimehouse Studios.

New episodes out every Tuesday. This is Crime House.

Every case needs an angle, a lead, a suspect, a theory, but sometimes in the hopes of bringing swift justice, detectives can lock in too early and make some critical

mistakes along the way. In 1982, three teenagers were found brutally murdered near Lake Waco in Texas.

There wasn't much hard evidence-leading detectives to a suspect.

But then someone started talking and investigator Truman Simon saw a possible answer.

He created a narrative built on shaky confessions, jailhouse snitches, and shoddy analysis.

Ultimately, four men ended up behind bars. Two were sentenced to die,

and decades later, serious questions remain, not just about who committed the Lake Waco murders,

but how far investigators were willing to go to close the case?

People's lives are like a story.

There's a beginning, a middle, and an end.

But you don't always know which part you're on.

Sometimes the final chapter arrives far too soon, and we don't always get to know the real ending.

I'm Carter Roy, and this is Murder True Crime Stories, a Crime House original powered by

Pave Studios that comes out every Tuesday and Thursday.
