Hey there, we're Sabrina DeAnraoga and Corinne Vien, hosts of Crimes of.

Crimes of is a weekly true crime series with each season diving into a different theme,

from unsolved murders to mysterious disappearances and the cases that haunt us most.

And since this Valentine's season, we are unpacking crimes of passion,

Crimes of is a crimehouse original.

Listen wherever you get your podcasts or watch on YouTube.

New episodes every Tuesday.
