  • The Citronelle Murders
    Jun 29 2025

    In the early morning hours of Sat August 20th, 2016, Twenty-seven-year-old Derrick Dearman, entered the home where his twenty-four-year-old estranged girlfriend, Laneta Lester, was staying. It was Laneta's brother's home, situated approximately 30 miles outside Mobile, Alabama.

    Join Mike and Morf as they discuss the Citronelle murders. Laneta had fled from Derrick because he was abusive. Her family turned Derrick away from the home when he showed up earlier. But Derrick was determined to get inside, and once he did, he committed multiple brutal murders against Laneta's family and then took her hostage.

  • The Connecticut River Valley Killings Part 2
    Jun 22 2025

    In Part 1, we outlined the bulk of the cases connected to this series and discussed how many of the instances were remarkably similar in some ways, and how the areas where the crimes occurred often overlapped with each other.

    Join Mike and Morf for part 2 of the Connecticut River Valley killings. In Part 2, we will discuss a couple of additional deaths that may be part of this series, or at least were once thought to be connected, possibly. We will then delve into some possible suspects in the murders.

  • The Connecticut River Valley Killings Part 1
    Jun 15 2025

    From 1968 to 1989 there were a large number of murders in what is known as the Connecticut River Valley. But with the long period of time and bodies found in multiple states, it's hard to know how many of these murders are connected.

    Join Mike and Morf as they discuss what has become known as the Connecticut River Valley Killings. Law enforcement and online sleuths have tried to dissect these unsolved cases for years, trying to figure out which of them are connected and whether a serial killer was operating in the area.

I love the great writing and reporting of this show. Mike F has a great voice for radio (or podcasts) and I really enjoy listening to him. the Mikes have done great research and getting to hear it much more in-depth than can be done on TCATT is great.

This is about the 4th story I have listened too. They definitely do their homework. I will be continuing to listen to their great stories. Great job guys.

I believe I’m hooked now.

Intriguing

closest a listener can get to being inside the killers mind without actually crawling in there.

LOVE the detail.

not sure if you guys read the comments but one suggestion Morf... you sound like you are reading an 8th grade report sometimes. maybe add a little more personality to your facts... when your interviewing your organic and its fluid and you can tell you're engaged. when going over past crimes or the background you're very monotone and like you don't want to be there.

but really you guys. you do a fabulous job.

wow... just wow

Consistently Love It.

I've tried to listen to this podcast at different times, hoping it got, somehow, better. But episode one is the same as the most recent. Their reading voice is terrible. There's no natural flow to it. It's like every period he comes to is a welcome surprise.
This is NOT my kind of podcast.

I just couldn't take it......,

After listening to both TCATT and TCATT Unsolved we were very excited to take the deep dive into Criminology, but after ten or so episodes find it really suffers from the lack of repartee between the two hosts. It's like they're reading from scripts from different rooms. I find I'm constantly rewinding because it just does not hold my attention as the other two podcasts do. I plan to push forward as there are 160 + episodes to go and hope somewhere along the line they have managed to improve on what is now a very mediocre presentation. Gibby, you are truly missed!

Wanted to like it!
