VOICES OF
THE FORGOTTEN

An investigative true crime podcast built on original FOIA-obtained documents and primary-source reporting — not retellings of what's already been said.

The Approach

Journalism first.
Documents over speculation.

Every episode follows newsroom standards — documented fact, properly attributed. When something is confirmed, it's presented as confirmed. When something is alleged, or reported by family, or unverified by law enforcement, it's framed clearly as exactly that.

I file Freedom of Information Act requests for the cases I cover. When documents come back, my audience hears about it first — because the goal here isn't just retelling what's already public. It's going and finding what isn't.

    Alleged, reportedly, according to — unverified claims are always labeled.

  • ORIGINAL RECORDS

    FOIA requests filed directly with law enforcement agencies.

  • FAMILY FIRST

    Families are consulted and treated with care, not as content.
