True Crime
The Fall Line®
True crime podcasting often forgets that, underneath the gore and sensationalism, there are real people, real families, and real justice waiting to be served.
The Fall Line® is an antidote to that oversight - focused on ethical, deep-dive coverage of missing people, unsolved homicides, and unidentified persons called John and Jane Does.
We present carefully crafted true crime stories, thorough research and in-depth interviews with families, law enforcement, and experts. And we bring calls to action, so engaged true crime listeners can do their part to resolve cold cases.
Join us to learn about victims and survivors you’ve never heard of. . . and why their cases were ignored in the first place.
Episode 2: The Murder of Princella Eppes — Lady Bird
In early July of 1990, 22-year-old Princella “Lady Bird” Eppes’ life felt full of potential: she’d just moved into her first apartment in the intown Atlanta neighborhood of Inman Park. But when she failed to pick up her youngest sister for a planned visit, and then didn’t show up for work, her family grew worried. When they drove to Princella’s apartment, they discovered she’d been murdered—and began a harrowing, 34-year-struggle to who had killed her, and why. Season 20 covers cold cases in Georgia, Illinois, and Montana, and the efforts of victims’ families to reconnect with law enforcement and gain media attention for their loved ones.

Introducing Gone Cold – Texas True Crime
On June 4th, 1977, workers cleaning up at Sycamore Park south of downtown found the body of 31-year-old Ora Lee Prescott. After quickly identifying who they thought her killer was and then failing to produce sufficient evidence to charge him, the Fort Worth Police simply gave up, leaving her casefile to collect dust, by all indications, for 45 years now. Tragically, Ora Lee’s daughter, too, was slain by a serial rapist and two-time convicted murderer almost 20 years after her mother. This is a preview of Gone Cold’s coverage of the case, and you can find the rest of the story by subscribing to Gone Cold – Texas true crime wherever you listen to podcasts. https://linknbio.com/gonecoldpodcast

The Disappearance of Calvin Willie Martinez: New Mexico Part 6
In our final episode of the season, we continue the story of Calvin Willie Martinez. Mothers Day 2019 was the last time Calvin Willie Martinez’s family heard from him. After suffering an immense loss in 2014, Calvin had struggled with depression and alcohol dependence. But he always stayed in contact with his loved ones—so when he called them from a truck stop in Albuquerque, NM, and promised he was heading home, they believed him. But Calvin never arrived. Ever since, his sister Becky Martinez has been advocating for her brother. And as she discovered in late 2023, that persistence was vital: otherwise, his case would have remained erroneously closed. Season 19 focuses on New Mexico and on the cases of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Persons/Missing/ Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Relatives (MMIP/MMIWR) whose loved ones are still fighting for resolution in their cases.

The Grays Harbor Jane Doe: Unsolved Homicides, Part 6
In October of 1988, the remains of a homicide victim were found in a rural area of Grays Harbor County, just outside Elma, Washington. A dedicated detective worked her case for years—first in his role with the sheriff's office, and then as coroner. Even now, in his retirement, he’s followed the case. Despite thousands of hours of investigation, her identity remained elusive; but then, in 2018, forensic investigative genetic genealogy became a possibility, and The DNA Doe Project took on the case of the Grays Harbor Jane Doe. But her case has proved incredibly difficult, and genelaogists and investigators need your help to reconnect her to her identity, and solve her murder. Season 18 covers four unsolved homicides in four states and across three decades: all are in need of local and national attention to be resolved.

The Murder of Susan Minard Lund: Unsolved Homicides, Part 5
For almost thirty years, Susan Minard Lund’s children believed she’d run away and abandoned them; after she disappeared on Christmas Eve of 1992 in Clarksville TN, a search was launched, but late the next year, her missing-persons report was closed. That’s because a woman in Alabama claimed to be Sue, and authorities accepted the claim. Her siblings and parents never believed it, though, and they were proven right. Her story, and the story of Ina Jane Doe, are the throughline of Laurah Norton’s book, LAY THEM TO REST, and Sue’s family joins us to tell a piece of the story not covered in the book: what it’s been like to deal with the aftermath of knowledge of what they learned—and what the rest of the justice they are waiting for.

The Tennessee Does, Part 6: The Answers
Laurah is sick; apologies for hoarseness. The last five episodes have presented more than 20 cold cases in desperate need of resolution. For many, the only chance will come through FIGG—DNA testing and forensic investigative genetic genealogy. This episode, we move beyond our Nashville Does coverage to speak with Redgrave Research about how some of the most difficult cases are solved, and about their successful work resolving a case with Laurah—one tied to both Tennessee and Illinois.

The Tennessee Does, Part 5: Fragmentation
Laurah is sick; apologies for hoarseness. Episode 5 presents the most difficult cases in MNPD’s files: cases limited to a single element, or bone, dead-ended by clues that led nowhere, or, in the case of the River Road John Doe, where the decedent’s remains are no longer available—that’s why we need your help to try and match him with a missing person, based on the clues we have, and the ones we have uncovered.

More than ever, your help is needed to spread the word about each of the cases featured this season, and if you have any information—please, contact MNPD at 615-862-7803.

But all of the people whose cases are covered in this episode are lost, in that they have been disconnected from their identities, and thus their loved ones—whether they were missing in the months before their deaths, or for much longer.
