True Crime With Good Wine is the show for people who want their murder served at room temperature. No rushed timelines. No dramatized reenactment music every thirty seconds. Just a single narrator, a glass of something worth drinking, and the kind of slow, unflinching storytelling that the worst cases in American crime history actually deserve. Each episode takes one case — one family, one town, one set of circumstances that spiraled into something unthinkable — and spends real time with it. The victims get their names said out loud. The evidence gets examined without shortcuts. The psychology gets explored without excuses. And the wine? The wine is just there to remind you that life, even when this podcast makes it feel very dark, is still worth savoring. These are real people, real places, and real failures of the human condition — and they deserve a narrator who slows down long enough to honor that. So pour yourself something good, get comfortable, and stay a while.

8 JUN 2026 · The Man Who Needed an Audience: The BTK Killer
Between 1974 and 1991, a man in Wichita, Kansas murdered ten people. He called himself BTK — Bind, Torture, Kill — and he gave himself that name in letters he sent to newspapers and police, because the murders alone were not enough. He needed to be known for them. He needed an audience. During those seventeen years, Dennis Rader was a compliance officer for the city of Park City, a president of his church council, a Cub Scout leader, a husband, and a father. Nobody suspected him. Nobody was close to catching him. In 2004, after more than a decade of silence, he made contact again — unable to tolerate a local news story suggesting he might be dead or imprisoned. He asked investigators, in one of his communications, whether a floppy disk could be traced. They lied and told him no. He used a floppy disk. The metadata led directly to his church and his name. He was arrested in February 2005, thirty-one years after his first murders, and pleaded guilty to all ten counts. He is currently serving ten consecutive life sentences in Kansas. One narrator. No shortcuts. Pour yourself something good. This episode includes AI-generated content.

8 JUN 2026 · In the summer of 2021, twenty-two-year-old Gabby Petito and her fiancé Brian Laundrie set off on a cross-country van life road trip through America's national parks, documenting everything on social media. On September 1st, Brian drove the van home to North Port, Florida — alone. He said nothing. For ten days, he said nothing. When Gabby was reported missing, an explosive nationwide search followed — one that exposed a disturbing police encounter in Moab, Utah, six weeks earlier, where officers responded to a 911 call reporting a man hitting a woman and left without making an arrest. Gabby's remains were found in Wyoming on September 19th, 2021. Brian Laundrie was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound in a Florida nature reserve five weeks later, leaving behind a notebook in which he admitted to killing her. The case sparked a national conversation about missing persons media coverage, domestic violence response, and the gap between which victims receive attention and which do not. One narrator. No shortcuts. Pour yourself something good. This episode includes AI-generated content.

8 JUN 2026 · If It Doesn't Fit: The Murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman
On the night of June 12th, 1994, Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman were stabbed to death outside Nicole's Brentwood condominium in Los Angeles. Her white Akita, with bloody paws, led a neighbor to the bodies. Within days, every piece of physical evidence pointed at one man — Nicole's ex-husband, O.J. Simpson, NFL legend, actor, and one of the most famous people in America. He was charged with two counts of first-degree murder. What followed was 252 days of live televised criminal proceedings that split the country along racial lines, produced the most quoted line in American legal history, and ended with a jury acquitting O.J. Simpson in less than four hours. Three years later, a civil jury found him liable and awarded thirty-three and a half million dollars to the victims' families. He never paid most of it. He died in April 2024. The murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman have never been prosecuted to conviction. One narrator. No shortcuts. Pour yourself something good.

6 JUN 2026 · On December 11th, 1978, a fifteen-year-old boy named Robert Piest stepped outside a Des Plaines, Illinois pharmacy to talk to a man about a summer job. His mother was waiting in the parking lot. He never came back. The man he went to see was John Wayne Gacy — contractor, community volunteer, Democratic Party precinct captain, and the man who had shaken hands with First Lady Rosalynn Carter just months earlier. He was also, by the time Robert Piest disappeared, already responsible for the deaths of at least twenty-nine young men — buried in the crawlspace beneath his house, under concrete and lime, while he threw neighborhood parties above them. This is the full story of John Wayne Gacy. How he operated in plain sight for six years. How survivors reported him to police and were not believed. How his Iowa sex conviction was invisible to Illinois authorities due to a catastrophic failure in record sharing. How investigators finally found what was under the house. How the trial unfolded, how the victims were identified over decades using DNA technology, and what the case revealed about who gets believed, and who does not, when they report a crime. Thirty-three confirmed victims. Six years. One neighborhood in suburban Chicago. One narrator. No shortcuts. Pour yourself something good. This episode includes AI-generated content.

6 JUN 2026 · The Promised Land — Jim Jones and the Jonestown Massacre - True Crime with Good Wine
On November 18th, 1978, in a remote jungle settlement in Guyana, South America, nine hundred and eighteen people died in a single afternoon. At the instruction of one man. His name was Jim Jones, and he had spent two decades building the Peoples Temple — a church that started as a genuine force for racial equality and social justice in Indiana and California, and ended as a death cult in the jungle. This is the full story. How Jim Jones went from a child staging animal funerals in rural Indiana, to a preacher with the ear of governors and presidential candidates, to a drug-addicted, paranoid cult leader who relocated a thousand followers to the jungle and rehearsed mass death with them until it felt normal. How Congressman Leo Ryan flew to Guyana to investigate reports of abuse, and was shot forty-four times on an airstrip trying to leave. How Jones gathered his people in the pavilion, mixed cyanide into a grape drink, and told them that dying together was a revolutionary act. And how a forty-four-minute cassette tape captured everything, including a woman named Christine Miller who stood up and argued against it — and was shouted down by the crowd.

5 JUN 2026 · On the afternoon of November 24th, 1971 — the day before Thanksgiving — a man calling himself Dan Cooper bought a one-way ticket from Portland to Seattle, boarded Northwest Orient Airlines Flight 305, ordered a bourbon and soda, and handed a flight attendant a note saying he had a bomb. He collected a $200,000 ransom, four parachutes, and at approximately 8:13 PM, somewhere over the dark forests of southwestern Washington state, he jumped out of the back of the plane. And was never seen again. It is the only unsolved hijacking in the history of American commercial aviation. In fifty-four years, the FBI investigated over 800 suspects, released more than 1,000 pages of declassified files in 2025, and still does not officially know who Dan Cooper was, whether he survived the jump, or where the money went. Only $5,800 of the $200,000 ransom has ever been recovered. This episode includes AI-generated content.
