People who are mad about true crime podcasts love to pretend there is some moral imperative we are following. That they are educational. That we’re learning how to not get murdered, for example. But let’s be honest, we just enjoy a murder show, and there’s nothing wrong with that.
But occasionally journalists and amateur detectives actually do affect positive change, if not directly, then shedding light on cold cases or mobilizing listeners to come forward.
Here are seven times when true crime podcasts had (sort of) happy endings.
The Teacher’s Pet
Hedley Thomas is a dog with a bone. In this 17-episode show (which is admittedly a bit on the long-side) Australian journalist Thomas gets his teeth into the case of the disappearance of Lynette Dawson, a nurse and mother who went missing in 1982. Though no body has ever been found, it grows increasingly likely that...

“It’s the end of an era,” podcast network Exactly Right tweeted in May 2022. “Jensen & Holes: The Murder Squad is going off the air.” The tweet set off dismayed speculation among the true crime community, and rightly so: The podcast, which launched in 2019, was a popular powerhouse of the genre, featuring Paul Holes, the now-retired detective who helped crack the Golden State Killer case, and Billy Jensen, who helped finish the 2018 bestseller, I’ll Be Gone in the Dark, that detailed the hunt for the serial killer, after author Michelle McNamara...

Emmy voters may give an involuntary shudder while poring over potential nominees in the documentary categories. They abound with tales of mass murderers and eldritch crime: John Wayne Gacy, the Manson Family, the Night Stalker Richard Ramirez, the Australian serial killer known as the Night Caller, and the Golden State Killer.
Most of those series fit neatly within the true crime niche, but I’ll Be Gone in the Dark represents an exception. Yes, the HBO docuseries explores how Golden State Killer Joseph James DeAngelo was ultimately apprehended after decades eluding identification. But it does so through the perspective of gifted writer and amateur detective Michelle McNamara, who became obsessed with tracking down the mysterious killer and gave him his memorable three-word moniker.

Paul Holes Reflects on the Golden State Killer Case 3 Years After Joseph James DeAngelo Jr.'s Arrest
An unforgettable case. Today, April 24, marks the three-year anniversary of the arrest of Joseph James DeAngelo Jr., a former police officer who came to be known as the Golden State Killer after committing a myriad of heinous crimes—including murder and rape—across the state of California over a 13-year period. And while the arrest was certainly a victory for law enforcement, famed cold case investigator Paul Holes, who worked closely on this case, noted that the capture of DeAngelo didn't take away the victims or their loved ones' pain and suffering. "Well, I pretty much remember everything about that case. It was so ingrained with me, you know, I was involved with that case for 24 years,"...

When Gil Carrillo joined the homicide division at the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department in the early Eighties, his future partner Frank Salerno was already something of a celebrity. He had recently collared the so-called Hillside Strangler, a.k.a. cousins Kenneth Bianchi and Angelo Buono Jr., a serial killer duo who terrorized the L.A. area in the late Seventies, raping, torturing, and killing 10 women.

This The Jane Doe Murders review contains spoilers.
The Jane Doe Murders is another in a long line of true crime breakdown procedurals. However, it showcases something rare but obvious in the majority of these video journalism projects. At the heart of the case which is probed on Oxygen’s two-hour forensic investigation special is a personal story. The victim is neither famous nor infamous. She wasn’t at the center of a nationwide manhunt. Parents weren’t told to check on their kids at 10 o’clock because of her. Her case went unsolved without so much as a name to identify her. The series points out there are nearly 40,000 open cases in the U.S. where the victim of a violent crime is unidentified. The victims are called Jane or John Doe. They become cold cases. The Jane Doe Murders brings warmth as well as closure.

Former police officer Joseph DeAngelo, 74, was handed down 11 consecutive life sentences without the possibility of parole on Friday for 13 counts of first-degree murder and 13 kidnapping-related charges. “The defendant deserves no mercy,” Judge Michael Bowman said after delivering the ruling, which is the maximum allowed and also includes another life sentence and eight years. The sentencing comes after a week of harrowing statements from survivors and victims’ families.
“I’ve listened to all your statements. Each one of them,” DeAngelo said before sentencing. “And I’m truly sorry to everyone I hurt.

This article avoids spoilers for everything but episode one of I’ll Be Gone in the Dark.
It’s clear from the very first episode of I’ll Be Gone in the Dark that this isn’t going to be like other true crime documentaries. Described as based on the book of the same name by Michelle McNamara, it’s more like a ‘making-of’ the book, a behind the scenes look at how the book got written with a strong focus on its author, the cops that wouldn’t let the case go, the amateur sleuths who helped, as well as the survivors of the East Area Rapist.
McNamara is a crime writer you might not necessarily be familiar with already if you’re not a true crime nut or indeed a ‘Murderino’. Directed by Liz Garbus who also made Netflix movie Lost Girls about The Long Island Serial Killer, episode one...

For decades, the identity of a rapist and murderer who terrorized California communities was an unsolved mystery. Now, the story of a woman who doggedly tracked him but didn’t live to see his capture is a tragedy. HBO’s I’ll Be Gone in the Dark, which premieres Sunday (10/9c), blends both of those tales in a gripping new docuseries.
The project is part true-crime thriller about the hunt for the Golden State Killer and part captivating memoir of Michelle McNamara, the writer who coined the murderer’s nickname but died before completing the book on which the series is based.

Retired detective Paul Holes has never read his friend Michelle McNamara’s New York Times-bestselling book I’ll Be Gone in the Dark, about the hunt for the Golden State Killer — despite factoring heavily into its contents. First, he was too busy tracking down the man he and McNamara had teamed up to find. Then it was just too hard — she died before the book could be finished, before the killer could be found.

True crime is an obsession more and more people share, with whole TV channels devoted to it, a whole raft of podcasts focused on it with more popping up every day and battalions of arm-chair detectives tapping away at Reddit threads from home.
While these sofa sleuths aren’t law enforcement and aren’t always privy to the full details of the case, sometimes they can’t make a real difference. The excellent podcast Bear Brook is one such example where genealogists manages to indenify a long lost victim. Netflix’s controversial doc Don’t F**k with Cats saw amateurs track down a man who tortured animals on camera who would upgrade to murder. But perhaps the most signficant, or certainly one of the most fascinating instances of serial killer obsession is Michelle McNamara and The Golden State Killer.

True-crime writer Michelle McNamara died of an accidental overdose on April 21st, 2016 — two years before the source of her obsession, the Golden State Killer, was arrested. Her drive to discover the identity of the prolific serial killer/rapist is captured in the upcoming six-part HBO documentary, I’ll Be Gone in the Dark, out June 28th. The doc shares a name with McNamara’s book, published posthumously in February 2018.
“I just obsessed over it,” McNamara says in a new teaser. “What drives me is the need to put a face on an unknown killer.

Could the same person be responsible for the murders of two different women in Atlanta that occurred just weeks within each other? Retired cold case investigator Paul Holes is determined to find out on Friday's new episode of The DNA of Murder. With the help of Loni Coombs, a former prosecutor for the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office, Holes will take an in-depth look at two separate Atlanta murders—the first of which happened in 2002 when 27-year-old Tamekia Taylor was killed in her home as she got dressed for a holiday party. Then, less than two months later, 32-year-old Jennifer Clemmings was murdered, and whoever was responsible left a crime scene that resembled the one where...

Billy Jensen doesn’t have the kind of insomnia that gives him trouble falling asleep. His is the kind that wakes him up a few hours later, in the dead of night, with questions. Questions about an unidentified woman and three girls found dead in barrels in the New Hampshire woods; about a man caught on security footage entering a Brooklyn park with a woman who would later be found murdered, nonchalantly ashing his cigarette on the sidewalk as he leaves, alone; about a mother in Maine whose daughter moved to California and then disappeared.

"Had a little something to do with solving the Golden State Killer case." That's just one humble little line from Paul Holes' Twitter bio. But thanks to the former cold-case investigator and forensic scientist's involvement in one of the biggest true crime cases in recent memory, Holes has developed a loyal cult following, with the fanbase using the #HotForHoles name, and the widely popular My Favorite Murder podcast helping establish him as an unlikely sex symbol, following in the footsteps of past true crime boyfriends, like the legal team from Making a Murderer season one, and the imprisoned man at the center of Serial's first season, Adnan Syed, the latter being a more controversial...

In April 2018, California investigators finally arrested Joseph James DeAngelo – the suspected “Golden State Killer” who committed at least 50 rapes and 13 murders in the 70s and 80s. The decades-old case was solved using GEDmatch, the genealogy website that hosts a free database of users’ DNA. Now, that avenue to crime solving is no longer available. On Saturday, GEDmatch updated its terms of service to exclude all 1.2 million users’ DNA kits from being compared to those uploaded by law enforcement unless users specifically opt in.
