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.

Yeahsureokay478 ,

One of the best.

I happen to adore Laurah’s comforting voice but more importantly, the care she and her team take with each case they cover. They’re doing the hard, important work and making a real difference while doing it. I’ve been a huge fan since the start.

Top notch ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Laurah brings empathy, humility, and expert research to each case she covers. It’s truly another level of true crime podcasting. This is the kind of show that the genre needs right now. -tz

aMeghanMoment ,

Such a great podcast!

I’m not even from this region of the US but I greatly appreciate the attention to detail and heart for the victims.
