In this episode of This Podcast Counts as Socializing, we dive into the shocking reality that nearly half of all murders in the U.S. go unsolved. We explore the factors that contribute to low homicide clearance rates, including law enforcement resource allocation, victim demographics, and crime reporting inconsistencies. Using real cases and expert insights, we break down the statistics, systemic biases, and investigative challenges that allow some killers to evade capture. Plus, we examine the methods used by infamous criminals to avoid detection and why some cases receive more attention than others. Disclaimer: We do not condone murder—please don’t kill anyone!
