Episode 88 - When the Internet Thinks It’s the Police
At some point, true crime stopped being something we watched…
And became something we tried to solve.
In Episode 88 of Co-op Chronicles, Blacklabel, Geisha, and Azzilee explore the rise of online sleuth culture, from Reddit detectives and TikTok investigators to real cases where the internet helped track criminals… and others where it caused real harm.
We break down how digital communities identified Luka Magnotta, the devastating misidentification of Sunil Tripathi after the Boston Marathon bombing, and the viral frenzy surrounding Gabby Petito and Bryan Kohberger.
But this episode isn’t just about cases.
It’s about psychology.
Why are we so drawn to solving crimes online?
When does awareness turn into interference?
And as AI and social media grow more powerful… where should the line be?
This is a thoughtful, balanced conversation about digital justice, responsibility, and the uncomfortable space between curiosity and harm.
If you’ve ever followed a viral case in real time... this episode is for you.
