Unlawful Acts is a weekly true crime podcast hosted by Susan Davis, offering condensed yet compelling storytelling that dives deep into some of the world’s most fascinating criminal cases. From elusive serial killers to decades-old mysteries, each episode peels back the layers to uncover the truths often left untold.

Gerard Schaefer joined the police force to serve and protect—at least, that’s what he told everyone. He wore the badge, filed the reports, and pulled over young women under the pretense of safety. There was just one problem. He wasn’t there to protect them—he was hunting them. When bodies started turning up, fiction and reality became impossible to separate.

Join host, Susan Davis, every week on Unlawful Acts as she digs into stories just like Gerard's -- ones that look one way on the surface—but reveal something far more sinister underneath. She's not here just to recount crimes. She's here to understand them — one episode at a time. As one listener put it, this is the podcast for people who crave the full story—without the filler.
