The trial of Raynella Leath is unlike anything Erin Moriarty has covered before. It all began in 2003 with a frantic call to 911 when Raynella found her second husband David Leath dead of a single gunshot wound and called 911 to report it as a suicide. However, his autopsy said otherwise, and 14 years later, Raynella stood in court for his murder. Hear the beginning of Raynella Leath’s story and how the widow’s web begins to unravel.

Introducing Married to Death from My Life of Crime with Erin Moriarty

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.

True crime

In 2021, we brought you a then little-known story: the unsolved case of Leon Laureles, a beloved brother and uncle who was murdered on the side of a rural Texas highway. Since then, his case has become a focus for cold-case advocates—especially his own niece, Arlene.  At every turn, Arlene has been frustrated in her search for answers, but that hasn’t stopped her. And in the past year, surprising new information has come to light.    Download Two Dots now for free on Android and iOS!
