All of which gives him a confluence of expertise and experience to bring to true crime fanatics.

He is the exec-producer, writer and host of the #1 true-crime podcast franchise Paper Ghosts, and now Crossing the Line with M. William Phelps, an ongoing, weekly podcast diving deeply into murder, missing people and unsolved, cold case cases rarely covered.

Phelps has consulted on over 350 hours of true-crime television, executive-produced documentaries, and weekly series. Having written 7 books about them, he is a highly sought-after expert and speaker for his extensive knowledge regarding historic and contemporary serial killers—and the psychology shaping the mind of the murderer.

When a young college student’s car was abandoned on the side of a busy midwest highway in 1992, police figured it was a runaway case. Nine days later, she was found brutally murdered, nearly 500 miles away. In season 3 of PAPER GHOSTS, investigative journalist and New York Times bestselling true crime author M. William Phelps digs deep into the murder of Tammy Jo Zywicki and uncovers a murky police investigation, a pool of new suspects, and a community of people still desperate for answers.
