We explore one of the world’s most thorough indexes of Doe cases: Unidentified Wiki--and speak with its creator, who hadn’t finished high school when he began to compile information on both the most well-known and the most obscure cases of the unidentified in the United States and beyond. Armchair detectives and experts alike use his site to trade information and seek the identities of John and Jane Does past and present, hoping to match a missing persons case to a listing carefully gathered into the Encyclopedia of the Unidentified.

Timica James promised local authorities that she would keep her family from conducting their own investigation into the death of her son, Moses “Fat Man” Williams Jr., if local authorities solved his case within ten years; on February 5th 2022, that date will pass, with Moses’ murder still unsolved. 

In part two of our deep dive into the life and death of Moses Williams Jr, and the far-reaching effects his murder has had on his family and community, we look at how much is known about Moses’ possible killers--and what it may take to resolve his case.

On Super Bowl Sunday, 2012, a gunshot rang out across the darkened streets of Aiken, SC--and 19-year-old Moses “Fat Man” Williams Jr., a popular former high-school football star, slumped in the driver’s seat of his car.Though his girlfriend and her sister were no more than a hundred feet away, and he was parked in a busy neighborhood, no one could—or would—say who’d shot the young father, who worked seven days a week to support his family. But his mother, Timica James, was determined to find out.

What causes people to become killers?

KILLER PSYCHE is a true crime podcast from Wondery that covers high-profile cases that shocked the world. Host Candice Delong uses her experience as a clinical psychiatric nurse and FBI Criminal Profiler to dissect the motivations and behaviors of the most terrifying criminals in history. In a recent episode, Candice explores the case of Pedro Rodrigues Filho, also known as The Brazilian Dexter. Rodrigues went on to murder, by his count, more than 100 people -- most of them while he was behind bars. To many, he was a hero -- a vigilante seeking justice for victims. But to others, he was just a cold-blooded murderer.

This is just a preview of Killer Psyche, but you can listen to the full episode at http://wondery.fm/KP_TheFallLine

In over a century’s worth of investigation into the unsolved murders attributed to the unknown killer called “Jack the Ripper,” little real attention has been paid to the five canonical victims--they’ve been treated as objects for dissection, not human beings with full lives.

 Author and historian Hallie Rubenhold, who published The Five in 2019 and is releasing the podcast Bad Women: The Ripper Retold with Pushkin, aims to change that narrative, and question why we’ve been so comfortable with it, and its implications, all along.

The identification of the Lyon County Jane Doe as Wilma June Nissen was only the first step in unraveling a complex crime; once her identity was known, investigators began to piece together who had left her in a ditch along Iowa’s Highway 182, in 1978--and why.

During the 1-900 number craze of the Nineties, one company provided the vast majority of phone sex. American Telnet was an empire founded by the man who called himself “The Telephone Pimp.” He ran the company “like General Motors” and got filthy rich doing it. But for the (mostly) women who answered the calls and delivered fantasies 24-7, it was a different story. The powerful stigma against sex work was always lurking just beneath the surface, until it threatened to tear apart the whole company. Hosted by Tina Horn (Why Are People Into That?), OPERATOR is an eight-part series about big ambitions, Shakespearean-level corporate backstabbing, men and women at the cutting edge of a technological revolution...and on the front lines of a sexual one.

 In October of 1978, when the body of an unknown woman was discovered off a highway in rural Iowa, local authorities had no idea it would take 28 years to identify the victim—or that her identification would also connect them to a daughter, determined to solve her mother’s murder.
