In this episode, Dave and Steve take you behind the scenes of the real-life investigative process, walking step by step through what it’s like to be a detective working on a case. From the moment the call comes out or the file lands on their desk, they break down how investigations unfold in the real world.
Follow along as they respond to the scene, work with CSI to process evidence, identify and develop suspects, and dive into interviews and interrogations. They touch on reports, warrants, subpoenas, and everything that needs to happen before a case is finally submitted to the prosecutor to decide whether charges are filed.
They also explore the frustrating side of the job—when the investigative process fights back. Whether it’s cold cases that go quiet, outside pressure from the public or media, or simply hitting a dead end, not every case wraps up neatly like in the movies.
This is what real detective work looks like. No scripts. No shortcuts. Just the process.
