True crime

Welcome back to About Damn Crime on the main feed, where we delve into the human side of the biggest true crime headlines. This week, Rabia, Ellyn, and guests Rebecca Lavoie and Kevin Flynn from the 'Crime Writers On' podcast take on the Karen Read murder trial. Did she run down her police officer boyfriend with her SUV? Her lawyer claims she was framed. From drunken fights to deleted texts and uncooperative witnesses, social media is screaming conspiracy, but we unpack the details to get to the bottom of this case.
Then, we dive into the juicy details of that viral U.S. House Oversight showdown. Seriously, it was like a reality TV marathon—Reps. Jasmine Crockett and Marjorie Taylor Greene went head-to-head, throwing shade and grinding the whole thing to a halt.
Finally, Rabia and Ellyn discuss Sean "Diddy" Combs' cowardly Instagram apology after a video of his assault on Cassie Ventura went viral. Will assault charges follow? Tune in for all this and more on About Damn Crime.

Iconic Emmy Award-winning actor Jon Cryer joins Rabia and Ellyn to uncover the haunting unsolved case of Charlie Chop-Off, an unknown obscure serial killer who terrorized 1970s New York. Jon Cryer, a native New Yorker, shares his childhood experiences growing up amidst the fear that gripped his neighborhood. Between 1972 and 1974, Charlie Chop-Off abducted and murdered four young African American and Hispanic boys, leaving a community in fear. While nobody has ever been found guilty of the murders and the case officially remains open, Rabia and Ellyn analyze the crime's details and determine if the suspect identified by the police is truly responsible for these gruesome crimes.
