While You’re Twisting, I’m Still Screaming: The Tragic Story of Mia Zapata

We Saw the Devil is the podcast that refuses to separate murder from power, violence from policy, and crime from the systems that create it. Hosted by Robin, a veteran true crime researcher and political commentator, We Saw the Devil digs into the cases that expose the rot at the heart of American institutions. This isn't your typical true crime podcast. We don't just ask "who did it" — we ask who allowed it, who covered it up, who profited, and whose bodies are always the ones that end up in the ground. From serial killers protected by police to political violence disguised as law enforcement, from cold cases buried by corruption to state-sanctioned murder carried out in broad daylight — We Saw the Devil connects the dots between crime, politics, and power that other podcasts won't touch.  What makes this show different: <ul><li>Every case exists within systems — police departments, courts, prisons, immigration enforcement, political machines. We examine those systems.</li><li>Cases others won't cover. Police killings. Political assassinations. Government-adjacent violence. Crimes committed by the powerful against the powerless.</li><li>Deep research, not just Wikipedia. Court documents. FOIA requests. Original interviews. First-person sources. We do the work.</li><li>No cop worship. We respect victims and survivors. We don't lionize law enforcement or assume the official story is true.</li><li>Intersections of crime and politics. How true crime and political crime overlap: corruption, cover-ups, state violence, and the bodies left behind.</li></ul>Episodes cover: <ul><li>Cold cases and unsolved murders</li><li>Serial killers and the systems that enabled them</li><li>Police violence and law enforcement killings</li><li>Political crimes and government corruption</li><li>Missing and murdered Indigenous women (MMIW)</li><li>Immigration enforcement and border deaths</li><li>Wrongful convictions and prosecutorial misconduct</li><li>Historical true crime with modern political resonance</li><li>Breaking cases with political dimensions</li></ul>If you believe that true crime isn't just entertainment, that understanding violence means understanding power...this is your podcast.
