Jules will return for weekly episodes! While she works behind the scenes on the new episodes, please meet our friends of the podcast. Today's guest, Jasmine from Black Coffee, Crime, & Crochet podcast. 

Daylon Pierce wasn’t your average online dater. He posed as a wealthy stockbroker looking for love… and ended up scamming multiple women out of hundreds of thousands of dollars. In this episode, Jasmine CL Prince unpacks the charming deception, the heartbreak, and the massive financial fraud behind Pierce’s “romance investments.” Plus: iced coffee vibes, a crochet update, and a conversation about why judging scam victims misses the point.

This week on Black Coffee, Crime, and Crochet, we’re sipping Sweet Talker Lattes and stitching our way through the twisted tale of Daylon Pierce, an Arizona-based romance scammer who used dating apps to charm, manipulate, and con multiple women out of hundreds of thousands of dollars. I’m breaking down:

• How Daylon Pierce built his fake financial empire on lies and love-bombing

• The women who trusted him and what they lost

• How he was caught and sentenced

Jules is returning to weekly true crime cases with Your Host Jules True Crime! While she works behind the scenes for the launch, please check out these friends of the podcast with cases which matter. 


On an ordinary winter day in January of 2001, a sixty-eight year old woman set off on a hike with three others. Shortly into the trail, she decided she wasn’t up for the hike and turned around to go back to the park’s lodge area while the other’s carried on to the destination. When the others returned, there was no sign of her, and there hasn’t been ever since. Besides her hiking partners, nobody can confirm she was actually in the park that day. The mysterious nature of her disappearance has led to multiple theories, but to this day none of them have produced any answers.

GUEST EPISODE || CRIME WITH HOLLY || Jordan DeMay's Story and the Dangers of Sextortion

Jordan DeMay's Story and the Dangers of Sextortion

In the summer of 1987, best friends Kevin Ives and Don Henry set out on a late-night hunting trip near Don’s home. Hours later, their bodies were discovered on railroad tracks by a passing train engineer. What was first ruled a tragic accident would soon be called into question as families and investigators began pushing for the truth.

Episode 1 - "Everything's Purple"

Amanda and Alan live in his double-wide trailer in Northern Florida. He is a butcher and she works overnights at a care home. He has two teenagers who often visit and she has a 7 (Adrianna) and a 6 (AJ) year old who share a room. Alan goes to work early and leaves Amanda's kids under the supervision of his son, Alan Jr. When Amanda arrives from work she finds her two kids watching TV alone and Alan Jr fast asleep in his bedroom. But this is where the stories differ...

In 1981, Charlotte Heimann vanished from Rochester, New York just weeks before completing her Ph.D. She’d overcome incredible odds, survived a serious accident, and worked tirelessly toward a better life for herself and her daughter. But just days after telling hospital staff she feared for her safety — Charlotte walked out of the Rochester Psychiatric Center and was never seen again...

A special thank you to Charlotte's granddaughter Shyla for partnering with Jen for today's episode.

Special Guest Episode:
Our friend Holly from the weekly true crime podcast, Crime with Holly, steps in to our feed today to share the story about Michelle Martinko.  Cedar Rapids, Iowa was a safe place to raise a family in 1979.  People trusted their neighbors, left their doors unlocked, and kids played outside until the streetlights came on.  But all of that would change on December 19th, 1979 when 18-year-old Michelle Martinko was brutally stabbed to death.  For 39 years the case would remain unsolved until genetic genealogy helped solve the mystery of who killed Michelle.
