  Episode 34 - Kidnapped: Elizabeth Smart

  Aug 17, 20261h 14mS1

  This week on True Crime Tradies, JB and Chris dive into the unbelievable true story of Elizabeth Smart. In 2002, 14-year-old Elizabeth was taken at knifepoint from her bedroom in Salt Lake City while her younger sister lay just feet away. What followed was a nine-month nightmare, a nationwide search, missed opportunities, bizarre suspects and a case that gripped the world. We’re reviewing the documentary Kidnapped: Elizabeth Smart, breaking down the investigation, the warning signs that were missed, the disturbing beliefs of Brian David Mitchell and Wanda Barzee, and the incredible resilience Elizabeth showed throughout her ordeal and in the years since. As always, expect plenty of questions, opinions and the occasional completely inappropriate detour from two tradies who have absolutely no business investigating anything.

  Aug 10, 20261h 30mS1

  Four college students. One off-campus house. A crime that stunned the world.

We break down the timeline of that terrifying night, the investigation that gripped the globe, the mountain of digital evidence that led detectives to Bryan Kohberger, and whether the documentary answers the biggest questions or leaves you with even more. As always, we'll share our thoughts on the documentary itself, discuss what it got right (and wrong), and throw in the usual Tradies banter along the way.

  Episode 31 - The Investigation of Lucy Letby

  Jul 27, 20261h 4mS1

  In this episode of True Crime Tradies, Chris and JB unpack the shocking case of Lucy Letby, the neonatal nurse convicted in one of the most disturbing hospital murder cases in recent memory. What starts as a recap of a Netflix documentary quickly turns into a deep, skeptical discussion of the evidence, the investigation, and the questions still surrounding the case. The hosts walk through the timeline of the deaths, the police searches, the handwritten notes, and the expert testimony that helped shape the trial — while also exploring the later pushback from the defense and those arguing the hospital system itself may have played a role.

  Episode 30 - The Perfect Wife

  Jul 20, 20261h 26mS1

  Unlock the shocking truths of "The Perfect Wife," a case that blurs the lines between deception, mental illness, and manipulation. This episode dives into a story so bizarre it seems straight out of a horror flick—where a woman fakes her kidnapping, endures brutal torture, and manipulates everyone around her, including law enforcement, for years. In this gripping episode, you'll discover how Sherri Papini's fabricated kidnapping spiraled into a multi-year web of lies, injuries, and scandal. We break down the evidence that finally cracked the case: a hidden Pinterest board full of branding tools, DNA from a house that didn’t match her story, and burner phones revealing a meticulous plan. You’ll hear about her traumatic injuries branded into her skin, real and gruesome enough to challenge expectations of crime and deception alike, and how her manipulations extended to her own family, her friends, and the justice system.
