Police in the US are making their own true crime podcasts

Police departments in the US are increasingly producing their own true crime podcasts to solve cold cases. From a California podcast that helped capture a fugitive murderer to an Illinois podcast that led to the discovery of a body missing for decades, these shows aim to reach wider audiences and generate new tips. While some departments lack resources, experts believe the trend will grow as younger officers embrace the medium.
