Last updated: April 2026
Welcome to True Crime Advocate (truecrimeadvocate.com). By accessing or using this website, you agree to be bound by these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.
About This Site
True Crime Advocate is a true crime podcast discovery and case information platform. We curate podcast content and organise it alongside case information to help listeners find relevant episodes. We do not produce podcast content. All podcast audio, descriptions, and artwork remain the property of their respective creators and publishers.
Use of Content
The case information, summaries, and editorial content on this site are provided for informational and educational purposes only. They do not constitute legal advice, professional opinion, or official records. While we make reasonable efforts to ensure accuracy, case details can change as investigations progress, new evidence emerges, and legal proceedings conclude. We cannot guarantee that all information is current or complete at all times.
You may browse, share links to, and reference content on this site for personal, non-commercial purposes. You may not reproduce, republish, or redistribute substantial portions of our content without prior written permission. You may not scrape, crawl, or use automated tools to extract data from this site beyond what is permitted by our robots.txt file.
Podcast Content
Podcast episodes accessible through this site are hosted by third-party providers. We provide links and playback functionality as a convenience. We do not control and are not responsible for the content, accuracy, opinions, or availability of any podcast episode. Playback of podcast audio is governed by the terms and policies of the respective podcast host and publisher.
Podcast Recommendations
Our podcast recommendation features are provided as a convenience to help you discover shows from our curated catalogue. Recommendations may not always perfectly match your preferences and do not constitute an endorsement of any podcast’s content, viewpoints, or accuracy.
Case Information and Sensitivity
This site contains descriptions of violent crimes, including murder, sexual assault, kidnapping, and other disturbing subject matter. Content is presented with respect for victims and their families, in line with our “Voices for the Victims” ethos.
We use a victim-centric naming approach wherever possible. Case statuses (cold, active, solved) reflect our best understanding based on publicly available information and are updated periodically. A case listed as “cold” or “active” does not imply any person mentioned in connection with the case is guilty of any offence.
All persons described as suspects, accused, or charged are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law. Where a person has been acquitted, we note this in the case record.
Intellectual Property
The True Crime Advocate name, branding, site design, original editorial content, and the systems, methods, and processes used to operate this site are the property of the site operator and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws. Podcast names, artwork, and audio content are the property of their respective owners. Case information is compiled from publicly available sources.
You may not copy, reverse-engineer, or attempt to replicate any aspect of this site’s design, functionality, or underlying systems without prior written permission.

When using this site, you agree not to use the site for any unlawful purpose, not to attempt to interfere with the site’s operation or security, not to misrepresent information obtained from this site as official legal or law enforcement records, and not to use any automated means to access or extract data from this site.
Disclaimer of Warranties
This site is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied.
