Morgan Metzer

Author: Emash Digital & Mike Ferguson, Mike Morford November 2, 2025 Duration: 51:59

On New Year's Eve, 2020, Morgan Metzer was at her best friend's house, where she had been planning to celebrate the new year. She was feeling tired and decided to call it an early night. She drove home in Cherokee County, Georgia, got into bed, and quickly fell asleep. In the middle of the night, when she opened her eyes, she saw the shadow of a man standing in her bedroom doorway.

Join Mike and Morf as they discuss Morgan Metzer. Morgan was attacked in her home by a masked man dressed all in black. The man spoke to her, but in a disguised voice. All Morgan could think about was her children and living to see them again. Morgan survived, and during the investigation into her attack, the police identified an unlikely suspect.

Criminology is an Emash Digital production hosted by Mike Ferguson and Mike Morford. 


Each Saturday night, the details of history's most infamous crimes are unpacked and examined in Criminology. Hosts Mike Ferguson and Mike Morford move beyond the headlines to explore the full scope of a single case, from the initial events and investigation to the lasting impact and unanswered questions. Their approach is thorough, presenting the facts and narratives that have defined these well-known stories, yet they avoid sensationalism in favor of a clear-eyed analysis. You'll hear a methodical reconstruction of each episode's subject, providing context and perspective that goes deeper than a standard retelling. This true crime podcast is built for those who appreciate a detailed narrative, released consistently every weekend. The result is a engaging and thoughtful examination of criminal history, one famous case at a time. Tune in for a comprehensive dive into the annals of crime, where the focus is on understanding the how and why behind the stories we think we already know.
