Joann Katrinak and her infant son, Alex, went missing on the afternoon of December 15th, 1994. Joann’s vehicle with the carseat still inside was found early on December 16th in a parking lot a few hundred yards from her home. Months passed with no answers, but on April 9th, 1995, a farmer in Heidelberg Township found a body, and then investigators found a second body nearby. The bodies were identified as Joann and Alex Katrinak.  Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss Patricia Rorrer. Patricia Rorrer was Joann's husband's ex-girlfriend. The authorities zeroed in on her, and the evidence mounted. The prosecution based its case on hair and DNA evidence from the crime scene. Patricia has spent almost 30 years appealing her conviction, arguing that the DNA evidence was not sufficient for a conviction.

For those drawn to the darker corners of human nature, True Crime All The Time offers a thorough and engaging deep dive. Hosts Mike Ferguson and Mike Gibson approach each case with a balance of meticulous research and conversational ease, building a narrative that is both comprehensive and compelling. Their coverage spans a deliberate spectrum, from the obscure cases that rarely make headlines to the infamous figures they term the "Big Timers," ensuring a fresh perspective even on the most well-trodden stories. The tone of this podcast is a key part of its appeal; while the subject matter is treated with the gravity it deserves, the hosts' dynamic avoids melodrama, creating a space that feels more like a detailed discussion between knowledgeable friends. Listeners will find themselves immersed in the granular details of investigations and courtroom dramas, but also in the psychological and societal questions that linger long after the facts are presented. It’s this commitment to the full story-the how, the why, and the often-overlooked context-that defines the experience. Produced by Emash Digital, the series fits within broader explorations of society and culture, using true crime as a lens to examine deeper truths. If you're looking for a show that respects the complexity of its stories without resorting to sensationalism, this is a consistently solid choice.
