For nearly a decade, host Josh Hallmark has been immersed in the unsettling and complex case of one of America's most methodical serial killers. True Crime Bullsh**: The Israel Keyes Investigation is a deeply researched, serialized exploration that goes far beyond the headlines. This isn't a casual retelling; it's an active investigation. Hallmark meticulously combs through thousands of pages of FBI documents, pores over hours of interrogation footage, and collaborates with forensic experts and law enforcement to piece together a clearer picture of Keyes' movements and motives. The central, driving purpose of this podcast is to bring names and stories to the unidentified and missing individuals who may have crossed paths with Keyes. Listeners are taken along on that painstaking journey, hearing original audio evidence and following each new lead as it emerges. Produced by Studio BOTH/AND, the series unfolds like a documentary, offering a comprehensive and often chilling look into the investigative process itself. It’s a commitment to depth over sensation, focusing on the unanswered questions that still haunt this case years later.
