Welcome to Case Closed—the podcast for true crime fans, featuring more than just true crime stories. Whether it's a thriller, a mystery, or a crime—either true or imagined—Case Closed shares stories full of vibrant characters, engrossing details, daring twists, and sweeping suspense.

Our next season is about to launch, and we can’t wait to share this one with you. This time, we’ll be serializing Alex Finlay’s The Night Shift, an electrifying thriller about a pair of small-town murders fifteen years apart—and the ties that bind them. You won’t want to miss this one.

It’s New Year’s Eve 1999. Y2K is expected to end in chaos: planes falling from the sky, elevators plunging to earth, world markets collapsing. A digital apocalypse. None of that happens. But at a Blockbuster Video in New Jersey, four teenagers working late at the store are attacked. Only one inexplicably survives. Police quickly identify a suspect, the boyfriend of one of the victims, who flees and is never seen again.

Fifteen years later, more teenage employees are attacked at an ice cream store in the same town, and again only one makes it out alive.
﻿
In the aftermath of the latest crime, three lives intersect: the lone survivor of the Blockbuster massacre who’s forced to relive the horrors of her tragedy; the brother of the fugitive accused, who’s convinced the police have the wrong suspect; and FBI agent Sarah Keller who must delve into the secrets of both nights—stirring up memories of teen love and lies—to uncover the truth about murders on the night shift.

Twisty, poignant, and redemptive, The Night Shift is a story about the legacy of trauma and how the broken can come out on the other side, and it solidifies Finlay as one of the new leading voices in the world of thrillers.

We’ll release two new episodes every week beginning April 10th! Make sure to subscribe to Case Closed to get notified each week as episodes drop. We don't want you to miss anything. Be sure to listen or download by May 22nd so you can hear the whole story. Can't wait until next week? You can find The Night Shift wherever audiobooks are sold.

Welcome to Case Closed—the podcast for true crime fans, featuring more than just true crime stories. Whether it's a thriller, a mystery, or a crime—either true or imagined—Case Closed shares stories full of vibrant characters, engrossing details, daring twists, and sweeping suspense.
Our next season is about to launch, and we can’t wait to share this one with you. To kick off the year, we’ll be serializing Hayley Scrivenor’s Dirt Creek, a small-town mystery with ‘sharp-edged tempers, accidents waiting to happen, and dark inheritances’. You won’t want to miss this one.
Who's lying about what happened at Dirt Creek?
When twelve-year-old Esther disappears on the way home from school in a small town in rural Australia, the community is thrown into a maelstrom of suspicion and grief. As Detective Sergeant Sarah Michaels arrives in town during the hottest spring in decades and begins her investigation, Esther’s tenacious best friend, Ronnie, is determined to find Esther and bring her home.
When schoolfriend Lewis tells Ronnie that he saw Esther with a strange man at the creek the afternoon she went missing, Ronnie feels she is one step closer to finding her. But why is Lewis refusing to speak to the police? And who else is lying about how much they know about what has happened to Esther?
Punctuated by a Greek chorus, which gives voice to the remaining children of the small, dying town, this novel explores the ties that bind, what we try and leave behind us, and what we can never outrun, while never losing sight of the question of what happened to Esther, and what her loss does to a whole town.

Welcome to a new season of Case Closed. This fall, we’ll be serializing the newest audiobook from Carola Lovering, author of Tell Me Lies. You won’t want to miss Bye, Baby, a “powerful, relatable, and crazily addictive” story.
Every friendship has its shadow...
On a brisk fall night in a New York apartment, 35-year-old Billie West hears terrified screams. It's her lifelong best friend Cassie Barnwell, one floor above, and she's just realized her infant daughter has gone missing. Billie is shaken as she looks down into her own arms to see the baby, remembering—with a jolt of fear—that she is responsible for the kidnapping that has instantly shattered Cassie’s world.
Once fiercely bonded by their secrets, Cassie and Billie have drifted apart in adulthood, no longer the inseparable pair they used to be in their small Hudson Valley hometown. Cassie is married to a wealthy man, has recently become a mother, and is building a following as a lifestyle influencer. She is desperate to leave her past behind—including Billie, who is single and childless, and no longer fits into her world. But Billie knows the worst thing Cassie has ever done, and she will do whatever it takes to restore their friendship…
Told in alternating perspectives in Lovering’s signature suspenseful style, Bye, Baby confronts the myriad ways friendships change and evolve over time, the lingering echoes of childhood trauma, and the impact of women’s choices on their lifelong relationships.

The Four Shots

The trial for the murder of Erin Corwin was over. After deliberating for only 15 minutes, the jurors had come to a unanimous decision: Christopher Lee was guilty. As the decision was announced in the courtroom, Erin’s family and friends felt relieved. The days of gruesome testimony and reliving what had happened had come to a close. For Erin’s family and friends, it was time to move forward. We check in on Erin's family and friends — and learn how her story continues to make an impact.

The End

Christopher Lee’s trial for the first degree murder of Erin Corwin was finally underway, after years of legal maneuvering and delays by the defense. Erin’s friends and family had gone on the stand, and authorities had testified on the evidence the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department had collected. An expert said there was a 1 in 16 billion chance that DNA samples found in the mineshaft where Chris dumped Erin’s body belonged to anyone else. It seemed like the case was closed. But then, something unusual happened. On Thursday, October 27, the defense called their first and only witness: Christopher Lee.

Introducing Unsolved

“That was like a bloody glove, finding that garrote.”
Erin Corwin's story was gaining national attention and media interest. Meanwhile, detectives were still focused on gathering enough evidence before the trial began. As notable witnesses finally took to the stand to testify, Erin's friends and family wondered if the case against Christopher Lee would end in a conviction.

The Trial

Hundreds of volunteers and law enforcement officers spent eight weeks and over 5,000 hours searching for Erin Corwin. In the end, the discovery of Erin’s body at the bottom of a mineshaft in Joshua Tree National Park was a big deal — and not just because the search had been so difficult. Without a body, it would have been almost impossible to convict Erin’s killer. And shortly after she went missing, the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department was almost positive they knew who killed Erin Corwin.

The Suspect

"I was determined — see, I’m the kind of person where I get sent on a mission and I don’t give up. I won't stop until I find her." 
When Erin Corwin went missing, it became clear to the detectives investigating the case that there was foul play — and there was one suspect who quickly rose to the top of their list. But before we get into how exactly Erin died and who killed her, we’re going to skip ahead — to the search for Erin’s body, in the desolate desert setting of Joshua Tree National Park. Because although many murder investigations are somewhat straightforward, the rescue and recovery operation to find Erin Corwin was anything but.

The Search

Erin Corwin had settled into life on the Marine base in Twentynine Palms, California. She and her husband Jon had befriended their neighbors, the Malakies and the Lees, and the three couples had become very close, spending most of their time together. But by the next spring, the relationships between the trio would be changed forever — and by June, Erin would be dead.

The Affair

"Nobody comes to Twentynine Palms on purpose. And they're all there for the same reason."
Erin Corwin had left her family behind and moved to California to join her husband, Jon, on the military base in Twentynine Palms, a remote town in the Mohave Desert. What was Erin's life like there? Who were the new friends she made? And where did it all go so wrong?

On the last day of her life, Erin Corwin awoke around dawn. She was going to Joshua Tree National Park, where she said she was scouting trails for an upcoming visit with her mother. She took her cell phone, kissed her husband goodbye, and headed off for the day. But Erin would not come back from her trip alive.
Who was Erin Corwin? How did she go from being a sheltered teen from a small town to a Marine wife with so many secrets? And how did she meet such an untimely end?
