Still Unknown: An Unsolved True Crime Podcast

My name is Joe and I have a true crime obsession. It began as a child when I would watch Unsolved Mysteries and ever since I’ve had such a fascination with cold cases and the unknown. This podcast focuses on unsolved murders, disappearances, and maybe even the paranormal once in a while. In each episode, I dive into a different case explaining as many details as I can find on it, and giving my own theories.
