Crime Incident

About Crime Incident

Crime Incident is a true crime podcast about murder investigations and the evidence they actually rest on. Each Crime Incident episode rebuilds one case from the record: the police investigation as it really unfolded, the forensic evidence and the DNA that held up, the witness testimony that quietly fell apart, and what a jury finally decided. Some cases end in a verdict. Others end in an appeal, an exoneration, or a case file that has stayed open for forty years. The catalog runs from famous murder trials to disappearances almost nobody covered. A missing person hunted as a suspect while his own body lay one floor above the crime scene. A killer caught by an embossed emblem on an envelope. A confession that arrived decades too late. A DNA profile matched to a phantom who never existed. Murders closed by forensic genetic genealogy, and murders where detectives are still asking for tips today. Three rules hold in every Crime Incident episode. Confirmed evidence and disputed claims are never blurred together, and you are always told which is which. Victims are treated as people, not as plot devices. And when a case is still unsolved, you get its exact legal status, the reward if there is one, and the number to call. Crime Incident is true crime for people who want the case file, not the rumor. Crime Incident. The record, told straight.

   When Nothing Is the Evidence: The Imbo and Petrone Case

   When Nothing Is the Evidence: The Imbo and Petrone Case Just before midnight on February 19, 2005, Danielle Imbo and Richard Petrone Jr. walked out of a bar on Philadelphia's South Street toward his black Dodge Dakota pickup. Neither of them, nor the truck, has ever been seen again. No phone activity, no bank activity, no toll cameras, no broken glass, no witnesses. How do two adults and a full size pickup vanish from one of the busiest streets in the city without leaving a single trace? And why did that total absence convince the FBI this was no accident? In this episode, we investigate the disappearance of Danielle Imbo and Richard Petrone as the FBI came to see it: a case where the nothing itself is the strongest clue. We follow the cheerful night at Abilene's bar, the last surveillance frame of the couple walking to the truck, the electronic flatline that began at midnight, and the bridge cameras that never saw the Dodge Dakota cross into New Jersey. Then we trace the machine built around the void: the multi agency task force, the murder for hire theory the FBI has pursued since 2008 without ever naming a suspect, the chop shop theory versus the volunteer divers who searched the rivers, and two families who have carried twenty one years of anniversaries with dignity. Person: Danielle Imbo, 34, and Richard Petrone Jr., 35 Date: February 19, 2005 Location: South Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Case: Unsolved double disappearance; investigated by the FBI as a possible murder for hire since 2008 Legal status: No arrests, no charges, no named suspects; the case remains open and active as of the 21st anniversary in 2026, with an FBI reward of up to $15,000 - The last surveillance footage and the walk toward the truck - Zero phone, bank, and toll activity: what 2005 era evidence can and cannot prove - The estranged husband questioned, the alleged threats, and his denial - The task force, the reward, and the FBI's plea for tips The Imbo and Petrone disappearance remains Philadelphia's cleanest vanishing, and someone still knows where the truck went.

   Eighteen Days Before Anyone Asked: The Relisha Rudd Case

   Eighteen Days Before Anyone Asked: The Relisha Rudd Case On March 1, 2014, eight-year-old Relisha Rudd was recorded on motel surveillance walking down a hallway with Kahlil Tatum, the 51-year-old janitor from the D.C. General Family Shelter where she lived. She entered the room and was never seen coming out. Eighteen days passed before police opened an investigation. How does a city with a school system, a child-welfare agency, and a shelter holding 600 children lose one little girl for two and a half weeks? In this episode, we reconstruct the calendar of the Relisha Rudd disappearance day by day: the absence notes signed by a "Dr. Tatum" who never existed, the two-business-day truancy rule that was never triggered, the Home Depot purchases on March 2, the Amber Alert that came only on March 20, and the ten-day manhunt that ended with Tatum dead in a Kenilworth Park shed, never questioned, from the same gun that killed his wife. We weigh the theories with their owners named: the police belief that he killed her, the trafficking question officials both raised and ruled out, and the family's hope that she is still alive. Person: Relisha Tenau Rudd, 8 years old Date: last confirmed sighting March 1, 2014 Location: Washington, D.C. Case: disappearance from the D.C. General Family Shelter; open missing-person and possible-homicide investigation Legal status: no one has ever been charged; the only named suspect, Kahlil Tatum, died on March 31, 2014 before he could be interrogated; MPD reiterated on the 12th anniversary in March 2026 that the case remains open, with an FBI reward of up to $25,000 - Who Relisha was, in the words of the adults who loved her - The grooming of an entire family inside a failing shelter - The 18-day bureaucratic gap, hour by hour, agency by agency - The 2014 city report and the two dozen reforms it forced - Why D.C. General was closed in 2018 and what replaced it The Relisha Rudd case is still open, and somewhere, someone knows what happened after that motel room door closed. Tired of ads?

   Sixty Seconds in the Park: The Dulce Maria Alavez Case

   Sixty Seconds in the Park: The Dulce Maria Alavez Case How does a five year old girl vanish from a public playground in daylight, thirty yards from her mother, with witnesses playing basketball nearby? Why did twenty nine hours pass before New Jersey issued an Amber Alert for a suspected child abduction? And what happens to a case when its only direct eyewitness is a three year old boy? In this episode, we follow the disappearance of Dulce Maria Alavez from Bridgeton City Park in New Jersey on September 16, 2019: the ordinary afternoon that began with ice cream bars, the moment her little brother returned to the car alone and pointed toward the red maintenance sheds, the delayed statewide alert, the two unidentified men in the case file, and the massive investigation that has now turned to artificial intelligence in search of the missing puzzle pieces. Person: Dulce Maria Alavez, age five, of Bridgeton, New Jersey Date: September 16, 2019 Location: Bridgeton City Park, Bridgeton, Cumberland County, New Jersey Case: Missing child, suspected abduction, no arrests Legal status: Open and active investigation; no suspect ever identified or charged; no family member named a suspect - The narrow window at the playground and the account of a three year old, the only direct witness to the taking - The twenty nine hour Amber Alert delay and the question of whether it cost the search its best chance - Two different unidentified men: the suspect description from the alert and the October 2019 sketch of a possible witness - The immigrant community of Bridgeton, the fear of coming forward, and the prosecutor's promise to witnesses - The 2025 artificial intelligence review, the false December 2025 rumor refuted by the prosecutor, and the tip lines that remain open The disappearance of Dulce Maria Alavez remains one of America's most haunting unsolved missing child cases.
