Hey Coffee and Crimers, I’m your host Belle. Grab your cup of coffee and dive into the world of true crime. Here on a Cup of Coffee and Crime, you’ll find cases that range from the familiar and haunting to the lesser-told and puzzling.
I focus on victim-centred stories, guided by detailed research and a commitment to accuracy. There’s no sensationalism here, just thoughtful storytelling that honours the truth and the people at its heart.
New episodes are released from time to time rather than on a regular schedule. Whether you're discovering the podcast for the first time or revisiting old favourites, I hope each case leaves you with a deeper understanding of the people at its heart and why their voices deserve to be remembered. Join me as we explore mysteries, uncover hidden truths and examine real cases that remind us that understanding crime isn't about fear. It's about awareness, compassion and remembering those whose voices must never be forgotten.

The Murdered Couple & the Missing Baby: Dean and Tina Clouse
In 1980, Dean and Tina Clouse left Florida with their baby daughter, Holly, to start a new life in Texas.
Then they vanished.
Their families were eventually told the young couple had joined a religious group, given away their possessions and no longer wanted any contact. Heartbreaking as it was, there seemed to be little reason to believe otherwise.
But forty years later, advances in forensic genetic genealogy uncovered a devastating truth.
Dean and Tina hadn't chosen to disappear.
They had been murdered.
What followed was an investigation filled with twists that almost seem too unbelievable to be true. Women dressed in white. An unidentified baby. A religious group known as the Christ Family. And a mystery that, even after four decades, still isn't completely solved.
In this episode, I explore one of the most remarkable cold cases I've ever researched, and the extraordinary chain of events that reunited a family after more than forty years, while leaving one haunting question unanswered.

One Last Cup of Coffee
After three and a half years, Cup of Coffee and Crime has come to an end. As a completely independent podcast, every case has been researched, written, recorded, edited and produced by me alone. It's been a labour of love, but it's also become more than I can realistically carry alone. Before I step away, though, I wanted to say a proper thank you to everyone who has listened, supported the show and been part of this journey, so If you've ever spent part of your week with me, I'd love it if you joined me one last time.

The Girl Who Never Existed: Treva Throneberry
For years, a teenage runaway named Brianna Stewart found kindness wherever she went. Families took her in. Friends loved her. Teachers believed her. She even graduated high school.
Then one routine fingerprint check changed everything.
Because Brianna Stewart never existed.
This week, we're exploring the extraordinary true story of Treva Throneberry, one of the most baffling identity deception cases in true crime history.
