Hosted by Ben McKenzie (Southland, Gotham). He had an alibi. He didn't have a violent history. And it seemed almost impossible to imagine the crime could have been committed by just one man. But Ronald Trimboli's DNA test, performed in the infancy of DNA testing, was a match. Is it possible he was innocent of the triple murder he was convicted of? IN THE BLOOD presents all the evidence, including evidence jurors were not privy to, and asks you, the audience, for your verdict.
What if you could have a conversation with a serial killer? Sit in a room, across the table from them, hear them tell their story. From the team that brought you “Down the Hill: The Delphi Murders”, comes DEVIANT. A show that explores the people who blow through societies boundaries, the ones who live beyond the margins.
Most recently, hosts Dan and Andrew cover the Hart Family Murders. In 2018, mothers Jennifer and Sarah Hart drove their van off of a cliff, their six adopted children inside. With no survivors, investigators turn to the social media profiles that painted a life of happiness, and also played a role in creating a façade that masked the signs of the tragedy to ensue.
Here is an excerpt from the first episode that covers the Hart Family Murders. You can continue listening to the story and follow Deviant on Apple, Spotify, Amazon Music or any major streaming platform.

Voyage Media Recommends: The Burden
In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname.
Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers (who all say they are innocent!) turned jailhouse-lawyers. In prison they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away. They set out to turn the tables on Scarcella while still in prison. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they would succeed.
Thirty years later, more than 20 people Scarcella helped put away have walked free. In the media he’s the “disgraced detective,” the rogue cop who hoodwinked an entire system.
For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast ... where justice is done (and undone).
