Prey Tell

About Prey Tell

PREY TELL is a true crime podcast built with the belief that the victim is the story, not the sensationalized predator. Every victim has a story to tell, and that story deserves to be told. The naming of Prey Tell is a nod to the victims. Calling someone prey is what victims are reduced to when our society and legal system labels them as a case number and neglects to remember the real human suffering. My intention is to help reclaim that word for every victim. Because in every episode, I’ll examine a case and hunt for the truth. New episodes drop every week. You can subscribe now wherever you get your podcasts, and find the show across social media platforms @preytellpodcast.

It’s something ...

   University of Alabama Huntsville Shooting

   February 12, 2010 was a chilly day in Huntsville, Alabama. It was unusually cold and hovering in the mid 30s. Huntsville is known as the rocket city. It’s where NASA and the space program were born and where many aerospace companies call home. Instead of heading to the space center, this story takes place at the University of Alabama in Huntsville in an ordinary conference room with professors. It’s a run-of-the-mill meeting that quickly turned fatal. By the end of that meeting, three profess...

   Murder of Sarah Geer

   The town of Cloverdale, California sits at the northern end of Sonoma County’s wine country. Way back on May 23, 1982 it was warm, although the heat from peak daytime had worn off by the evening. Sarah Geer left her friend’s house and set off walking downtown. She was a child and only thirteen-years-old at the time. She had no way of knowing she wouldn’t come home that night, and she would never make it to the eighth grade. Sarah was brutally raped and murdered by an unknown man i...
