Our Editor's Take

Culpable is a true crime podcast about a case where justice was not served. The show focuses on the murder of Christian Andreacchio. In 2014, police found Andreacchio dead. The cause of death was a gunshot wound. After a brief tour of his apartment, the police chose not investigate further. They concluded that Christian had killed himself and closed the case.

But there were many things that didn't add up. Evidence suggested this was not only a homicide but a planned attack. When Christian's mother began investigating herself, it became clear that the police had missed a lot of evidence. The case began trending on social media.

Culpable explores the evidence the police compiled to discover the truth. It also contains interviews with friends and family members who knew the victim well. The podcast provides background on who Christian was. It examines why his family strives for justice.

The podcast's host, Dennis Cooper, makes his podcasting debut with Culpable. Cooper has a passion for true crime and writing. When presented with the opportunity to help Christian's family tell their story, he felt compelled to take it on.

Culpable is ultimately a podcast about seeking restorative justice. It is about attempting to find the truth when those who are there to help have failed. Listeners will discover a powerful tale about a mother's love for her son. Episodes run between 30 minutes to one hour in length. All episodes of Culpable are available now on Amazon Music.
