Our Editor's Take

Nic Edwards and Patrick "Captain" Edwards are friends from Columbus, Ohio who love cold beers and cold cases. If you’re a fan of TV’s Unsolved Mysteries or the podcast Crimes and Consequences, prepare to be blown away by True Crime Garage.

Before starting their crime podcast career in 2015, Nic worked in property management and Captain was a banker. The pair saw their opportunity when the Serial podcast, one of the first true crime podcasts of its kind, earned industry-wide acclaim in 2014. They had always been crime junkies at heart, obsessing over and following cold cases on TV and in the newspaper. Seeing the genre's success in podcasting gave Nic and Captain the desire to broadcast their passion for the entertainment of others. Low and behold, True Crime Garage was born!

Nic and Captain tout their true crime podcast for the not-too-serious armchair detectives. They’re around for fun and adventure just as much as they are for gore and scares, which makes this show a perfect blend of fun and fright. The pair explore archived missing persons cases, cold cases, infamous serial killers, and chilling solved cases.

In upholding Nic and Captain’s life advice: "Don’t take yourself too seriously," the pair frequently mix in a beer whilst foraying into the minds of serial killers and cold-blooded murderers. Without requiring a drink for the listener, this podcast always has some light-hearted lessons for fans as they explore this dark-themed genre.

Dominique Dunne  //////  797 Part 1 of 1www.TrueCrimeGarage.comThe night before Halloween attack on Poltergeist movie star Dominique Dunne shocked and surprised both Hollywood and the nation.  Dominique was an up and coming star.  At the young age of twenty two years old she had already found success on both television and the big screen.  Her star was rising but that would be brought to an abrupt end at the hands of a violent monster who was spiraling out of control.  Hands, that unfortunately she knew all too well.  There are many resources available to victims of both stalking and domestic violence.  If you feel you are in imminent danger or are in fear - call 911 immediately! Even when stalking is not related to domestic violence, domestic violence and/or sexual assault service providers are often the right people to contact.  The Victim Connect Resource Center is a referral helpline.  They are available 9AM to 5PM ET by calling 1- 855-4-VICTIMAnd perhaps the best resource is The National Domestic Violence Hotline. They can be reached by texting START to 88788 or by calling 1-800-799-SAFE. But remember if you are in danger - call 911 and please talk to your local law enforcement agency. Beer of the Week - Waiting for October from Track Seven BrewingGarage Grade - 5 out of 5 bottle capsMore True Crime Garage can be found on Patreon and Apple subscriptions with our show - Off The Record.  Catch dozens of episodes of Off The Record plus a couple of Bonus episodes and our first 50 when you sign up today. Have a question or comment about a case?
