The Fall Line: True Crime is a podcast with a mission. Its hosts hope to identify every John and Jane Doe. They also want to see cold cases solved and families reunited. The host of the show is Laurah Norton. She is the author of Lay Them to Rest, an exploration of forensics and cold case investigations. Brooke Hargrove is the cocreator of the show and conducts field interviews. She is a licensed professional counselor in private practice.

The state of Georgia is the setting for early episodes. The title The Fall Line refers to the geologic boundary that marks the beginning of the coastal plain. The podcast begins with a six-part reexamination of the Millbrook twins' disappearance. In 1990, fifteen-year-old Dannette and Jeannette disappeared while walking home from a gas station. The initial police investigation was haphazard and incomplete. With the help of the podcast, the twins' family raised $10,000 in reward money.

Through the podcast, Norton brings attention to unsolved mysteries and murders. An episode series tells the story of the Bennett siblings, who disappeared in 1989. "The Grady Babies Kidnappings" explores the disappearance of seven newborns from a hospital. Two of the babies remain missing.

The Fall Line also celebrates solved cases. An investigator's persistence leads to a Jane Doe's identification. LeRyan Nicholson went missing in 1998. His sisters solved his case. Norton also talks to forensic anthropologists who work to solve cold cases. If new information emerges, Norton is sure to let her audience know.

The Fall Line: True Crime exemplifies everything that makes true crime compelling. There is no macabre fascination with human suffering. Rather, Norton and Hargrove humanize the missing and their families. Their deep respect and desire to see justice done infuses every episode.
