Tales of true crime defy the imagination in the sprawling expanse of Texas, where the mythical shadows of oil, cowboys, and cattle loom as large as the state itself.

What is it about Texas that makes it the epicenter of some of the world’s most bizarre and perplexing criminal acts? What festers in the underbelly of Texas' vibrant facade?
Peabody Award-winning Investigative reporter Robert Riggs takes listeners across the state’s diverse landscape, into the hearts and minds of those who pursue justice, and into the psyche of evil.
Riggs peels back the layers of the criminal mind with chilling precision and delves deep into the grim realities of criminal cases that have left suffering and emotional scars across communities.
