A Simpler Time True Crime

I’m Megan, your host, and each week I revisit unsolved cases from decades past—stories that have too often been forgotten or overlooked. Together, we examine the facts, question the myths of “the good old days,” and ask whether a simpler time was ever really a safer one.
This podcast honors the people at the heart of each case—focusing not on sensationalism, but on the lives affected and the justice still waiting to be served.

House of Horrors: The Disappearance of Martha Martinez Maxwell

A 41-year-old Texas woman is trapped in a violent marriage. After barely surviving a previous attack, she gains distance and the hope of a fresh start. But slowly he lures her back into his web. And then one day, she vanishes. Her family receives a letter from her stating she’s leaving her husband, but they grow suspicious when they don’t hear from her. Her husband was uncooperative and maintained that she just up and left the family. It would take nearly two decades and the abduction of another woman for the world to see just how evil he really was. And while his wife’s case remains unresolved, one question lingers—how many more are still out there?
