In Season Two of her true crime series, The God Hook, journalist Carol Costello investigates the complex case of the Ohio Craigslist Killings—and in doing so, unearths the untold story of the crimes that preceded the murders—and the victims who’ve never received justice. Richard Beasley was convicted of murdering three men and attempting to kill a fourth in the fall of 2011, but before that heinous spree, authorities were building a human trafficking case against him. Now, working with the case's prosecutor, a county sheriff, and many closely involved sources, Carol examines previously unknown details of Beasley’s alleged crimes, and how he used the God Hook to lure his victims and bend them to his will.
In Season One of this podcast, Blind Rage, journalist Carol Costello revisits the first big assignment she covered as a 22-year-old, novice reporter: Phyllis Cottles’ brutal attack. Psychologists call them “Triumphant Survivors,” but Phyllis Cottle was more than a survivor, she used this crime to better herself and the world around her.

Unlawful Acts is a weekly true crime podcast hosted by Susan Davis, offering condensed yet compelling storytelling that dives deep into some of the world’s most fascinating criminal cases. From elusive serial killers to decades-old mysteries, each episode peels back the layers to uncover the truths often left untold.
Gerard Schaefer joined the police force to serve and protect—at least, that’s what he told everyone. He wore the badge, filed the reports, and pulled over young women under the pretense of safety. There was just one problem. He wasn’t there to protect them—he was hunting them. When bodies started turning up, fiction and reality became impossible to separate.
Join host, Susan Davis, every week on Unlawful Acts as she digs into stories just like Gerard's -- ones that look one way on the surface—but reveal something far more sinister underneath. She's not here just to recount crimes. She's here to understand them — one episode at a time. As one listener put it, this is the podcast for people who crave the full story—without the filler.
