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.
The Texas Crime Stories podcast unfurls the grim tapestry of the most confounding and chilling crimes that have scarred the Lone Star State and the Southwestern United States.
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.

The Double Life of Juan David Ortiz: From Border Patrol Agent to Serial Killer
Picture a man you’d trust with your life—a devoted father, a military veteran, a respected supervisor in the U.S. Border Patrol.
Now imagine that same man prowling the streets at night, hunting the most vulnerable, driven by a twisted urge to kill. This is the true story of Juan David Ortiz, a man who wore the badge by day and became a predator by night.
Over the course of twelve terrifying days, Ortiz transformed from a lawman to a serial killer, claiming the lives of four women and leaving a community in shock.
How did a trusted enforcer of the law become the very monster he was sworn to protect us from? In this episode, we dive into the dark duality of a man who hid his evil in plain sight.
