Murder: True Crime Stories

Crime House's Murder: True Crime Stories launched in late 2023 and has built a catalog of 168 episodes under host Carter Roy. The show's stated mission is to go beyond the crime scene and focus on the people most affected — the victims, the families, and the communities left dealing with the aftermath. Episodes drop on Tuesdays and Thursdays, with Friday installments covering mysterious cases. In September 2025, the show released "UNSOLVED: JonBenét Ramsey 1," a 42-minute episode that examined how contaminated evidence and critical clues left in plain sight shaped the investigation from the beginning. The framing — that the case's failure to produce a conviction was largely determined in the first hours — is a compelling angle, and it sets up what appears to be a multi-part series examining the investigation's systemic failures rather than just rehashing the timeline. Carter Roy's narration style earns consistent praise in listener reviews, which note his compelling voice and the show's focus on storytelling without excessive commentary or padding. The show carries a 4.6-star rating from over 700 reviewers. Crime House operates a subscription tier through Crime House+, which offers ad-free listening and early access for $5.99 per month. The JonBenet series is relatively recent, which means it incorporates context from the 2024 Netflix documentary and the ongoing push by John Ramsey for new DNA testing. For listeners who want coverage that reflects where the case actually stands in 2025 rather than relitigating the same 2000s-era talking points, this is a strong entry point.
