About This Podcast
Trace talks the crime, Kris brings the chaos. Cause of Crime is your weekly dose of detailed true crime breakdowns with a side of “what the hell?” We go deep into the stories that shock, confuse, and stay with you, all while keeping it real, raw, and just a little bit unhinged. From disappearances and unsolved cases to the most jaw-dropping criminal trials, we don't just cover the crime, we unpack the aftermath, the psychology, the failures, and the fallout. No fluff. No glorifying killers. Just the facts, a little banter, and a whole lot of chaos.
