We shine a light on what's been under-investigated, under-covered, or both — diving deep into unsolved homicides, disappearances, and unidentified John and Jane Does. Through interviews with law enforcement, forensic experts, victim advocates, and families, we investigate what happened and why these cases remain unsolved. We dig into current issues in forensic science, DNA evidence, and criminal justice — and confront the disparities that leave underrepresented victims, including those lost to serial killers, without headlines or justice. Every episode is victim-centered, not drama-driven. Real cases. Real families. Real justice.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-24T16:19:24.997859+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-fall-line-true-crime-743297"},"episode":{"title":"Phenix City: The Murder of Eric Nelams","slug":"phenix-city-the-murder-of-eric-nelams","published_at":"2025-12-03T08:51:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-fall-line-true-crime-743297/phenix-city-the-murder-of-eric-nelams","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-fall-line-true-crime-743297","url":"https://6c33709f-f1d3-4d47-9c69-8f8a086eefba.libsyn.com/phenix-city-the-murder-of-eric-nelams","audio_url":"https://pscrb.fm/rss/p/dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/mgln.ai/e/1184/traffic.libsyn.com/secure/6c33709f-f1d3-4d47-9c69-8f8a086eefba/TFL_24-4_Eric_Nelams_P1_Fixed.mp3?dest-id=4069896","summary":"Army veteran and father Eric Nelams, 32, was shot and killed outside his Phenix City, Alabama home on September 26, 2003. Multiple suspects ambushed Eric in his carport while he was leaving for work in what police believe was a planned attack. Twenty-two years later, Eric's murder remains unsolved.
