Crawlspace - True Crime & Mysteries
Crawlspace Media
Crawlspace is where crime meets culture.We host interesting conversations about unsolved murders, serial killers, cold cases and paranormal activity. We go beyond entertainment as we dig deeper to tell stories of crimes, vanished people, and injustices. Our guests include survivors, authors, journalists, podcasters, advocates, and educators. Starting in 2017 with a deep dive into the disappearance of Brianna Maitland, Crawlspace is hosted by Tim Pilleri & Lance Reenstierna of the Missing Maura Murray and Missing podcasts. Frequent topics include unsolved murders like the JonBenét Ramsey case, wrongful convictions like John Giuca, serial killers like the Zodiac killer, Christopher Wilder, and Jeffrey Dahmer. We speak with experts in criminal psychology like Dr Michelle Ward, survivors like Jane Boroski, and even Satanist Lucien Greaves. But we also have a lighter side where we discuss ghosts and paranormal activity, weird cryptids like Bigfoot and Mothman, and fun mysteries like the dolls found in a Michigan couple’s mailbox.Authors like Jon Ronson, Rabia Chaudry, and Daniel Stone have joined us and we’ve even spoken with familiar names in comedy and entertainment like Melissa Rivers, Patrick Hinds, and Dave Holmes.Crawlspace is a Crawlspace Media production.

333 // Aurora w/ Kerrie Droban
Welcome to Crawlspace. In this episode, Tim Pilleri & Lance Reenstierna have a fascinating and thought-provoking conversation with author and attorney Kerrie Droban. With numerous appearances and interviews on national television and radio shows, Kerrie has established herself as an expert on motorcycle gangs and the pathology of the criminal mind.Kerrie’s new book “Aurora” was written alongside Dr. Lynne Fenton, who was James Holmes’s psychiatrist just months before Holmes entered a packed movie theater in Aurora Colorado and opened fire, killing 12 people and severely wounding over 70. “Aurora” is a riveting glimpse into the attack, the aftermath, the first-responders and the tenuous relationship between doctor and patient.
