À propos de ce contenu audio

 I’m Megan, your host, and each week I revisit unsolved cases from decades past—stories that have too often been forgotten or overlooked. Together, we examine the facts, question the myths of “the good old days,” and ask whether a simpler time was ever really a safer one.
This podcast honors the people at the heart of each case—focusing not on sensationalism, but on the lives affected and the justice still waiting to be served.

    • The Judge Is More Worried About The Dog Than Me: The Murder of Galina Komar

      The Judge Is More Worried About The Dog Than Me: The Murder of Galina Komar
      Jan 18 2026
      “There is no actual physical injury, is there, other than some bruising? I am not suggesting that bruising is nice, but there is no disfigurement. There are no broken bones. There are no serious physical injuries, are there?”Those words were spoken by Criminal Court Judge Lorin Duckman at a bail hearing for the man who had been relentlessly stalking and abusing Galina Komar. Galina was present in the courtroom that day, forced to listen as the severity of what had been done to her was minimized. At one point she would note that the judge was more concerned about the placement of her stalker’s dog than he was about her life. Three weeks later, she would be dead. With January marking National Stalking Awareness Month, this episode does not only revisit the injustice of Galina’s case, it examines the ripple effects her murder had across New York City, exposing deep failures in how stalking and domestic violence were treated at the time. Galina’s death set off political infighting at the highest levels, and as the debate played out, a grim pattern continued to emerge: women being targeted by former partners kept being killed.If you need help with stalking, contact the National Center for Victims of Crime Helpline (800-FYI-CALL), the National Domestic Violence Hotline (800-799-SAFE), or the VictimConnect Resource Center (1-855-4-VICTIM)Case suggestions: simplertimecrimepod@gmail.comIG: @simplertimecrimepodYoutube: https://youtube.com/@simplertimecrimepod?si=OlCWQ2Ky8qFaof02TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@simplertimecrimep?_t=8s31x9iCrNv&_r=1Music By Universfield: https://pixabay.com/music/mystery-dramatic-atmosphere-with-piano-and-violin-143149/Thumbmail art: Lauren Kelty, host of True Crime BFF PodcastSource Material:https://www.newspapers.com/article/daily-news-galina-1/188867530/https://www.newspapers.com/article/daily-news-crazed-stalker-12/188868824/https://www.newspapers.com/article/newsday-no-way-out/188868951/https://www.newspapers.com/article/daily-news-stalker-22/188869239/https://www.newspapers.com/article/daily-news-ex-by-shoots-kills-self/188869480/https://www.newspapers.com/article/newsday-deadly-passion/188869537/https://www.newspapers.com/article/daily-news-freed-to-kill/188871135/https://www.newspapers.com/article/daily-news-judge-freed-him-to-kill/188874467/https://www.newspapers.com/article/daily-news-moms-record-of-abuse-and-orde/188874662/https://www.newspapers.com/article/newsday-more-care-about-the-dog/188875210/https://www.newspapers.com/article/daily-news-funeral-and-limitations-of-dv/188875324/https://www.newspapers.com/article/daily-news-transcript-and-outrage-22/188876814/https://www.newspapers.com/article/daily-news-statements-from-ex-gfmore-on/188877181/https://www.newspapers.com/article/daily-news-additional-botched-cases/188877413/https://www.newspapers.com/article/daily-news-previous-mishandlings-and-com/188877846/https://www.newspapers.com/article/daily-news-op-ed-piece/188877923/https://www.newspapers.com/article/daily-news-op-ed-piece/188877923/https://www.newspapers.com/article/daily-news-top-judge-wont-bench-duckman/188878060/https://www.newspapers.com/article/daily-news-gov-would-bolster-das/188878123/https://www.newspapers.com/article/daily-news-rudy-g-asks-gov-to-oust-judge/188878206/https://www.newspapers.com/article/daily-news-the-quack-ducks-the-heat/188879161/https://www.newspapers.com/article/daily-news-two-sides-to-the-right-to-app/188879597/https://www.newspapers.com/article/daily-news-cried-for-galina-12/188879829/https://www.newspapers.com/article/daily-news-other-duckman-opinion-22/188879940/https://www.newspapers.com/article/daily-news-opin-piece/188880009/https://www.newspapers.com/article/daily-news-3-cases/188880210/https://www.newspapers.com/article/daily-news-update-on-duckman/188880420/https://www.newspapers.com/article/daily-news-da-or-judges-fault/188880626/https://www.newspapers.com/article/daily-news-list-of-cases/188880917/https://www.newspapers.com/article/daily-news-eva-rosenthal/188880972/https://www.newspapers.com/article/daily-news-paper-protection/188881247/https://www.newspapers.com/article/daily-news-curbing-domestic-violence/188882799/https://www.newspapers.com/article/daily-news-mom-rips-duckman/188882983/https://www.newspapers.com/article/daily-news-benched/188883146/https://www.newspapers.com/article/daily-news-cops-death-a-mystery/189191073/https://www.newspapers.com/article/daily-news-valdes-murder/189193232/https://www.stalkingawareness.org/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/a-simpler-time-true-crime--6665681/support.

    • The Answers Died With Him: The Unsolved Murder of Cynthia and Heather Johnson

      The Answers Died With Him: The Unsolved Murder of Cynthia and Heather Johnson
      Jan 12 2026
      I want to be transparent about this case from the start. While it is technically unsolved, there is a strong and consistent understanding of who is responsible. This is less a whodunit and more an opportunity to walk through our criminal justice system and examine how, over the course of decades, one man was able to manipulate outcomes in his favor. Shorter sentencing, public sympathy, and ultimately a lack of meaningful consequences. It is also a reminder that even when answers seem to form almost immediately, accountability and justice can remain painfully out of reach. One reality that is not always discussed in the true crime space is that families often know, deep down, who is responsible. They are left to live with that certainty while watching that person remain free. Today I am sharing a case like that. Because even when a case is positioned to never be officially solved, the identities of the victims are not erased. Their lives mattered, and their story still deserves to be told.

    • The Day It Was To Finalize: The Unsolved Abduction of Deborah McKneely

      The Day It Was To Finalize: The Unsolved Abduction of Deborah McKneely
      Jan 5 2026
      A fifth grader comes home from school in 1991 expecting to see his mother but instead is greeted by an empty home and a terrifying scene. Everything from the home pointed to foul play for the mother. Other clues made it seem like aspects had been staged to make the scene look like something that it wasn’t. On the day of Deborah’s disappearance, she was supposed to be meeting with her husband to finalize their divorce. And while that may seem like suspicious timing, he has always maintained his innocence and nobody has ever been charged in her case and her body has never been found. In the years after her disappearance, her mother would tell the papers that she would hear the voice of her daughter telling her not to give up. And with her mothers passing, that quest has been passed down to her brothers. Answers in Deborah’s case are long overdue, so that a family and community can heal.
