Summary
 Crime Incident is a true crime podcast about murder investigations and the evidence they actually rest on.

Each Crime Incident episode rebuilds one case from the record: the police investigation as it really unfolded, the forensic evidence and the DNA that held up, the witness testimony that quietly fell apart, and what a jury finally decided. Some cases end in a verdict. Others end in an appeal, an exoneration, or a case file that has stayed open for forty years.

The catalog runs from famous murder trials to disappearances almost nobody covered. A missing person hunted as a suspect while his own body lay one floor above the crime scene. A killer caught by an embossed emblem on an envelope. A confession that arrived decades too late. A DNA profile matched to a phantom who never existed. Murders closed by forensic genetic genealogy, and murders where detectives are still asking for tips today.

Three rules hold in every Crime Incident episode. Confirmed evidence and disputed claims are never blurred together, and you are always told which is which. Victims are treated as people, not as plot devices. And when a case is still unsolved, you get its exact legal status, the reward if there is one, and the number to call.

Crime Incident is true crime for people who want the case file, not the rumor.

  • Vanished the Night Before 9/11: The Sneha Philip Case

    Vanished the Night Before 9/11: The Sneha Philip Case
    12 Nov 2026
    Vanished the Night Before 9/11: The Sneha Philip Case

    On the evening of September 10, 2001, Dr. Sneha Anne Philip was filmed shopping at Century 21, two blocks from the World Trade Center. That 7:18 p.m. camera capture is the last confirmed record of her anywhere. The next morning the towers fell on her neighborhood, and no physical trace of her was ever found. So why is her name carved into the 9/11 Memorial? And who is the woman in silhouette who entered her building's lobby at 8:43 a.m., three minutes before Flight 11 hit?

    In this episode, we follow the Sneha Philip case through its two competing hypotheses: that she came home at dawn and died as a doctor running toward the catastrophe, or that something happened to her the night before and the largest disaster in American history erased the trail. We examine the 4 a.m. call from her apartment, the tower dust marked only by kitten tracks, the disputed police report her family calls fabricated, and the 2008 appellate ruling that made her unique in law: the only person declared a 9/11 victim by a court without physical evidence, over a written dissent.

    Person: Dr. Sneha Anne Philip, 31, internal medicine resident
    Date: last confirmed sighting September 10, 2001, 7:18 p.m.
    Location: Battery Park City, Lower Manhattan, New York
    Case: Disappearance; legally declared the 2,751st victim of the World Trade Center attacks
    Legal status: Removed from the victims' list in 2004; restored by a divided appellate panel on January 31, 2008; no remains ever identified; memorialized at the South Pool, Panel S-66

    - The arraignment, the disputed courthouse fight, and her final afternoon of orchids and plans
    - Her final year in two versions: the police record and the family's rebuttal
    - The lobby silhouette her husband could not identify but an NYPD investigator could
    - Judge Saxe's majority against Judge Malone's dissent, and the hearsay the court threw out
    - The diamond from her wedding minnu that could still settle everything

    The Sneha Philip disappearance remains the strangest missing persons case of September 11, and the Sneha Philip case file is still open to one final answer: DNA.

  • Her Glasses Came Back in the Mail: The Leigh Occhi Case

    Her Glasses Came Back in the Mail: The Leigh Occhi Case
    11 Nov 2026
    Her Glasses Came Back in the Mail: The Leigh Occhi Case

    On the stormy morning of August 27, 1992, as the remnants of Hurricane Andrew swept toward Tupelo, Mississippi, 13-year-old Leigh Occhi was left home alone for the first time in her life. Less than an hour later, her mother returned to an open garage, blood smeared through the house, and no Leigh. Thirteen days after that, an envelope postmarked from a town thirty miles away arrived at the house. Inside were Leigh's eyeglasses. No note. No demand. Nothing else, ever.

    In this episode, we read the crime scene on Honey Locust Drive the way investigators had to: the blood in the bedroom, hallway, and bathroom, the nightgown in the hamper, the attempted cleanup, the missing shoes and sleeping bag, and a house with no forced entry that has never stopped being the center of the case. We follow the search the storm destroyed, the skull in a soybean field that was wrongly identified as Leigh, the three polygraphs that kept her mother under suspicion for decades without a single charge, and the convicted child predator from her church world whom her mother still names, a man who died in 2021 without ever answering questions.

    Person: Leigh Marine Occhi, 13
    Date: August 27, 1992
    Location: Tupelo, Mississippi
    Case: Unsolved disappearance and presumed homicide; declared legally dead in October 2024
    Legal status: No arrests and no charges in 34 years; the investigation remains open, and in January 2025 the FBI, MBI Cold Case Unit, and Tupelo police searched the property with radar, K-9s, and a backhoe

    - The house that speaks: the crime scene, detail by detail
    - The Booneville envelope: six stamps wet with water, a disguised hand, and a ruse
    - The 1993 skull misidentification and the family it wounded twice
    - The mother, the polygraphs, and both sides of thirty years of suspicion
    - Oscar "Mike" Kearns: the suspect who took his answers to the grave

    Tips: Tupelo Police Department 662-841-6491. The Leigh Occhi case is still open, and investigators believe the answer may never have left Honey Locust Drive.

  • The 40-Second Phone Call: The Anthonette Cayedito Case

    The 40-Second Phone Call: The Anthonette Cayedito Case
    9 Nov 2026
    The 40-Second Phone Call: The Anthonette Cayedito Case

    In the small hours of April 6, 1986, nine-year-old Anthonette Cayedito vanished from her family's apartment in Gallup, New Mexico, on the edge of the Navajo Nation. According to a later family account, someone knocked at the door claiming to be an uncle, and the little girl who answered was never seen again. There was no forced entry, no struggle, no evidence at all. Then, a year later, the Gallup Police Department received a 40-second call from a young girl who said "I'm Anthonette Cayedito" and that she was in Albuquerque, before a man's voice shouted "Who said you could use the phone?" and the line went dead.

    In this episode, we follow the Anthonette Cayedito case through its two unverified ghost moments: the 1987 phone call attributed to the case file, and the napkin reading "Help me, call the police" left by a teenage girl in a Carson City, Nevada diner around 1991. We also examine the hardest chapter with precision and restraint: her mother Penny's changing accounts, the failed FBI polygraph, the unadjudicated statements from a 1994 interview, and her death in 1999 before agents could question her one last time.

    Person: Anthonette Christine Cayedito, 9, of Navajo and Italian descent
    Date: April 6, 1986
    Location: Gallup, New Mexico
    Case: Unsolved disappearance; presumed abduction
    Legal status: No one has ever been arrested or charged; the case remains open with the Gallup Police Department and the FBI, which offers a reward of up to $25,000

    - The knock at the door and the theory that Anthonette knew her abductor
    - The brown truck sighting and the search that found nothing
    - The 1987 call and the Carson City napkin, both never verified
    - The mother's polygraphs, changed statements, and death without answers
    - The MMIP context: a Navajo child, three jurisdictions, and decades of thin resources

    The Anthonette Cayedito case is one of America's most haunting unsolved disappearances, and someone in Gallup may still hold the missing piece. Tips: Gallup Police Department or the FBI tip line.
