Welcome to Crime Girl, where I talk about the true crime cases that I just can’t forget. I’m Grace Taylor Segal—your host, your fellow armchair detective, and someone who’s been fascinated (and frankly outraged) by these stories for as long as I can remember. This podcast isn’t about cracking cases or breaking news. It’s about two things that keep me coming back to these stories: 1. A passionate desire to see justice done. 2. An endless curiosity about why anyone could actually kill—and how they could believe they’d get away with it. Every week, I’ll walk you through a case that has me obsessed. We’ll lay out the facts, revisit the twists and turns, and then I’ll share my take—why the case sticks with me, and what I think about the murder, the perpetrator, the victim, the family, law enforcement, the crime itself, the trial details and the aftermath, including and especially whether or not justice was done. We’ll talk about infamous cases like O.J. Simpson, Robert Durst, Scott Peterson, and Jeffrey MacDonald, as well as lesser-known stories that deserve discussion. I’m not a detective, but I am a lifelong student of true crime—and I can’t stop asking “why?” If you’ve ever found yourself yelling at the TV during a trial, shaking your head at the audacity of a killer, or just needing someone to talk to about these cases, you’re in the right place. Let’s dive into the crimes that haunt us—and keep the quest for justice alive.Copyright 2025 Grace Taylor Segal Ciencias Sociales Crímenes Reales Política y Gobierno
