  • JigSaw & Jane 13 Years of Murder & Mayhem with Badge Number One

    JigSaw & Jane 13 Years of Murder & Mayhem with Badge Number One
    Nov 11 2025
    By Robert Riggs LAPD Homicide Detective John St. John aka "JigSaw John" Badge #1 Legendary LAPD Homicide Detective John St. John walked among the dead for nearly a half-century. Known as “JigSaw John,” he pursued monsters that had an insatiable appetite for blood and suffering. Jane Howatt, a suburban housewife and aspiring writer, wanted to trade her tennis racket for something more meaningful. St. John didn’t need company, and he sure didn’t want a young unpublished author in his way. But something about Howatt’s curiosity—earnest, unspoiled, insistent—broke down his guard. St. John worked the evidence; Howatt worked the story. The result is “JigSaw and Jane: Thirteen Years of Murder & Mayhem with Badge Number One.” St.John empathized with crime victims because he was one of them. As a young jailer, a prisoner ambushed him with an iron bar ripped from a bunk. The prisoner savagely beat St. John to the brink of death, leaving him blind in one eye. In another life, JigSaw and Jane would have barely noticed each other in a supermarket aisle. Instead, they found themselves peering into crime scenes of LA’s most brutal and sensational crimes together. This is their story.

  • Carbon Monoxide Poisoned Two Children’s Brains After Their Landlord Ignored the Danger

    Carbon Monoxide Poisoned Two Children’s Brains After Their Landlord Ignored the Danger
    Oct 28 2025
    by Robert Riggs This isn’t the kind of story I usually tell. The police didn’t converge on the scene with sirens blaring and guns drawn. But what happened inside a Dallas apartment complex was just as devastating and just as unforgivable as a cold-blooded murder. In 2015, a silent killer slipped into the home of two young children. Not through malice, but through neglect, greed, and a rusted furnace exhaust pipe no one wanted to fix. The carbon monoxide gas that leaked out of it took their minds, leaving them permanently brain-damaged, trapped in silence. For nine years, their mother fought a legal battle against apartment owners and their insurance company, which denied everything. What followed was a story of delay, deception, and courtroom drama that will outrage even the most hardened true crime listener. This episode is a departure from my usual reporting, but it’s one I had to tell. Because sometimes, the deadliest crimes aren’t committed with a weapon. They’re committed with indifference.

  • Don’t Make It Easy for a Violent Predator to Choose You

    Don’t Make It Easy for a Violent Predator to Choose You
    Oct 7 2025
    Most predators don’t pounce—they pick. They observe. They wait. And they choose the person who looks the easiest to catch. In this episode, you’ll learn how to make sure you’re not the one they choose. From FBI profilers to a former producer for CBS 48 Hours, I’ll walk you through the red flags predators look for and how to shut them down before they ever get a chance. This isn't about paranoia. It's about awareness. And once you know what to look for, you’ll make it very difficult to be chosen. Because survival starts before the crime ever happens.
