Dark Matters: True Crime

Dark Matters explores the realities of violent and predatory behavior through stories and conversations, not classroom theory. Episodes focus on homicide and serial murder, sex crimes, stalking, criminal paraphilias, and cold cases. You will hear interviews with offenders who speak anonymously about choices and consequences, and in-depth talks with investigators, clinicians, and researchers who explain what they saw and what they learned. Guided by criminal psychologist Dr. Eric Hickey, the show looks for patterns, turning points, and practical ways to prevent harm while avoiding sensational detail.
