Sidetrack Sleuth
I’m Jessica — a lifelong true crime enthusiast with a curious mind, a lot of opinions, and a tendency to get sidetracked. Every week, I walk you through a fascinating case and the stories behind it, then let the conversation wander into unexpected territory — because crime doesn’t happen in a vacuum, and neither do our thoughts.
From cold cases and courtroom drama to celebrity scandals, pop culture hot takes, political messes, and whatever’s trending on my For You page, nothing is off-limits. I’ll wrap things up with The Lead — my weekly recommendation you didn’t know you needed — and occasionally drag a guest into The Depositions for their testimony on all things crime and chaos.
Think of it as your smartest, most unhinged group chat come to life — equal parts investigative deep dive and oversharing bestie energy. If you love true crime and a good tangent, you’re in the right place.

Episode 17: Angela Diaz, Ian Diaz and Michelle Hadley
Welcome back, Sleuths. This case is a wild ride. WILD ride. Angela Diaz life was going perfectly until she started receiving threatening emails.
Also, Jessica wanted to tell Kendrick Johnson's story but it is a hard one. The idea was to get more eyes on the case because his parents need answers and the case needs to be re-opened. But today, March 10th, just one day before this episode goes up, this case was finally opened again.
We recommend this podcast here that covers the details for this one case because we still want you to hear his story. But make sure you come back to us ;) https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/kendrick-johnson/id541481026?i=1000492748662
As usual, here are the super sources that make us super sleuths! We could not tell these stories without them.
