Senseless True Crime Podcast
Senseless True Crime is a true crime podcast created and hosted by Shanetelle B, an advocate for the missing, murdered, and forgotten.
Behind every senseless act… is a victim who deserved better.
Their voices matter. Their stories deserve to be told.
Each week we dive into the most haunting stories of lives stolen, families shattered, and justice demanded.
From missing persons cases to exclusive interviews with the families of crime victims, combined with archival audio footage, investigative research, an analysis & breakdown of police interrogations and courtroom footage.
⚠️DUE TO THE GRAPHIC NATURE OF THIS PODCAST LISTENER DISCRETION IS STRONGLY‼️
*Shanetelle B is dedicated to telling difficult stories with emotional honesty and depth. Researching and narrating these cases can be psychologically heavy, there may be times when she intentionally steps back to reset and protect her mental health. These pauses are purposeful and necessary to preserve both the integrity of the work and the quality of the show.
