Crimery
CRIMERY is a long-form true crime podcast that goes beyond headlines to examine the people, psychology, and systems behind some of the most disturbing crimes in American history.
Each episode is built from original research, police records, court documents, and contemporary reporting — presented with narrative restraint and respect for victims and their families. CRIMERY focuses not just on what happened, but how it was allowed to happen, and why certain cases continue to haunt communities decades later.
From unsolved disappearances and cold cases to infamous crimes hidden behind public personas, CRIMERY strips away myth, rumor, and sensationalism to reveal uncomfortable truths — about power, violence, silence, and the cost of looking away.
This is not fast crime.
This is not speculation disguised as storytelling.
These are carefully constructed investigations into crimes that still matter.

THE UNICORN KILLER: INSIDE IRA EINHORN (PART ONE)
For years, Ira Einhorn was celebrated as a visionary.
He called himself The Unicorn — a peace activist, environmental prophet, and counterculture icon with powerful friends and devoted followers. He spoke about consciousness, love, and the future of humanity. People believed him.
Then, in March of 1979, police opened a padlocked closet in his Philadelphia apartment.
Inside was a steamer trunk.
Inside that trunk was the body of Holly Maddux.
In Part One of this two-part Crimery series, we peel back the mythology surrounding Ira Einhorn to reveal the man behind the movement. Through his own journals, survivor testimony, and long-buried history, we trace a disturbing pattern of control, sadism, and violence — years before Holly was murdered.
This episode isn’t about speculation.
It’s about how charisma becomes camouflage.
How power protects predators.
And how a man who preached love lived with a corpse beside his bed for eighteen months.
Next episode: the arrest, the bail that set him free, and the international manhunt that followed.
Content warning: intimate partner violence, homicide.
