I Fear You, Babe
I Fear You, Babe is a true crime podcast hosted by Dino Malvone, a New York-based storyteller who believes the most important part of any case isn't the crime — it's the person at the center of it.
Every Thursday, Dino goes deep on one case: the victim's life, the investigation, the failures, and the questions that remain. Every Monday, he covers what's moving in the true crime world right now — active trials, new arrests, verdicts, and developments that can't wait for a deep dive.
No gore. No sensationalism. No pretending to be a detective. Just careful research, honest storytelling, and a commitment to saying a person's name like it means something — because it does.
Before we talk about how they died, we talk about how they lived.

This is I Fear You, Babe.
Before we talk about how Savanna LaFontaine-Greywind died, we talk about how she lived.
Savanna LaFontaine-Greywind was 22 years old, a member of the Spirit Lake Tribe, and eight months pregnant with her daughter, Haisley Jo. She was a daughter, a partner, and a young woman preparing to become a mother.
In this episode, I walk through who Savanna was, the days leading up to her disappearance in Fargo, North Dakota, the investigation that uncovered her murder, and the courtroom record that followed. This episode also examines the broader crisis of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and why cases like Savanna’s so often require families to fight for visibility and accountability.
This episode is built only on documented facts, court records, trial testimony, and verified reporting.
Savanna LaFontaine-Greywind was here.
She mattered.
And she deserved better.
