The Fall Line

a true-crime serial podcast investigating under-reported and unsolved cases in the Southeast and beyond: cold-case homicides, missing persons cases, unidentified persons (John and Jane Does) and interviews with forensic experts who break cass via anthropology. IGG/DNA, and much more.

Live for Both of You: The Murder of Christian Boyle, Part 2

For the family of Christian Boyle, the grief of his unsolved murder is compounded by a lack of transparency. While convictions were secured in the Birmingham murder of Terrell Guy Jr.—the crime Christian witnessed—his own case in Blount County has remained at a standstill for eight years.

In the conclusion of this series, we speak with Christian's twin Brandon about his transformation from grieving Marine to self-taught legal advocate. By studying Alabama legal code and filing persistent public records requests, Brandon is demanding proof the investigation is active. We explore the barriers families face when seeking transparency in cold cases and Kerry's ongoing appeal for witnesses to break their silence after eight years.
