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.

Nashville, TN, April 1998: a teenager goes missing. A man is murdered and cannot be identified. The city of Nashville is struck by one of the worst tornadoes the city has ever seen. These events—taking place over a single week—aren't connected until two sisters begin to ask questions about their missing brother.

In Episode 2 of Season Nine, we explore the life of LeRyan Nicholson, who was born--and disappeared in--Nashville, TN. LeRyan’s sisters, Ameera and Candace, reflect on their relationship, their brother’s struggles, and how little they understood when he vanished. This led Ameera and Candace to begin their own investigation.  

In the conclusion to Season Nine, we learn how Candace and Ameera’s citizen detective work closed one cold case, and re-opened another.
