Overview
Episodes

Details

The Fall Line® is an investigative true crime podcast focused on cold cases, unsolved murders, and missing persons. We shine a light on what's been under-investigated, under-covered, or both — diving deep into unsolved homicides, disappearances, and unidentified John and Jane Does. Through interviews with law enforcement, forensic experts, victim advocates, and families, we investigate what happened and why these cases remain unsolved. We dig into current issues in forensic science, DNA evidence, and criminal justice — and confront the disparities that leave underrepresented victims, including those lost to serial killers, without headlines or justice. Every episode is victim-centered, not drama-driven. Real cases. Real families. Real justice.

Find Her: The Disappearance of Pepita Redhair Part 2
We continue our coverage of the disappearance of Pepita Redhair, who was last seen at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic. Pepita Madelyn Redhair, a young woman who grew up in Crownpoint on the Navajo Nation reservation, longed for adventure. Still, she stayed incredibly close to her family, despite living 140 miles away in Albuquerque. When Pepita suddenly went silent on March 27, 2020, her mother Anita King knew something was terribly wrong. The response she received from law enforcement launched her family into a nearly six-year fight for answers that highlights issues with investigation of IPV (intimate partner violence) and the broader crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous women and relatives (MMIWR/MMIP)—and the systemic failures that leave families searching on their own. Anyone with information about Pepita's disappearance is asked to contact Albuquerque Police Department: 505-768-2020 or the Bernalillo County District Attorney's Office: 505-222-1101 There is a 3,000 dollar reward in her case.
