Wanneer twee rechercheurs in 2004 een zaak onderzoeken waarin Thomas Gibison een potentiële verdachte is, horen ze geruchten dat hij in 1989 een moord zou hebben gepleegd op een zwarte man om zo respect te verdienen van racistische skinheads. Ze gaan de geruchten na en komen terecht bij Craig Peterson, een voormalige vriend van Gibison. In ruil voor immuniteit bekent Peterson dat hij met Gibison de moord had gepleegd.
Jake Halpern, auteur en radiomaker voor onder meer This American Life, vertelt op een respectvolle en kalme manier hoe de twee agenten wel twee moordenaars te pakken hebben, maar geen slachtoffer. De zoektocht naar de man die werd vermoord en het daaropvolgende proces vormen de basis van de zesdelige podcast The Nameless Man.
Deep Cover is a show about people who lead double lives. Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Jake Halpern reveals webs of deception and dark underworlds, through interviews with federal agents and convicted criminals.
Welcome to a new miniseries, Deep Cover: George Santos.
George Santos, the former Republican Congressman from New York, told a lot of stories about his life and his credentials. Many of which, it turns out, were not true. And now–in just a few weeks–Santos is scheduled to face a criminal trial.
Deep Cover Producer Amy Gaines McQuade, who grew up in Santos’ congressional district, speaks with insiders and experts to try to answer the question: Who is George Santos… really? Amy shares her findings with Jake Halpern as she covers Santos’ rise and fall, the double life he led and reports from his upcoming trial in New York.
Season four, The Nameless Man, tells the epic tale of two federal agents who investigate a rumor about a murder that supposedly took place 15 years prior. It is also the story of a family searching for answers about why their brother was killed. These two storylines collide in a courtroom in Philadelphia, where murder, memory, and morality go on trial.
Season three, Never Seen Again, tells the story of two women living on opposite sides of the country, who went missing in the summer of 1999. Seven years later, their stories collided when a small town detective got a tip and became convinced that if he could solve one mystery, he’d solve the other.
Season two, Mob Land, is about a high-rolling lawyer who joins forces with the feds to try to bring down one of the most powerful criminal syndicates in the country.
Season one, The Drug Wars, tells the story of an FBI agent who goes undercover with a biker gang, and follows a trail of clues that eventually leads to the US invasion of a foreign country.
