About this listen

 Kerrie Droban is the host and creator of the "CRIME STANDS STILL" podcast, a docuseries that follows one case every Season. Season One features the sensational Arizona story of Marjorie Orbin, a woman wrongfully convicted of the brutal and shocking beheading of her former husband and currently serving a life sentence. Season One, "Firefly," was written and produced with the permission and encouragement of my client, Marjorie Orbin, whom I have represented in post-conviction for over ten years. After extensive investigation, research, and interviews, FIREFLY is a presentation of the "whole truth" and not just what the jury heard. Post-conviction practice is a highly specialized area of law that explores fundamental and nuanced aspects of criminal law and procedure. It asks what happened and what went wrong behind the scenes and outside the record after appeals have been exhausted. With over 3,200 inmates nationwide (21 of whom were sentenced to death) exonerated either in full or in part by DNA testing, newly discovered evidence, and newfound witnesses, post-conviction investigation is a vital component of truth and justice.

  • The Golden State Killer: Inside the Manhunt, DNA Breakthrough, and Joseph DeAngelo's Capture

    The Golden State Killer: Inside the Manhunt, DNA Breakthrough, and Joseph DeAngelo's Capture
    Nov 30 2025
    He stalked families in the dead of night, slipping through windows like smoke—and for decades, no one knew his name. In this episode, we dive into the terror left behind by the Golden State Killer, a predator who shattered the peace of California's suburbs with a string of home invasions, sexual assaults, and murders that spanned ten counties and three eras of fear. We trace the evolution of his crimes—from the early days as the East Area Rapist to his transformation into the Original Night Stalker—and explore how he vanished just as suddenly as he appeared. You'll hear how investigators chased thousands of leads, how the case grew colder, and how a revolutionary DNA technique cracked open the mystery everyone thought was unsolvable. We also examine Joseph DeAngelo's secret life: the ex-cop with rage simmering beneath the surface, the chilling mutterings about "Jerry," and the strange fractures in his psyche that raised more questions than answers.

  • The Long Island Serial Killer: The Clue No One Saw Coming

    The Long Island Serial Killer: The Clue No One Saw Coming
    Nov 30 2025
    It started with a single body on a quiet stretch of beach—then the sand began giving up its dead. In this episode, we unravel the haunting mystery of the Long Island Serial Killer, a predator who used the edges of New York's coastline as a dumping ground while slipping past investigators for more than a decade. We trace the case from its accidental discovery to the tangled web of victims, suspects, and theories that followed. You'll hear how a routine search for a missing woman exposed a graveyard, why investigators struggled through jurisdictional battles and dead-end leads, and how new forensic technology and shifting timelines reignited the hunt. Through interviews, case analysis, and a reconstruction of the killer's psychology, we examine the chilling precision of the crimes—and the secrets buried beneath the surface of Gilgo Beach. Because the truth about LISK isn't hidden in the dark—it's hiding in plain sight. 👉 For deeper insight into surviving the mind games of a psychopath, get my book Surviving a Psychopath. https://kerriedroban.com/surviving-psychopath ✅ Join my Masterclass: https://kerrie-zhivago.mykajabi.com/surviving-a-psychopath Could YOU spot a psychopath?

  • Inside the hunt for the Green River Killer: how serial killer Ted Bundy helped investigators profile and track Gary Ridgway, leading to one of the most chilling captures in American true-crime history.

    Inside the hunt for the Green River Killer: how serial killer Ted Bundy helped investigators profile and track Gary Ridgway, leading to one of the most chilling captures in American true-crime history.
    Nov 30 2025
    He was drowning the Pacific Northwest in bodies—and no one could stop him. Desperate and out of leads, investigators turned to the last person anyone wanted in the room: Ted Bundy. In this chilling episode, we dive into the unlikely partnership between one of America's most notorious serial killers and the task force hunting the Green River Killer. You'll hear how Bundy dissected Gary Ridgway's psychology with unnerving precision, predicted his patterns, and guided detectives toward the truths they didn't want to believe. We explore the early missteps in the investigation, Ridgway's grotesque double life, and the turning point when Bundy's manipulative insights aligned with forensic breakthroughs—leading to the capture of a murderer who may have claimed more victims than Bundy himself. As the evidence tightens and Ridgway's mask finally cracks, we confront the twisted reality of a killer coached into the light by another monster. Because sometimes, to catch a predator… you have to listen to one. 👉 For deeper insight into surviving the mind games of a psychopath, get my book Surviving a Psychopath. https://kerriedroban.com/surviving-psychopath ✅ Join my Masterclass: https://kerrie-zhivago.mykajabi.com/surviving-a-psychopath Could YOU spot a psychopath?
