California Crime with Amy Jean is a documentary-style true crime podcast that explores real cases with compassion, care, and meticulous research. Through immersive narrative storytelling, each episode goes beyond the headlines to examine the lives forever changed by crime. With a victim-centered approach, we honor those at the heart of every story while exploring the investigations, the pursuit of justice, and the lasting impact on families and communities.

Hosted by Amy Jean, a former public safety and law enforcement dispatcher, the podcast is informed by firsthand experience working behind the scenes during emergencies and critical incidents. That perspective serves as a reminder that every call for service involves real people whose lives have been forever changed.

The mission was never really about crime.

It was always about people.
