We find ourselves in an era where crime transcends the confines of the courtroom, embedding itself into headlines, social media, and the collective consciousness of the public.

This week on “Crime Roundup,” hosts Sheryl McCollum and Joshua Schiffer delve into the intricacies of laws designed to prevent criminals from benefiting financially from their own misdeeds. They explore how cases like that of Bryan Kohberger continually challenge these legal boundaries.

The discussion extends to the world of murderabilia, highlighting a subculture that turns notorious legal cases into topics of fascination and items of collection.

Additionally, the episode covers a gripping beheading case involving a former adult film actress, which has captured national interest, along with various other compelling stories from this week.
