In the Crimemas Volume I finale, Todd Hiles and Stewart Fillmore confront one of the most haunting and divisive crimes ever associated with the holiday season—the death of JonBenét Ramsey.On Christmas night, in a quiet Colorado home filled with decorations and anticipation, something went terribly wrong. What followed was not just a murder investigation, but decades of suspicion, missteps, and unanswered questions that would fracture public trust and permanently alter how America views crimes behind closed doors.This case became more than a tragedy—it became a mirror. Of media frenzy. Of investigative uncertainty. Of how quickly a moment meant for joy can descend into something unspeakable.With careful restraint and respect for the gravity of the case, Back in Crime examines the known facts, the enduring controversies, and the silence that still surrounds what happened that night.Some crimes never fade.Some questions never rest.And some Christmases are remembered for all the wrong reasons.Follow Texas Crime Travelers:TikTok: ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@texascrimetra...⁠Instagram: ⁠https://instagram.com/texascrimetrave...⁠Facebook: ⁠https://www.facebook.com/texascrimetr...⁠Substack: https://substack.com/@texascrimetravelershttps://texascrimetravelers.com/Have a specific case in mind that you'd like us to explore or just want to get in touch? Case Request/Contact Form: ⁠https://forms.gle/hynpjFrKEVvG6FWw9⁠For business inquiries or opportunities to sponsor our next podcast episode, please reach out to us at ⁠[email protected] Music used :  "JINGLE BELLS ." composed and produced by "Vivek Abhishek"Music link :  • [ No Copyright ] Jingle Bells ( Horror Ver...  SUBSCRIBE to him on YOUTUBE:    / vivekhsihba  Follow on Facebook : https://bit.ly/33RWRtPFollow on Instagram : https://bit.ly/2ImU2JV#JonBenetRamsey #TrueCrime #TrueCrimePodcast #ChristmasCrime #HolidayCrime #Crimemas #DarkChristmas #UnsolvedMysteries #ColdCase #BackInCrime #CrimePodcast #TrueCrimeCommunity #HiddenHistory #DisturbingHistory #FBI #FBIFiles #LawEnforcementHistory #TrueCrimeYouTube #YouTubePodcast #PodcastShorts #TrueCrimeShorts #YTShorts

In a small Tennessee town near Nashville, a bank was targeted by someone wearing a costume no one expected. It wasn’t Christmas. It wasn’t even winter. But the disguise followed a familiar pattern—one tied to celebration, distraction, and the false comfort of tradition.As investigators looked closer, they began to see something unsettling: this wasn’t a one-off. Different holidays. Different costumes. The same calculated approach. A rotating cast of seasonal characters used to lower suspicion and buy time.What started as spectacle slowly revealed a deeper recklessness, pushing law enforcement into a chase that would test how far someone was willing to take the performance.Follow Texas Crime Travelers:TikTok: ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@texascrimetra...⁠Instagram: ⁠https://instagram.com/texascrimetrave...⁠Facebook: ⁠https://www.facebook.com/texascrimetr...⁠Substack: https://substack.com/@texascrimetravelershttps://texascrimetravelers.com/Have a specific case in mind that you'd like us to explore or just want to get in touch? Case Request/Contact Form: ⁠https://forms.gle/hynpjFrKEVvG6FWw9⁠For business inquiries or opportunities to sponsor our next podcast episode, please reach out to us at ⁠[email protected] used :  "JINGLE BELLS ." composed and produced by "Vivek Abhishek"Music link :  • [ No Copyright ] Jingle Bells ( Horror Ver...  SUBSCRIBE to him on YOUTUBE:    / vivekhsihba  Follow on Facebook : https://bit.ly/33RWRtPFollow on Instagram : https://bit.ly/2ImU2JV#TrueCrime #TrueCrimePodcast #ChristmasCrime #HolidayCrime #Crimemas #DarkChristmas #ChristmasMystery #HolidayMystery #BackInCrime #CrimePodcast #TrueCrimeCommunity #UnsolvedMysteries #HiddenHistory #ColdCases #DisturbingHistory #FBI #FBIFiles #SecretService #FederalInvestigations #GMan #LawEnforcementHistory #TrueCrimeYouTube #YouTubePodcast #PodcastShorts #TrueCrimeShorts #YTShorts #DailyPodcast #LimitedSeries

In Cisco, Texas, during a time meant for goodwill and generosity, a man walked into a bank dressed as Santa Claus. What followed was neither joyful nor accidental, but a calculated act that blurred the line between performance and crime.The disguise worked because it was familiar. Trusted. Disarming. And by the time the illusion collapsed, the damage had already been done.With careful storytelling and a darker holiday lens, Back in Crime examines how one festive costume became the perfect cover—and how a Christmas symbol was used to carry out a crime no one saw coming.Follow Texas Crime Travelers:TikTok: ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@texascrimetra...⁠Instagram: ⁠https://instagram.com/texascrimetrave...⁠Facebook: ⁠https://www.facebook.com/texascrimetr...⁠Substack: https://substack.com/@texascrimetravelershttps://texascrimetravelers.com/Have a specific case in mind that you'd like us to explore or just want to get in touch? Case Request/Contact Form: ⁠https://forms.gle/hynpjFrKEVvG6FWw9⁠For business inquiries or opportunities to sponsor our next podcast episode, please reach out to us at ⁠[email protected] used :  "JINGLE BELLS ." composed and produced by "Vivek Abhishek"Music link :  • [ No Copyright ] Jingle Bells ( Horror Ver...  SUBSCRIBE to him on YOUTUBE:    / vivekhsihba  Follow on Facebook : https://bit.ly/33RWRtPFollow on Instagram : https://bit.ly/2ImU2JV#TrueCrime #TrueCrimePodcast #ChristmasCrime #HolidayCrime #Crimemas #DarkChristmas #ChristmasMystery #HolidayMystery #BackInCrime #CrimePodcast #TrueCrimeCommunity #UnsolvedMysteries #HiddenHistory #ColdCases #DisturbingHistory #FBI #FBIFiles #SecretService #FederalInvestigations #GMan #LawEnforcementHistory #TrueCrimeYouTube #YouTubePodcast #PodcastShorts #TrueCrimeShorts #YTShorts #DailyPodcast #LimitedSeries

Todd Hiles and Stewart Fillmore step into the uneasy space where fear, patriotism, and tradition collided. During the height of the Red Scare, even the most beloved symbols of American life were not immune to suspicion.In 1947, an FBI report quietly raised concerns about a holiday film cherished by generations—alleging that beneath its warmth and optimism lay something far more unsettling. Subtle messages. Questionable themes. A suggestion that the story Americans welcomed into their homes each Christmas might not be as innocent as it seemed.The claim was never proven. But the shadow it cast lingered—revealing how paranoia could seep into even the safest corners of culture, and how fear had the power to rewrite intent.With careful perspective and restrained analysis, Back in Crime examines a moment when celebration met suspicion—and when Christmas itself became part of the Cold War.Follow Texas Crime Travelers:TikTok: ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@texascrimetra...⁠Instagram: ⁠https://instagram.com/texascrimetrave...⁠Facebook: ⁠https://www.facebook.com/texascrimetr...⁠Substack: https://substack.com/@texascrimetravelershttps://texascrimetravelers.com/Have a specific case in mind that you'd like us to explore or just want to get in touch? Case Request/Contact Form: ⁠https://forms.gle/hynpjFrKEVvG6FWw9⁠For business inquiries or opportunities to sponsor our next podcast episode, please reach out to us at ⁠[email protected] used :  "JINGLE BELLS ." composed and produced by "Vivek Abhishek"Music link :  • [ No Copyright ] Jingle Bells ( Horror Ver...  SUBSCRIBE to him on YOUTUBE:    / vivekhsihba  Follow on Facebook : https://bit.ly/33RWRtPFollow on Instagram : https://bit.ly/2ImU2JV#TrueCrime #TrueCrimePodcast #ChristmasCrime #HolidayCrime #Crimemas #DarkChristmas #ChristmasMystery #HolidayMystery #BackInCrime #CrimePodcast #TrueCrimeCommunity #UnsolvedMysteries #HiddenHistory #ColdCases #DisturbingHistory #FBI #FBIFiles #SecretService #FederalInvestigations #GMan #LawEnforcementHistory #TrueCrimeYouTube #YouTubePodcast #PodcastShorts #TrueCrimeShorts #YTShorts #DailyPodcast #LimitedSeries

In Crimemas Case 02 – The Lone Ranger: Unmasked on Christmas Eve, Todd Hiles and Stewart Fillmore turn to a quieter kind of crime—one that struck not through violence, but through symbolism, timing, and audacity.On Christmas Eve, 1986, in a Houston airport filled with travelers and holiday expectation, something vanished. Not just property—but an identity. What was taken belonged to a man who had spent a lifetime representing justice, heroism, and the triumph of good over evil.The theft was swift. The setting was public. And the target was unmistakable. To steal from a hero on Christmas Eve wasn’t just a crime—it was a breach of something cultural, almost sacred.As questions lingered and the loss rippled outward, the incident revealed how even icons are vulnerable, and how myth can be stripped away in the most ordinary places.With measured insight and a darker holiday lens, Back in Crime explores a case where the mask came off—not by choice, but by circumstance—and where Christmas Eve became the stage for an unexpected unmasking.Follow Texas Crime Travelers:TikTok: ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@texascrimetra...⁠Instagram: ⁠https://instagram.com/texascrimetrave...⁠Facebook: ⁠https://www.facebook.com/texascrimetr...⁠Substack: https://substack.com/@texascrimetravelershttps://texascrimetravelers.com/Have a specific case in mind that you'd like us to explore or just want to get in touch? Case Request/Contact Form: ⁠https://forms.gle/hynpjFrKEVvG6FWw9⁠For business inquiries or opportunities to sponsor our next podcast episode, please reach out to us at ⁠[email protected] Music used :  "JINGLE BELLS ." composed and produced by "Vivek Abhishek"Music link :   • [ No Copyright ] Jingle Bells ( Horror Ver...  SUBSCRIBE on YOUTUBE:    / vivekhsihba  Follow on Facebook : https://bit.ly/33RWRtPFollow on Instagram : https://bit.ly/2ImU2JV
