In the shadow of speculation, truth fights to be heard.
In Part Two of our Maura Murray series, Dark Dialogue pulls no punches. Hosts John and Angela take a hard look at James Renner—whose irresponsible claims have overshadowed Maura’s story for more than a decade. From unfounded allegations against Fred Murray to baseless accusations involving Maura’s boyfriend and fringe theories of tandem drivers, hidden cabins, and even a convicted fraudster—this episode breaks down Renner’s most damaging narratives and the ripple effects that followed.
But this story isn’t just about Renner. It’s about how we tell stories. How creators like Maggie Freleng, True Crime Garage, and Sheila Wysocki have shown that responsible storytelling isn’t just possible—it’s essential.
We also take you inside the Adopt-a-Victim initiative—a visionary new program built to channel public curiosity into disciplined, ethical cold case work. Because Maura Murray deserves better. Every family does.
