Vegas Crime Files
Vegas Crime Files takes you inside the crimes that shaped Las Vegas — and the investigations that brought the bad guys down. Hosted by longtime Las Vegas broadcaster Heidi Harris, this isn’t armchair true crime or breathless speculation. Heidi knows the city, the streets, and — yes — the guy who arrested the guy. As a Vegas native with decades of local media experience, Heidi brings real access, real context, and real conversations with the detectives, prosecutors, and insiders who worked the cases. No sensationalism. No crime-as-entertainment fluff. Just smart, sober storytelling from someone who understands how this town actually works. From infamous cases to lesser-known crimes with big consequences, Vegas Crime Files delivers what most true-crime podcasts can’t: credibility, clarity, and the inside story. 🎧 Available on Apple Podcasts and everywhere you get your podcasts.
