Last Seen Alive is a true crime podcast that exists to bring public attention to unsolved cases that need it. It's researched, written and hosted by Crime Analyst Leah Owens, and co-hosted by Scott Owens. Recognizing that the right piece of information can sometimes be the difference between a cold case and resolution, each episode presents listeners with a specific case--often one they've never heard of before. Cases covered include unsolved homicides, disappearances and suspicious deaths.
