APB Cold Case is a true crime audio podcast featuring unsolved missing persons and murder cases from across the country
Hosted by former Police Chief Mark Spawn, APB Cold Case shines a new light on unsolved crimes that have spanned years without resolution. By working with law enforcement and victim’s families we bring renewed attention to these cases to generate new leads – and perhaps, uncover that one piece of information that will help solve the case!

“It’s not just about research and interviews; it’s also about genuine storytelling.” Bringing these stories to life is the heart and soul of each episode.

Investigating the facts is just the first step. APB Cold Case delivers a riveting and comprehensive overview of each case, many times from the mouths of the investigators and family members themselves. Our team is the merger of a media production executive with a former police detective, and that makes APB Cold Case a unique and powerful “listen” for true crime aficionados.
