Join Kosta and his guest: Todd Matthews, one of the leading voices in the true crime community, a pioneer of the amateur sleuthing, an architect of that community’s online presence as well as the US government programs to identify missing and unidentified persons (NAMUS), Executive Director of The Doe Network and a sought-after speaker and consultant.
Todd is believed to be the first person to solve a cold unidentified remains case using online tools, solving the thirty-year mystery of “Tent Girl.” He quickly became one of the online sleuthing community’s leading lights, helping to found The DoeNetwork and serving as the media director for that program and Project EDAN. A leading expert on issues pertaining to solve cases of missing and unidentified, he has provided expert commentary for Discovery ID, national/local news outlets, VICE, Reveal, Oxygen, and the History Channel. Also served as a consultant for Jerry Bruckheimer and Dick Wolf on scripted entertainment projects.
Edit: We're heartbroken to hear of the passing of Todd Matthews on January 3, 2024. This episode was recorded on November 7, 2023 and is dedicated to the incredible life and many accomplishments of Todd Matthews. His dedication, passion and giving spirit brought hope to thousands and we're grateful for the opportunity to work with Todd.
