ABOUT

Welcome—I’m Mikaylin, the voice behind this blog. I’ve always been drawn to the stories behind crime: the psychology, the patterns, the history, and the human moments that often get lost in the headlines. After earning my bachelor’s and master’s degrees, I wanted a space where I could merge research with storytelling.

Outside of writing, I work as a victim advocate at a domestic violence shelter. That work keeps me grounded and constantly reminds me that crime is never just a story—it’s someone’s lived experience. That perspective shapes how I write every post.

Here, you’ll find deep-dive investigations, case breakdowns, historical crime analyses, and conversations about crime in books, movies, and television. If you’re curious, analytical, and drawn to understanding the “why” behind the stories, you’re in the right place.

Thanks for stopping by. I’m glad you’re here, and I hope you enjoy exploring these stories with me.
