Almost Fiction

By: 11:59 Media
  • Summary

  • Crimes that are so diabolical that they seem like almost fiction.
    Based on real events, Almost Fiction is a Podcast where we try to imagine what it was like when some of the worst crimes occurred. Using facts, reports, and evidence, we attempt to reconstruct what the crime scenes might have looked like as the crimes were happening. So, join us each week as we peek behind the curtain at some of the worst scenes from some of the worst crimes ever committed.

    I’m Chase Ellerman, and welcome to… Almost Fiction.

    Julie Corey had already had 5 children and had full custody of none of them. The 35 year old woman could feel the pressure of time, and was making one last chance to start a family, one that hopefully this time, she could keep. But sometimes, fate just has other plans.

  • Ramon Jay Rogers
    Dec 11 2024
    Ramon Jay Rogers was a nice guy. He grew up in a strange environment, but by all outward appearances he was well adjusted, polite, and well liked. Until he killed his best friend, and everything just seemed to spiral out of control.

  • Veronica Paz and Brandon Dante Perry
    Dec 4 2024
    From the outside, it appeared as if Veronica Paz desperately missed high school. She missed the social aspect, the drama, and most importantly… the boys. For his part, Brandon Perry would have probably done just about anything for his high school sweetheart, Veronica, and she was about to put that devotion to the test.
