Bayou Justice:

Louisiana's

Cold Case

True Crime Podcast

The swamps of Louisiana have stories that demand to be told. Cold cases that refuse to stay closed. Murders that shaped communities and questions that still linger decades later. Bayou Justice examines these cases with the rigor of a veteran investigative journalist—drawing on evidence, court records, and interviews with those who lived through them. This isn't entertainment. It's investigation. Read HL Arledge's Bayou Justice book series—or subscribe to the podcast.
