Featured in The Guardian's Best Podcasts of the Week. New episode every other Wednesday. Come Closer is a dark true crime podcast exposing the most disturbing crimes and psychologically twisted cases. Hosted by Rae Review, Aries goddess, Keeper of Dark Stories, minor deity with major opinions. Two million people followed Rae Review across TikTok and Instagram. I've evolved since then. Same mind, same disturbing stories. I'm just dressed for the dark now, and I now have the knowledge of an ancient Aries Goddess who's watched mankind repeat the same mistakes for millenia. Every episode, I'll be your guide as we look at a dark story from true crime or history and we look at the truth underneath it. Then, my own personal verdict at the end (my favorite part), where I sentence the guilty to one of the nine rings of hell, and I'm rarely wrong. On the side of light and progress. So when you’re ready to get closer to the dark, the door

The Green River Killer was also an unassuming-looking man named Gary Ridgway. He made a bet that if he killed women society had already written off, nobody would come looking. For nearly 20 years, he won and got away with it. After he was caught, Gary Ridgway refused to talk to reporters. Then crime journalist Maria DiLorenzo mailed him a letter, and three weeks later her phone rang. For two years he called her, hundreds of times. He lied constantly. He invented rivals for his own story. He tested what she would tolerate, and he started to see her as a potential victim. She stayed on the line for the women he never named. Tonight Maria tells me what it's like to truly know a killer, what it cost her to replay every call while writing "Confessions of the Green River Killer", and the two women whose cases she's still fighting to get reopened. Viewer discretion is advised. This episode includes discussion of murder, sexual violence, and manipulation.

Get my list of 50 essential true crime docs HERE Betty Broderick is often remembered as the ultimate woman scorned, but that story leaves out the psychological damage, manipulation, and betrayal that pushed her to the edge. If you think you know this infamous case, this episode will change the way you see it. Rae Review unpacks the rise and collapse of Betty and Dan Broderick’s marriage: from the years Betty supported Dan through medical school, law school, and four children, to the affair with 21-year-old legal secretary Linda Kolkina and the brutal unraveling that followed. The case is famous, but the deeper question is the one most retellings skip: What happens when betrayal trauma, gaslighting, and a no-fault divorce system combine to strip someone of their reality, their children, and their future?

The myth, the misogyny, and how the "monster” narrative was edited over time. I'm 40,000 years old. I was there, and it's crazy how things get misinterpreted through time.
