About the Show

True Crime Sleep Stories is a calm true crime podcast for sleep.

Since October 2022, I’ve been telling real cases, unsolved mysteries, and strange bits of history softly, the way you’d tell a story by lamplight while the rain keeps on outside. A family in a small Iowa town who never woke up. A man who vanished without a trace and was never found. Footprints in the snow that nobody could explain.

Nothing graphic. Just the quiet details that stay with you after the lights go out.

So make a cup of tea, pull up a warm blanket, and get comfy. I’m Kelli, and I’m going to tell you a bedtime story.
