Last Seen Alive is an unsolved true crime podcast focused on little-known / underreported upon homicide and missing persons cases.
A TRUE CRIME PODCAST WITH A PURPOSE
Leah and Scott are a husband and wife team, and established Last Seen Alive in 2019 to bring public attention to unsolved cases that need it. Recognizing that the right piece of information can sometimes be the difference between a cold case and resolution, during each episode, they present listeners with a specific case–often one they’ve never heard of before–and provide listeners with actionable information on how to report any tips. Cases covered include unsolved homicides, disappearances and suspicious deaths.
Last Seen Alive bears the unique distinction of being the only true crime podcast researched, written and hosted by a professional crime analyst.
LAST SEEN ALIVE’S HOSTS: LEAH AND SCOTT OWENS
HOST: LEAH OWENS
Leah’s lifelong interest in crime solving was sparked by an early introduction to the classic shows, “Unsolved Mysteries” and “America’s Most Wanted”. Born within weeks of the “Unsolved Mysteries” series premier, Robert Stack’s haunting narration launched her lifelong fascination with all things unsolved. When he said: “Perhaps you may be able to help solve a mystery,” she took that very seriously.
Today, she enjoys working as a crime analyst for a mid-sized, urban police department with a top-tier Crime Analysis Unit. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice from Old Dominion University, and a Certificate in Crime and Intelligence Analysis from California State University, Sacramento. Through her work, she’s always learning more about the nature of crime, and what it takes to solve it. She researches, writes and hosts Last Seen Alive, the only true crime podcast made by a professional crime analyst.
