Today on the Murder Diaries, we are honored to sit down with our friend Madison McGhee. She's the creator and the voice behind "Ice Cold Case," a deeply personal and powerful investigative podcast about her father's unsolved murder. Like many of us, Madison grew up drawn to true crime stories, watching shows like America's Most Wanted, but at 16, she learned something that would permanently shift her relationship to those stories. Her father's own death, which she had long believed was due to a heart attack, was actually a homicide. With "Ice Cold Case," Madison brings listeners into the heart of her investigation. It's one that spans decades, family secrets, and her own search for truth. Now she's also launched "LA Crimes," a new podcast exploring historic and lesser known cases in Los Angeles. We're so excited to talk to Madison about the intersection of personal and professional storytelling, the emotional labor behind true crime reporting and what exactly it means to seek justice in the digital age.
