Profile Image for SJ

You’ll always be gripped by something you didn’t know.

A punchy, informative, sometimes dark, often unexpectedly humourous (a prolific serial killer named The Doodler anyone?). Each week guarantees to bring a new perspective on a mainstream crime story or and some strange and unusual happening that will stop you in your tracks. Renner’s unique position as founder of The Porchlight Project brings a unique perspective to understanding crime and how cold cases may no longer be a hot topic thanks to genetic geneology.
