Probation Behavior is a true crime podcast hosted by Ally and Abby, exploring cases that caused chaos and captured public attention. With empathy, curiosity, and just enough banter, we break down the story, the psychology, and the public reaction that kept people talking. At the center of every case are real people who should still be here today. We focus on who they were, who loved them, and the lives that were taken too soon. We’re always learning and welcome feedback on how to approach these stories with care and respect. ⏩https://linktr.ee/probationbehavior⏪Ally and Abby True Crime

    14 | The Victims of the Predator of Seville
    Jul 9 2026

    In this episode, Abby covers the victims of The Predator of Seville, the story of how dozens of women studying abroad in Spain uncovered a pattern of sexual violence connected to a charismatic tour guide known as "Manu White." As more survivors came forward, their stories revealed years of abuse and a determined fight to hold him accountable.

    Before we get into the episode, we discuss Malcolm in the Middle, our favorite childhood TV shows, and why Frankie Muniz was basically the Timothée Chalamet of the early 2000s.

    Story starts: 9:01

    13 | Cherie Bishop and Donna Bell: Answers Without Justice
    Jul 2 2026

    In this episode, Ally covers the cases of Cherie Bishop and Donna Bell, two women from Brockton, Massachusetts whose cases began years apart but would later become connected through DNA. What starts with Cherie’s 1991 murder and Donna’s 1993 attack becomes a story about cold case evidence, forensic genealogy, and what it means when answers come decades too late.

    In the intro, we talk about how Abigail is not actually Abby’s real name, all things Love Island USA pre-Casa Amor, and weird allergies.

    12 | Roberta Walls: The Library, the Field, and the DNA That Waited
    Jun 25 2026
    In May 1986, 22-year-old Roberta Walls was found murdered in a field behind Old Donation Elementary School in Virginia Beach, Virginia.She had last been seen the night before at the Bayside Public Library, just across the street from where her body would later be discovered. Her case stayed unsolved for nearly 40 years.This week, we walk through who Roberta was, the night she disappeared, the discovery near the school and library, the early investigation, the long silence in her case, and the DNA breakthrough that led investigators to a man in Connecticut decades later.This is a case about a young woman whose life was stolen, a family that waited almost 40 years for answers, and the way forensic genealogy is changing what is possible in cold case investigations.Before the case starts, we spend the first 20 minutes talking about Euphoria, including the series as a whole, season 3 specifically, and (spoilers!) the series finale.
