About this listen

These Walls Remember is a true crime podcast that begins with a place — a house, a building, a room — where something horrific happened. Each episode returns to the scene of a real-life crime to uncover what the walls witnessed: the silence before, the violence during, and the memories that remain. These are stories of forgotten victims, haunted addresses, and the echoes of history that refuse to fade.Archive 79 True Crime

    Episode Title
    The Dover House — Rural Arkansas

    Description
    In a modest wood-frame home along County Road 112 near Dover, Arkansas (Pope County), a family lived far enough from neighbors that silence was normal and distance felt like safety. What happened inside that house did not announce itself with alarms or chaos. It unfolded quietly, room by room, night by night, held within walls meant to shelter, not reveal.

    This episode explores how isolation shapes a home’s interior rhythms — where voices go unheard, pressure accumulates without release, and a house becomes the only witness because nothing outside is close enough to notice. Rural settings don’t broadcast emergencies. They absorb them.

    The Dover house still stands near County Road 112, Dover, Arkansas, a reminder that places don’t have to be hostile to be complicit. Sometimes they only need to be remote. Because when silence goes uninterrupted long enough, it stops being neutral.

    Episode 40
    The Dauphine Street Room (415 Dauphine Street)

    Description
    In the heart of New Orleans’ French Quarter stands a narrow rental building on Dauphine Street that has spent more than a century welcoming strangers. Sailors, tourists, musicians, and drifters have all passed through its doors, staying just long enough to be forgotten.

    In nineteen seventy one, two visitors checked into an upstairs room and never came out.

    What police uncovered was not a crime of passion, but a system. A man who had lived inside the building long enough to learn its blind spots, its service corridors, and its quiet places. A man who used keys and patience instead of force, choosing rooms the way others choose victims.

    Today, the same space is marketed online as a short term rental. Fresh paint. Clean sheets. A carefully staged photograph of a place built for temporary lives.

    This episode explores how buildings designed for strangers can become perfect hunting grounds, and how places that make money on forgetting are very good at hiding what they remember.

    The House on Cherokee Street

    Description
    In a row of brick homes on Cherokee Street in South St. Louis, one house went quiet in the winter of nineteen ninety three. No screams. No gunshots. No neighbors calling the police. Just a family that stopped answering the door.

    Inside, investigators found a scene that defied every comforting narrative about violence. A mother, a father, and a child lay dead in their own beds. The doors were locked. The windows were closed. And one member of the family was missing.

    What followed was not a story about an intruder, but about a home that had become too small for the people inside it. A place where arguments, fear, and silence stacked up until a breaking point was reached.

    This episode explores the psychology of domestic collapse and the way houses absorb what happens inside them.
    Because when a family is destroyed from within, the walls do not forget.
