Almost Fiction

Crimes that are so diabolical that they seem like almost fiction. Based on real events, Almost Fiction is a Podcast where we try to imagine what it was like when some of the worst crimes occurred. Using facts, reports, and evidence, we attempt to reconstruct what the crime scenes might have looked like as the crimes were happening. So, join us each week as we peek behind the curtain at some of the worst scenes from some of the worst crimes ever committed. I’m Chase Ellerman, and welcome to… Almost Fiction.

Part 1 of 3This week in our first ever multipart episode, we look at the case of Heriberto “Eddy” Seda. A young man who desperately wanted any semblance of control.

Can't Spell Hell Without Michelle 27.06.2023

When you hear the words, “attention seeker”, you probably have at least one person come straight to mind. We all know, or have been around someone in our lives that will go to great lengths, create grand stories, just for attention. For the most part we ignore them, brush them and their crazy tales aside. But sometimes, we do so at our own risk. Access ad-free episodes, bonus content, and get all...

The Monster of Florence 27.06.2023

I’m sure you’ve all heard a saying along the lines of the real monsters are among us. Monsters come in all shapes and sizes, but what really makes a person, a monster?

Sam Manzie 27.06.2023

Ask yourself… How much should somebody’s past, how much of their history should affect your opinion of them?

This week we ask those questions as they pertain to a young killer who himself was a victim. Welcome to Almost Fiction: Sam Manzie. Access ad-free episodes, bonus content,...

Crazy Dave Maust 27.06.2023

Once again we find ourselves following a killer who after having been convicted of a murder was later released. This week we meet Crazy Dave and try to figure out why not only was he released from prison after killing one young man, but two. Is our system broken, or are the loopholes just a little too big for comfort? Welcome to Almost Fiction. Access ad-free episodes, bonus content, and get all o...

Joseph Edward Duncan 27.06.2023

Most journals are personal… logs to help us remember things that we might forget, how we felt at pivotal points in our lives, a record of where we’ve been and how far we’ve come. They can be used to catalog our thoughts and ideas, as reference for times when we need a reminder of our hopes and dreams. Usually these things are kept secret, hidden away from the world. But occasionally, these writing...
