About this listen

 Kerrie Droban is the host and creator of the "CRIME STANDS STILL" podcast, a docuseries that follows one case every Season. Season One features the sensational Arizona story of Marjorie Orbin, a woman wrongfully convicted of the brutal and shocking beheading of her former husband and currently serving a life sentence. Season One, "Firefly," was written and produced with the permission and encouragement of my client, Marjorie Orbin, whom I have represented in post-conviction for over ten years. After extensive investigation, research, and interviews, FIREFLY is a presentation of the "whole truth" and not just what the jury heard. Post-conviction practice is a highly specialized area of law that explores fundamental and nuanced aspects of criminal law and procedure. It asks what happened and what went wrong behind the scenes and outside the record after appeals have been exhausted. With over 3,200 inmates nationwide (21 of whom were sentenced to death) exonerated either in full or in part by DNA testing, newly discovered evidence, and newfound witnesses, post-conviction investigation is a vital component of truth and justice.

  • Ted Bundy's Escapes: How a Serial Killer Broke Free Twice

    Ted Bundy's Escapes: How a Serial Killer Broke Free Twice
    Jan 31 2026
    Ted Bundy escaped custody twice—and paid for it in the electric chair. In this episode, we trace Ted Bundy's escapes from jail, examining how arrogance, manipulation, and systemic failures allowed a known serial killer to walk out of custody and kill again. We break down the courtroom theatrics, the lapses in supervision, and the entitlement that convinced Bundy the rules never applied to him. The story ends where it had to: Florida State Prison, the electric chair, and a public reckoning unlike any other—crowds gathered outside, chanting "burn Bundy burn" as the power was switched on. Not justice as spectacle, but justice as exhaustion—an end to a man who believed he could always outsmart the system. This episode examines how Bundy escaped, why he was finally stopped, and what his execution revealed about a society desperate for closure after years of calculated violence. 🔔 If This Episode Stayed With You… Follow Crime Stands Still for investigative episodes that go deeper than headlines Share this episode with someone who thinks "evil" looks obvious Leave a review—it helps these stories reach the people who need to hear them 👉 For deeper insight into surviving the mind games of a psychopath, get my book Surviving a Psychopath. https://kerriedroban.com/surviving-psychopath ✅ Join my Masterclass: https://kerrie-zhivago.mykajabi.com/surviving-a-psychopath Could YOU spot a psychopath?

  • Ted Bundy: America's Apex Predator

    Ted Bundy: America's Apex Predator
    Jan 31 2026
    Ted Bundy killed repeatedly—and escaped twice. In this episode, we examine Ted Bundy's murders and audacious escapes, tracing how he abducted victims, concealed his crimes, and exploited institutional blind spots to stay free far longer than he should have. From calculated attacks to courtroom theater and jailhouse breakouts, Bundy's story reveals a killer who relied as much on manipulation and entitlement as violence. This is a clear-eyed account of how Bundy murdered, how he evaded capture, and what his escapes exposed about the systems meant to stop him—and why his crimes continue to distort how we understand serial killers today. 🔔 If This Episode Stayed With You… Follow Crime Stands Still for investigative episodes that go deeper than headlines Share this episode with someone who thinks "evil" looks obvious Leave a review—it helps these stories reach the people who need to hear them 👉 For deeper insight into surviving the mind games of a psychopath, get my book Surviving a Psychopath. https://kerriedroban.com/surviving-psychopath ✅ Join my Masterclass: https://kerrie-zhivago.mykajabi.com/surviving-a-psychopath Could YOU spot a psychopath?

  • Ted Bundy: The Method and Madness of a Serial Killer

    Ted Bundy: The Method and Madness of a Serial Killer
    Jan 31 2026
    In this episode, we strip away the mythology and examine Ted Bundy's methods and madness—not the legend he carefully constructed, but the mechanics of how he selected victims, gained trust, and maintained control while killing repeatedly. Bundy's greatest weapon wasn't intelligence or charm. It was access—and his uncanny ability to read social rules, weaponize sympathy, and exploit our reluctance to believe that evil can look familiar. We break down how Bundy manipulated women, law enforcement, the media, and even experts—while feeding a narrative that still distorts how we understand serial predators today. Drawing on confessions, behavioral analysis, and what we now know about psychopathy and entitlement rage, this episode examines how Bundy operated, why people believed him, and what his behavior teaches us about modern predators who rely less on force and more on persuasion. This is not a retelling of crimes you already know. It's an examination of how Ted Bundy worked—and why we're still vulnerable to men like him. If you think you know the Ted Bundy story, this episode will challenge what you think you understand. 🔔 If This Episode Stayed With You… Follow Crime Stands Still for investigative episodes that go deeper than headlines Share this episode with someone who thinks "evil" looks obvious Leave a review—it helps these stories reach the people who need to hear them 👉 For deeper insight into surviving the mind games of a psychopath, get my book Surviving a Psychopath. https://kerriedroban.com/surviving-psychopath ✅ Join my Masterclass: https://kerrie-zhivago.mykajabi.com/surviving-a-psychopath Could YOU spot a psychopath?
