Murder Sheet: The Podcast Covering Delphi With Journalism

Murder Sheet is a weekly American true crime podcast hosted by journalist Áine Cain and attorney Kevin Greenlee that has built a dedicated following since its launch by combining investigative journalism with legal expertise. Available on Apple Podcasts and all major platforms, the show has drawn particular attention for its coverage of the Delphi murders — one of the most widely followed unsolved homicide cases in recent American history.

Who Is Behind Murder Sheet?

Áine Cain is a trained journalist with a background in business media, while Kevin Greenlee brings an attorney's perspective to every case analysis. Together, they have carved out a distinctive space in an overcrowded true crime market: Murder Sheet is not just about storytelling, but about the legal processes, evidentiary questions, and mechanics of the justice system that underpin every case. That combination gives listeners a deeper understanding of how criminal cases actually work — from investigation through to verdict.

The two hosts complement each other methodically. Cain digs into documents, witness statements, and media coverage, while Greenlee dissects the legal implications of what the evidence does and does not show. The result is a podcast that appeals both to curious general listeners and to those with a professional interest in the law.

The Delphi Murders: The Podcast's Flagship Case

Murder Sheet is best known for its extensive coverage of the Delphi murders, in which teenagers Abigail Williams and Liberty German were killed near Delphi, Indiana, in February 2017. The case drew international attention in part because Liberty German managed to record audio and images of the suspected killer on her cell phone before she died.

The suspect in the Delphi case is Richard Allen, who in 2024 was sentenced to two consecutive life terms in prison. Bryan Kohberger is not connected to this case — Kohberger is charged in a separate murder case involving four University of Idaho students.

Cain and Greenlee have followed the Delphi case for years, tracking its many legal twists, changes of defense counsel, and controversies surrounding the evidence. Their coverage has earned recognition for sticking to verifiable facts rather than speculation — an approach that stands in sharp contrast to the sensationalism that often dominates true crime media.

The Burger Chef Murders and Cold Cases

Another case Murder Sheet has devoted significant attention to is the Burger Chef murders of 1978, in which four young fast food employees were kidnapped and killed in Speedway, Indiana. The case went unsolved for decades and exemplifies the type of cold case the podcast specializes in: complex, underreported, and rooted in an era when investigative techniques were far more limited than they are today.

Cain and Greenlee's approach to cold cases differs from many other podcasts by focusing on what investigators actually knew at the time, what went wrong, and which leads have never been properly followed up — rather than simply retelling the story for dramatic effect.

The Bryan Kohberger Case

Murder Sheet has also closely followed the case against Bryan Kohberger, who is charged with the murders of four University of Idaho students in November 2022. The case has received massive global media coverage, and the podcast has provided ongoing analysis of legal maneuvers, defense strategy, and prosecutorial evidence. The Kohberger case is a strong example of how Murder Sheet manages to cover an active trial in real time with genuine depth, rather than simply echoing the surface-level headlines produced by mainstream outlets.

Why Murder Sheet Is Worth Your Time

True crime has a large and growing international audience, and cases like the Delphi murders and the Kohberger case are well known to listeners far beyond the United States. Murder Sheet offers an entry point into these cases that goes considerably deeper than most news coverage. For anyone wanting to understand the American justice system — and the investigative details behind the headlines — Murder Sheet is one of the most substantive podcasts available.

New episodes are released weekly and the podcast is free to access on all major platforms.
