In the Shadow of Princeton

The team behind In the Shadow of Princeton is dropping a new season of their hit podcast, Father Wants Us Dead. Listen to the first episode of the new season, Uncle Paul, and then follow Father Wants Us Dead to get the rest of the gripping series .

Father Wants Us Dead — called one of the best true crime podcasts of all time (Entertainment Weekly) — is back with a new season about family murders and the secrets behind them.

Season 2, Uncle Paul, investigates the slayings of the Caneiro family: Keith Caneiro, his wife Jennifer, and their kids, Jesse and Sophia. What first appeared to be a tragic mansion fire in affluent horse country turned into one of New Jersey's most shocking murder investigations. We’ll take you inside a world of brotherly love, betrayal, money and murder as we try to answer the question at the heart of this case: Why?

The creators of 'In the Shadow of Princeton' and 'Father Wants Us Dead' bring you a new true crime series about a serial killer you've never heard of and the women who took him down: ⁠Someone's Hunting Us.⁠

In 2016, a serial killer was preying on Black women and girls he thought no one would miss — and getting away with it. Police in New Jersey never suspected that Khalil Wheeler-Weaver, a nerdy-looking, polite young man from a law enforcement family, was the one stalking the streets and dating apps for his next target.

Like 'Father Wants Us Dead' — called one of the best true crime podcasts of all time by Entertainment Weekly — '⁠Someone's Hunting Us⁠' is a deeply-reported story that honors the victims, investigates the investigators and gets inside the mind of a killer that fooled everyone.
