Each card is a case file, a listener theory, a fan deep-dive, or a community thread. The deeper you scroll, the colder the cases get.
The Meridian
Hotel Tapes
A hotel security system that recorded the wrong night. A bellhop who disappeared before the trial. Forty-three seconds of audio that a federal judge ruled inadmissible — and that Dossier obtained through a FOIA request three years later.

The Audience
Investigates.
Every listener is a researcher. Every pause is a clue. The Dossier community has filed over 3 million FOIA requests, contributed 12,000 active discussion threads, and helped reopen six cold cases.
"I maintain a 47-page Google Doc tracking every inconsistency in the Holt case. Dossier is the only podcast that makes me feel like the research actually matters."

Unsolved disappearances, wrongful convictions, unexplained deaths — serialized into multi-episode investigations with original reporting.
Courtroom Transcripts
Verbatim trial recordings, FOIA-obtained documents, and never-aired testimony reconstructed into audio narratives.
Community Investigations
Listener-sourced evidence, Reddit thread syntheses, and amateur detective work elevated into production-grade audio.
