The podcast has become known for its detailed storytelling and commitment to bringing attention to victims who deserve justice.

Building on years of advocacy and investigative work, Humphrey is also launching a new podcast and YouTube channel, She Seeks Justice, which will premiere in May. The show will feature conversations with true crime authors, investigative journalists, advocates, survivors, and others working to uncover the truth behind complex cases. Along with interviews, the channel will explore cold cases, ethical questions surrounding true crime storytelling, and the broader pursuit of justice for victims and families.
