The Last Clue

The Last Clue is where overlooked stories finally get the attention they deserve. Hosted by a dedicated husband-and-wife team, Beth and Kyle Smith, this true crime podcast digs into the murders, disappearances and cold cases that mainstream media has all but forgotten. What began as a passion project in their spare time has evolved into a deeply researched, community-supported investigation that refuses to let important stories fade into silence.

After a first season exploring several cases per episode, Season 2 shifts into a full-scale, single-case investigation: the murder of University of Oklahoma rugby player Joe Pal. What was meant to be just one episode quickly revealed hidden layers, unanswered questions and a striking lack of local or state media coverage—compelling the hosts to push forward where others wouldn’t.

With fact-based storytelling, listener collaboration and a commitment to justice, The Last Clue exposes the clues everyone else missed. If you’re searching for a true crime podcast that goes deeper, works harder and challenges the official narrative, this is the one you’ve been waiting for.
