From the LA Times and Wondery, “Detective Trapp” is a new story from Christopher Goffard, the writer and host
of “Dirty John.”

Original Score by Fernando Arruda

"Anaheim investigator Julissa Trapp is not like other detectives. She’s the only woman on the homicide squad, and a skilled
chameleon: undercover cop in vice stings, crime-scene commander, patient confidante of killers. A master interrogator, she
invokes her personal experience – and deepest griefs – as a tool to elicit confessions. When a young woman’s body is found
at a trash-sorting plant, Trapp learns the murder may be linked to the disappearance of three other women in nearby Santa Ana.
Trapp embarks on a dark journey that brings her face to face with a man who takes “a little piece of her soul.” The series is about
a singular detective on a relentless, sometimes lonely quest for answers. From the Los Angeles Times and Wondery,
“Detective Trapp” is a new story from Christopher Goffard, the writer and host of “Dirty John.” "
