About Us

Unearthing the forgotten crimes that history tried to erase.

From frontier disappearances to unsolved small-town murders, Crimes Lost to Time explores the mysteries that slipped through the cracks of history. Host Julie Silber combines investigative storytelling with historical insight to uncover the truth — or what’s left of it.

Each season focuses on one state, tracing its hidden past through crime, survival, and the people whose stories never made the history books. Season One begins in Minnesota, where “Minnesota Nice” meets a darker truth beneath the snow. Season Two travels to California, where gold, greed, and ghosts still linger.

Part history, part true crime, Crimes Lost to Time is where forgotten voices find their echo once more
