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, with the help of guest hosts and investigators (ie: friends and family), 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.

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

Meet Your Host

Julie Silber is a storyteller, researcher, and lifelong history and true crime enthusiast drawn to the cases time has nearly forgotten. With an extensive background in strategic communications and capital markets research she brings curiosity, careful investigation, and a deeply human perspective to every episode of Crimes Lost to Time.

Born and raised in California, Julie spent more than a decade living in Sweden before making Minnesota her home. Her connections to these three places—the settings for the podcast’s first three editions—give her a personal lens through which to explore their histories, cultures, and long-buried mysteries.

Julie believes every forgotten case is more than a mystery: it is a human story that deserves to be remembered and examined with care.

A proud mother of two grown daughters, Julie can usually be found hiking, writing, or exploring places where history still lingers when she isn’t searching archives, following forgotten leads, or recording an episode—often accompanied by Pukka, her västgötaspets, (Swedish Vallhund.)
