History

In 2017, Laurah Norton decided to make a podcast focusing on cases that had received little attention and had victims from underserved or marginalized communities. She first decided to focus on the Millbrook twins after hearing an episode of Thin Air discussing their case. Together with producer Brooke Gently-Hargrove, she launched The Fall Line on June 12, 2017.[1] The podcast's name refers to the Atlantic Seaboard fall line in Georgia.

Episodes

The first season of the podcast focuses on the Millbrook twins who disappeared in 1990. The second season deals with the 1989 disappearance of Monica and Michael Bennett while the third season examines the "Grady babies", seven kidnapped children born at Atlanta's Grady Hospital.[3] The podcast's fourth season largely focuses on cold cases involving LGBT victims and Jane Does. The fifth season debuted in August 2019 and recounts the circumstances surrounding the 1998 disappearance of 8-year-old Shy’kemmia Pate in Unadilla, Georgia.[4]
