The Psychology of an Alibi: How Liars Cover Their Tracks

What do Scott Peterson, Chris Watts, and a surprisingly incriminating Fitbit all have in common? Bad alibis—and worse lies. In this episode, Jenna and Kayla pull back the curtain on how killers fake innocence, from phony fishing trips to emotionless press conferences. We dive into the psychology of deception, the verbal and behavioral red flags investigators love to catch, and real-life cases where the “I swear I was somewhere else!” story falls spectacularly apart. With equal parts sarcasm, science, and side-eye, we explore why faking an alibi is way harder than it looks (and why most murderers are terrible actors). Grab your popcorn—and maybe your GPS data—and get ready to go from clueless to suspiciously well-informed.
