Be honest…

How many hours have you spent glued to Netflix, YouTube, or podcasts, watching true crime cases about murder?

No, seriously… It feels like I ask myself at least once a week “Am I actually a psycho deep down?”

Can you relate?

Is it the appeal of the investigation? 

Is it the satisfaction of watching criminals get what they deserve?

Or maybe it’s because deep down, you think you’d be great at catching the killer.

Or even better… Maybe you think you could get away with it!!! 

(Completely hypothetical of course Wink Wink.)

But here’s the sad truth…

Most true crime lovers like me and you wouldn’t last 5 minutes in a real investigation.

Sure, we’ve seen the documentaries and binge-listened to all the podcasts. 

But when it comes to spotting the critical clues that crack a case, 93% of people fail miserably.

That’s why I created the 10 question True Crime IQ Quiz.

This isn’t just another time-wasting quiz. It’s a challenge—designed to test your instincts, attention to detail, and ability to think like a detective.

And it's also super fun to take.

Think you have what it takes?

While some progressives are calling the move a betrayal, conservatives see it as a win for accountability and law enforcement. The shift reflects the growing impact of Trump’s hardline immigration stance on local governance.
