A Hollywood stuntwoman turned personal injury attorney. A handsome disbarred lawyer with a dark past. And an elaborate scheme that leads to murder.
Former Hollywood stuntwoman Vanessa Motta has traded fake car crashes for real ones. As an up-and-coming personal injury attorney in New Orleans, she’s found the perfect partner in her new boyfriend and mentor, Sean Alfortish. So what if he’s a disbarred lawyer with a shady past? With Sean’s help, the cases start rolling in – and the big settlements. But there’s just one problem: the accidents are as staged as a Hollywood car crash. And once the secret gets out, someone will have to pay. From Audible comes the fifth season of _Over My Dead Body: Operation Sideswipe_, a six-part series about greed, betrayal, and who gets thrown under the bus when everything is on the line. Reported and hosted by Mitch Moxley.

I followed season 1 case very closely, listened to the wiretaps, testimonies, texts, etc. this podcast not only covered facts well, but also offered a variety of other information i had not heard.
Supreme presentation. Hoping you cover Donna Adelson upcomng trial and Wendy Adelsons arrest !

I absolutely love this podcast!! It’s a great listen for true crime junkies like myself, and even with so many true crime podcasts out there, this is one of my top 5!! I really enjoy the deep dives into each case / season - they tell the story from multiple perspectives with a necessary, empathic focus on the victims and their families. The cases spread awareness & educate the public about some of the biggest challenges we face today in the pursuit of justice. Highly recommend!

M. William Phelps is an old-school journalist who goes after the facts and digs deep into the crimes he covers. I have really enjoyed his podcasts Paper Ghosts and Crossing the Line. I like his persistence in getting to the details. He interviews persons who have information on the crimes he covers and the people involved. I admire his persistence in getting justice for the victims and their families.
I listen to many true crime podcasts, and his are high on my favorites list. There are many trash true crime podcasts out there who clearly scrape together loose details, rehash the original coverage others are doing, and tie them together with conspiracies and innuendo.
M. William Phelps has earned my trust because he clearly does the work, and can stand behind it. He is not just doing this for likes on social media. He’s looking for the truth.
I look forward to listening to future episodes of Crossing the Line and will likely follow any new podcasts he does.

As a true crime junkie, i really can appreciate when people take the time to put together a story and present it properly. This is one of those shows! Host is great. Audio is great. Interviews are great. Waiting for a new season.

These are all old stories. Everyone already knows the endings. Network shows have already been done to death about these topics. And in the case of “gone hunting” there’s some real strange gaps in their presentation of the narrative. We’re never told about Mike’s boat. In the first episode, people are gathered at a boat ramp there’s a helicopter search, and a friend suggest Mike may have gone overboard, but nobody says they found Mike’s boat. Only at the end in a courtroom confession does anybody mention pushing the boat out into the lake. You spend six episodes wondering quote where is his boat?“. Anyway, there are a lot of good true crime podcasts out there many covering cases you’ve never heard of before. I’d give this one a pass.

Season 4 makes Denise look like this poor, helpless, controlled woman, where it was her that was in charge! More importantly, the podcast doesn’t give credit where credit is due…Mike’s mother was the one who worked for decades on getting this case charged, and came up with the evidence to prove Brian and Denise’s lies. Lastly, the two “experts” in the bonus need to check all sources before relying on this podcast alone to assert Denise was a victim of coercive control. If anything, she was in control!
