It’s not every day we get to do a happy interview about how we met, but Courtroom Confidential gave us the opportunity to share more about us, and less about crime. It was enjoyable for us and we wanted to make sure we share the inteview with each of you. https://youtu.be/whAAcR8HreQ?si=xc5a0NfWs57AlQ-Z

Those highs and lows of 2024 are coming soon, too! I (Lauren) have two family members on hospice (my mom and my brother) and that is why we have missed a week of Patreon-only episodes. We will have an episode soon. Thank you for your support, love and kindess. We are so incredibly grateful for our Hidden Gems.

Hidden True Crime: How Lauren & Dr. John Matthias Took a Chance and Built a Life & Podcast Together

Welcome to Courtroom Confidential Conversations! In this episode, Joshua Ritter sits down with Lauren and Dr. John Matthias, the duo behind the hit podcast and YouTube channel @HiddenTrueCrime. Lauren, a journalist and former news anchor, and Dr. John, a forensic psychologist, discuss how their shared fascination with the mysteries of true crime brought them together—from their first conversation discussing a grisly murder to their marriage and eventual decision to launch Hidden True Crime. They discuss their unique approach to storytelling, combining psychological insights with investigative depth, and how the Chad Daybell and Lori Vallow case inspired them to start their podcast during the pandemic. Lauren and Dr. John reflect on the evolution of their work, their connection with their audience, and their plans for the future. Thank you for watching!

Maya Rodriguez Sorensen

That was such a fun interview! Josh is such a great guy and it was great to learn more about you two ♥️

Missy Rehn

Oh, wow - two close family members in hospice at the same time has to physically, mentally, and emotionally difficult and heartbreaking. I don't comment or am in chat often, but please know I appreciate you and Dr. John's honesty, dedication, compassion, and factual approach to everything you guys bring to us. I can't say thank you enough! I wish you all the best in 2025, and I cannot wait to see you soar above all the others in this field!! Many thoughts, tons of prayers, a million hugs, and an infinite amount of love is headed your way to you both and your families.

Tracy Wheeler

Great episode thank you! Sending you lots of love prayers Lauren at this challenging time xx

Ruth Claessens

I’m sorry to hear your brother and mum are in hospice care. Take all the time you need. Family first. We’ll all be here when you are. ❤️🙏

Natascha Truong

I loved the episode with Josh, you guys had great chemistry with him. And my heart goes out to you for your mom and brother. Thank you for all that you do for everyone you love, you are truly making a difference and giving us a voice that we can relate to and trust. I’m sure you provide the same for those you love so please take time to care for yourself also.

Karen Bell

My heart breaks for you all as you go through such an emotional rollercoaster with your Mum and brother. Take care of yourself and don’t worry about content. We are here for you ❤️❤️❤️

Loved listening to this. I’ve heard your story before but you never fail to pick up different things. Thank you Dr John for finding the courage to be in front of a camera. I personally fear being on or in front of a camera which stems from childhood ptsd. Before becoming a Gem, I was also very reluctant to comment or join groups. I never had (still don’t have) an online presence but I took a chance and I thoroughly love and am grateful for this community.

Robin

Dear Lauren and Dr. John, I am so sad to hear about your mom and brother. I have been hoping your brother might be able to recover. I always think that this time in life feels like one is in a state of suspension. Or, living in purgatory. I feel for both of you. I am sending white, warming light into the universe for both of you. I am wishing you and yours all the best in 2025. Robin

Maria Albanese

This type of thing is so hard to deal with and then 2 people is just heartbreaking. My aunt & mom (Irish twins) died 7 weeks apart in May & June of 2020. I took care of my mom by myself on hospice because of the pandemic. She was 91 but nonetheless it was hard and still is at times-more all of the what ifs. Sending you good thoughts during this difficult time.

Jen_N_Juice

My thoughts are with your family! I lost my mother 10 years ago from cancer. I don’t know what I would have done without the amazing hospice staff during this time! They are angels here on Earth!

Kay Yorn

My prayers are with you, both of my parents, my brother & my sister were all on hospice before they passed. As hard as it was, I was thankful for the care & emotional support of the hospice team. My best friend of 52 years is on home hospice care now & is very near the end. She is in final stage of liver & kidney disease.

LLemon

This was such a fun interview! Y’all put so much heart and work into bringing us information and we all appreciate you!

Kay Yorn

Excellent interview & great story about your relationship. Lauren I love how you report the facts of a case & show such compassion for the victims & their families. I have watched you since you started following Vallow Daybell. You did & excellent job reporting on that & interviewing so many people connected to that case. Then you came to Delphi & you did an awesome job reporting on it. That case is near & dear to my heart, I live in Indiana & Libby’s family are my friends. You reported the facts of each day & i know the conditions weren’t the best. I heard & read so many people commenting on what a great job you did covering the trialo. I was so impressed that i had to become a hidden gem & join your patreon group. Money is tight but i felt strong enough about what you & Dr John do that i want to support your work.

Rob

Love your story, you two were meant for this and for each other. Thank you both for sharing! Love you guys! 🥰

Triple L

Loved the interview. Y'all are the cutest couple. Y'all are funny.

ShaRee

So fun! I thought I knew quite a bit about you both. I was wrong. xo

Donna Holmes

I love your story. I think when we find our match we just know it in our soul. I've been married 36 yrs to the love of my life. It just keeps getting better. You are both such loving and caring souls. You compliment each other well. Lauren I'm sorry about your mom and brother. I'm praying for all of you.

Tammy Morgan

Love the history behind you two ❤️❤️
