About the Hosts

Olivia Cornu Profile Photo

Olivia Cornu

Olivia Cornu, star of Married at First Sight: New Orleans and a nurse practitioner in a NeuroICU, had a love of true crime before it was cool. She grew up watching COPS and Unsolved Mysteries, and has always been interested in the psychology behind why people do the heinous things they do. If she wasn’t a nurse, she’d be a forensic investigator. She’ll discuss the science behind it all - what gets a killer caught, and what makes a killer tick.

John Conner

John Conner met Olivia on an episode of his longform podcast The Johnversations Podcast, where he discovered that they both shared a passion for true crime. John, a former touring musician and horror and true crime addict, had the same question as Olivia - what’s going on in the mind of a murderer? As an avid researcher, he’ll provide intriguing insight to the most curious of cases to the airwaves. Will curiosity kill the cat?
