I think you can listen to that podcast in Spotify and in Apple iTunes.

Episode 3 of the Case Podcast with Kirk Minihane is up on the barstool sports. This just gets more and more strange. Also the Facebook and Reddit groups for followers of the podcast are full of the unbelievable posts. If just some of it is true, KM, the POI in Faiths disappearance is a very dangerous person.

The Journal, an Oconee County, SC paper has published a story about the possible connection of two 2019 drug related deaths to the POI in Faith Roach (Walhalla,SC) and Jennifer Fay (Brockton, MA) missing cases. This is definitely heating up due to new information uncovered by the investigators in the true crime podcast The Case Podcast with Kirk Minihane. The Case Podcast is available on iTunes and Spotify.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crimestoppers at 1-888-CRIMESC or 864-638-4111.

The POI, Kevin Wayne Maler, does have a history of court charges ranging from civil cases to criminal cases. In 2003 there was an order of protection granted for an individual who listed her address as the same address he listed as his own in the court record.

Listening to the podcast, it’s hard to not question whether authorities made a decision to turn their heads, not spending the money to properly investigate, and ignore murder in a poor and drug addicted part of their community, similar to the way murders and serial killings of prostitutes have often been handled.
The bad guys know this, that they operate outside of the law because of the social status of their victims.
I’m glad the podcast has brought attention to these cases.

I’ve also been following along in the FB discussion group and the Reddit
discussion group for The Case Podcast. It’s been very interesting to hear from the community and from some of the friends & family of the main characters in the podcast.
More than a few are frustrated that these deaths have not been properly investigated. It’s really interesting that The Case Podcast was able to speak with individuals who may not have shared information with LE.

This case and the Kristin Smart case may be ultimately solved by the influence of murder investigations by crime podcasters.

Im praying this is true for the families and the communities involved. I don’t personally know Faith’s family, but I have family in Oconee County and lived in Westminster when I was a young girl.

My question about Faith is...there were others, in her circle of friends, who were reported to have died of overdose around the time Faith went missing. Most of them were found at their own home. Kevin Craig was found in his home, not long after being visited by Kevin “Boston” Maler according to The Case Podcast episode 4. April Norton was found in the garage at her home, her family has questions about how she appeared when she was found.
If Faith DID die as the result of an overdose, why was it necessary for her body to disappear? Why not leave her somewhere that she might be found? I suspect that the pictures floating around on social media of an unnamed POI by LE (officially at this time, but mentioned in The Case Podcast) give a clue as to part of what happened.
If there was some sort of struggle, and Faith was harmed as a result, then they would need to hide her.
If she merely OD’ed, they could have brought her to the ER under SC Good Samaritan laws. Or leave her somewhere she might easily be found.
Of course this is all my own humble opinion and I could be wrong.

Episode 5: The Interview , of The Case Podcast Season 1 :Boston is available for listening. In this episode Kirk Minihane travels to SC to interview Kevin “Boston” Maler, one of the POI in the Faith Roach and Jennifer Fay missing persons cases. Kevin Maler freely offers to take a polygraph test and answer questions. What happens at when Kevin shows up for the poly is very interesting.

If you look for this subreddit there is a really good character map that lists the different people and how they are related in these two cases of Faith Roach and Jennifer Fay.

Holy moly y’all. I never thought I would watch it all but almost two and half hours later, here I am.
This was 2009, he’s aged about 30 years since then. jmo
I’m no expert but his body language was trying to protect himself the entire time, arms across his chest, occasionally leaning forward and bringing one hand to his face, usually to his cover his mouth while he mumbled, or his forehead, head down hiding his eyes.
The first hour talking about his personal history; his life is so sad, it’s so rough, a foster kid, he doesn’t remember the first person he had sex with but he had a sex life by 13 with an older women, I don’t remember her age, 19? 24? He is probably proud of that and doesn’t realize he was a victim of child sexual abuse.
Skipping towards the end of the second hour after they got intense with him and he tried to redeem himself by claiming to have put drug dealers in SC in jail by wearing a wire, and then, “I’m not afraid to wear a wire, I’ve worn a wire six times”.
This video may get him killed. jmo

This interview certainly didn’t redeem him in any way, maybe that fake sounding crying, whiny, voice worked with some girlfriend?
I think they are right about him doing heroin to tamp down emotion for the polygraph, or something like Xanax, after staying up for god knows how many days on meth before the day of the polygraph. He admitted doing meth the day before. After the three polygraph naps, the residual meth kicked back in, or maybe he did some in the bathroom, and he couldn’t quit talking, to his detriment. jmo
I guess he couldn’t get a written “doctor’s excuse” this time. What the heck is that about, anyway?
Edited to add: he seemed fairly casual about an intimate relationship with his birth mother, saying maybe that’s why he is attracted to underage girls. This is a new story following his pattern of justifying his actions and we will never know if it’s true, she’s dead and can’t defend herself.

I’m only halfway through this one but also noticed the body language, and I’m no expert either. He answered “ I don’t remember” to the questions about his brown Ford F-150 pick-up truck that they had records showing he registered it in 1989 and the truck disappeared at the same time as 16 yo Jennifer Lynn Fay, both to never be seen again.

Not remembering the truck is a big deal, they don’t let up on that, they call him out on it until the end.
