True crime often inspires the most successful fictional crime stories. When told by a visionary novelist like Dame Agatha Christie, dubbed "The Queen of Crime," these fictional stories can become larger than life and even more compelling than truth. "Everyone Is a Suspect" dives deeper into both fact and fiction, taking a closer look at the “Crime of the Century," the 1932 Lindbergh Baby kidnapping, which, along with Christie’s own experiences as a passenger on the Orient express, inspired her to write the 1934 novel Murder on the Orient Express. In true Up and Vanished fashion, host Payne Lindsey will reexamine the Lindbergh kidnapping case, and even retrace Christie’s steps by embarking on his own trip aboard the Orient Express. In preparation for the November 10th premiere of Murder on the Orient Express, the podcast will also include interview episodes titled, "The Suspects.” Each episode will focus on the upcoming film, featuring a collection of cast interviews, discussing the MOTOE novel and film, the parallels between true crime and fiction, podcasting, and more.

At just over an hour long, this television special focused on investigating the crime and the two parties that confessed to the crime. Lindsey and his team set out to interview people in the community, which included Tara Grinstead's friends and people in law enforcement. The show mixed actual photos and videos from the investigation and dramatized reenactments to tell the story that the podcast did. A great deal of the show was dedicated to investigating Bo Dukes and Ryan Duke.{{Citation needed|date=December 2025}}
