The Final Hours Podcast

PAVE Studios has announced the launch of The Final Hours, a new Crime House original audio series hosted by Sarah Turney and Kourtney Nichole (Crime with Kourt), premiering on Monday, February 23rd.

The weekly podcast puts the magnifying glass on the final hours before someone goes missing. An untouched dinner. An unmade bed. An unsent text or an unlocked door. From final conversations, to the last known steps, to red flags and red herrings, Sarah and Kourtney understand the things that replay over and over in the minds of those who’ve lost a loved one.

For them, justice means scrutiny and making sure overlooked cases are finally heard. Before Sarah and Kourtney reported on crime, they both experienced it firsthand and know how it can shatter a family. Now, they’re bringing those meaningful perspectives to The Final Hours, ensuring the details investigators may have overlooked are finally given the attention they deserve.

“I’ve spent years fighting for my sister’s case to be heard, and I know firsthand how many families are still waiting for that same attention,” said Sarah Turney. “Partnering with Kourtney and Crime House gives us the platform to shine a light on the cases that deserve a second look,

the ones where critical details were dismissed or overlooked. This isn’t just another true-crime show. It’s about accountability, and making sure these stories don’t fade into the background.”

“What drew me to this partnership with Crime House is the opportunity to do true crime differently, with intention and respect for the families still living with unanswered questions,” said Kourtney Nichole. “Teaming up with Sarah on this series feels like the most natural thing I’ve ever done. We both became advocates in this space through deeply personal experiences, and that shapes how we approach every case. These stories deserve more than headlines. They deserve the kind of attention that can actually make a difference.”

“Trust is the engine of the true crime genre. Listeners aren’t looking for more shows, they’re looking for creators they trust and voices that are authentic,” said Max Cutler, Founder of PAVE Studios. “Sarah and Kourtney have each built that credibility independently through years of advocacy and storytelling. Signing them to Crime House brings together two of the most credible voices in true crime. Two trusted creators, two deeply engaged audiences, and a shared mission to shine a light on cases that have been waiting too long for answers.”

Sarah Turney is an advocate, host, and creator whose true-crime work began with her fight for justice for her missing sister, Alissa Turney. She launched Voices for Justice in 2019, which reached #1 on Apple Podcasts and led to a documentary collaboration with Peacock. Alissa’s case and Sarah’s advocacy are also the focus of an upcoming Netflix documentary. Sarah founded Voices for Justice Media, a podcast network amplifying cases that demand renewed

scrutiny and accountability. Her advocacy-driven storytelling has earned her a highly engaged audience of more than 1.3 million followers across social platforms.

Kourtney Nichole is a true-crime storyteller and investigator known as Crime With Kourt, reaching more than 3 million followers across social platforms. Her connection to true crime is deeply personal. At a young age, she learned that someone in her own family had committed a violent crime that shook their hometown. She independently obtained the case files herself, an experience that shaped her mission to bring attention to stories that deserve to be heard and ensure families feel seen, supported, and never forgotten. Her work consistently draws global attention, helping push stalled investigations back into the public conversation.

Founded by Max Cutler, PAVE Studios is building the next-generation studio of culturally defining brands that produce and scale creator-led IP across video, audio, live experiences, and more.
