In the Land of Lies is a true crime podcast about the case of former police officer Michael Chapel. He is serving a life sentence for robbing and murdering a middle-aged woman in Georgia. The murder happened in 1993, but many believe Chapel is innocent.

In this ten-episode podcast, host Sean Kipe searches for the truth about this murder case. Kipe is a popular true crime podcaster who also hosts In the Red Clay and Fox Hunter. On In the Land of Lies, Kipe conducts interviews and discusses puzzling details.

The former police officer at the heart of this case is 6'6" and 300 pounds. Because of his size, some people called him "The Animal." Many people said Chapel was a gentle giant and a model officer. The In the Land of Lies podcast talks about the crime he allegedly committed. Emogene Thompson was robbed and shot execution-style in her car. $7,000 was missing from her possessions. A single yellow rose wrapped in cellophane sat on the dashboard.

Later on, as Kipe's podcast reveals, Emogene's blood was found on Officer Chapel's rain jacket and in his police car. Several people said that they saw a police officer at the scene of the crime. One eyewitness identified Chapel. But now, years later, when host Kipe is reviewing the case, a lot of the evidence has disappeared or is not accessible. Blood samples have not been DNA-tested, and many details don't make sense.

The In the Land of Lies podcast discusses a case that appears to be more of a coverup. Host Kipe plays news clips and eyewitness accounts with disturbing details. Many people involved at the time don't believe Chapel could have done this. Kipe visits the former cop in prison. Chapel speaks of other forces and says that "they" wanted to ensure he never got out.

At the end of the last In the Land of Lies episode, host Kipe discusses recent developments. Chapel never loses hope that his case will get reviewed again. The outcome is still open.
