Christian Andreacchio was found dead in the upstairs of his apartment in Meridian, Mississippi on February 26, 2014. He was slumped over his bathtub and had been shot in the head.

The determination of suicide shocked Andreacchio’s family. According to those who knew him the best, Andreacchio had big plans to become a boat captain. By all outside appearances, he appeared to be happy with his life — and had never shown any indication that he wanted to kill himself. The Andreacchio family maintains that Christian’s death was a result of foul play — and that they believe the physical evidence shows that he didn’t commit suicide.

The mysterious death of Andreacchio is now being investigated in the podcastCulpable, available onApple Podcasts. After its summer debut, it quickly landed in the top 20 on the Apple podcast charts, where it still remains.

“The amount of exposure that we can generate for a case opens the door for new information, tips and witnesses to come forward, many of whom do not feel comfortable talking to police,” says Donald Albright, Tenderfoot executive producer. “In Christian’s case too many have turned a blind eye. It’s much harder to do that when we shine a bright light on their activities and go places where law enforcement is unwilling to go.”

The Meridian Police Department did not return PEOPLE’s call for comment.
