Episode 27: Part 1 - The Crime That Made Us (Obsessed With True Crime, That Is)

Happy New Year! 🎇🎇🎇

Are you scared of things that go bump in the night? Does the dark freak you out? Do you feel generally uneasy when a car is following you too closely for too long? What is that true crime story that has fundamentally impacted the way you live you life?

Join our host, and her mom, as they discuss the horrible crimes that took place in their community - mostly around holiday weekends - from 1986 through 1989 (or 1996 depending who you ask). Were these crimes the work of an elusive serial killer or were they random, unconnected chaos? We don't even know which is worse, but we do know that these stories have been the foundation for all of our fears. Young love, first dates, tips for driving at night, and the activities of some enormous asshat (or a few) free with stream.
