Preeyanuch Nonwangchai, Apiwan Satayabundit, and Kawita Ratchada are not household names in the west, but they took Thailand's media by storm after what they did to 23-year-old Warissara Klinjui. In May 2017, the Thai public became enthralled with a grisly karaoke bar murder case. Police quickly apprehended the three women responsible for the crime - and the so-called Thai “Murder Babes” became media sensations - with merchandise being produce in their honor. Men wanted them - women wanted to be them. Drewby and Yergy review this case and ponder how on earth three cold blooded killers became icons.    A very special thank you to Levi for supporting our show as our highest tier patron!

Newry is a small skiing village in Western Maine with a population of less than 500 people.
