The Murder Sheet is a production of Mystery Sheet LLC.

We report on some scary cases and deal with some frankly pretty scary people. Like getting threatened, even getting death threats, forces you to think about how safe you really are.

That’s why we’re grateful for our long-term sponsor Simplisafe. Simplisafe is a home security system that delivers, and gives us peace of mind. That’s priceless.

What I love about Simplisafe is that it's great for every stage of life. Renting? No worries, you won't need drills. Homeowners can rest assured that there are no sneaky fees or contracts. They meet you where you are.

Plus, they're proactive. Once your home is broken into, that shatters your sense of peace and security. Simplisafe seeks to prevent that from even happening. If their agents catch a lurker, they switch on the spotlights and tell the guy to beat it. No break in, no worries.

There's a reason CNEt named them the best home security system of 25. Their AI-powered cameras and live monitoring agents can help prevent problems before they even happen!

Visit SIMPLISAFE dot com slash MSHEET to claim 50% off a new system with a professional monitoring plan and get your first month free. That’s SIMPLISAFE dot com slash MSHEET. There’s no safe like SimpliSafe®.
