In this week's episode, join Thena and Kylee to discuss the death of Lacey Fletcher. Lacey’s parents neglected her for twelve years on the couch, where her body rotted away and fused to the couch. Lacey was so malnourished with feces and couch cushions being her only source of food, while vermin and maggots ate away at her slowly. This story is horrifying and gruesome and Lacey deserved so much better than this world gave her.

In this week's episode, join Thena and Kylee to talk about a little more of a furry case. We are going to meet Casper, the crime fighting dog. Sounds fun right? Casper is a Great Pyrenees from Georgia who found and killed numerous coyotes that were trying to attack his livestock. Talk about a ruff day on the job. Did you know that dogs play an important role in the true crime community, between cadaver dogs, assisting in crime searches, K-9 units, and more. We give credit to some other really cool dogs that have helped with cases over time!
