Yes, we're late but...

Surprise! It's the Season 1 Finale!

It's Summertime and in Florida, that means Tourist Season. Between that and some personal things, Maggie and Janessa decided that it was best to take July off and come back sometime in August refreshed and ready to take on some more true crime. We'll still be here, so stick around and you may get some bonus content!

We leave you for now with a Spooky Special. This was recorded at the same time as the interview with Maggie's dad about Frank Walls, so forgive the quality and background noise.

See you soon!

We've moved to Wednesdays!

Jane Toppan had a difficult childhood which she overcame to become a nurse. She was so friendly and well-liked by patients and staff that she earned the nickname "Jolly Jane." What no one knew, though, was that Jane had a darker ambition - to be a serial killer.
