    Episode 32: The Lawson Family

    Merry Christmas, Murder friends!!

    92 years ago today, on Christmas, Charlie Lawson committed atrocious acts against his own family. This one is a real doozy, and the Christmas cheer is definitely missing! Tune in for information on not stealing dead people's raisins, the worst sled ride you could imagine, and the answer to these two jokes: 

    Q: What kind of room has no windows or doors? 

    Q: What is the last part of your body to die?

    Spoiler, both are pun related! Thank you so much for listening!
