Hey y’all! We are a husband and wife team from Louisiana that discuss murder, mystery, and mayhem with a southern twist!
We cover true crime throughout the South, so pull up a rocking chair, grab your mason jar full of sweet tea, and sit for a spell while we chit chat, and laugh some about this crazy world we live in. If you are ok with some banter and a few well placed f-bombs, you are in the right place and we are glad you are here!
Now if banter and cussing are not for you and you just want us to get to the point, check out our weekly release ”A Little Less Mess” where we cover the same stories but with no added chit chat or humor.

114. [Texas] Serial Killer: Daniel Lee Corwin
This week we are covering a serial killer out of Huntsville, Texas. Daniel Lee Corwin killed three women in the East Texas area and attempted to kill two others. He was finally caught when one of his victims survived and was determined to find her attacker.
Fun Fact: The Texas State Penitentiary at Huntsville opened in 1849, one year after the state legislature created the penitentiary system. As the first state prison in Texas, the Huntsville site soon became known as the "Walls Unit" for the 15-foot brick wall that surrounds the prison yard.

113. [South Carolina] Elaine Fogle
In Walterboro, South Carolina, 26 year old Elaine Fogle is brutally murdered in her own home. With very little evidence and no leads, the case quickly turns cold. It would take a new detective and modern science to finally solve the mystery.
Fun Fact: In South Carolina, it is illegal to change clothes in a gas station bathroom. This isn't enforced, but is on the books!

112. [Texas] Yleen and Lillie Kennedy
We are headed to Texas this week where a double homicide went cold for 30 years until a call from several states away breaks the case wide open.
Fun Fact: In some Texas cities, you need a permit to walk barefoot. It is required to purchase a $5 permit before walking around barefoot, in order to avoid the city’s code governing “sanitation and appearance."

111. [Georgia] Cyndi Williams and Lori Brown
We are back from our short hiatus and covering a double homicide out of Georgia. Two women were brutally murdered in the middle of the day at a real estate office. With an unclear motive, police must piece together why these two young women's lives were cut short and find the monster who did it before he strikes again.
Fun Fact: It is illegal to eat chicken with a fork in Gainesville, Georgia. In 1961, they enacted a law stating that chicken was a delicacy and must be eaten with your hands. It was mainly a publicity stunt, but the law is still on the books today!

110. [Texas] Laurie Stout
We are headed to Texas this week where a young mother is brutally murdered while working her overnight cleaning job. All signs point to the husband but without enough evidence they have to let him go. It would take decades to finally bring the killer to justice.
Fun Fact: Be careful, you could be married without being present! Texas is a common law marriage state, which means you are considered legally married if the couple makes three public announcements that they’re married. Moreover, a couple can be considered legally married even if the other spouse isn’t present for the ceremony.

109. [Louisiana] Kristi O'Pry
We are back from our break and headed to Louisiana where it would take a decade to solve the murder of Kristi and reveal a serial killer in the making.
Fun Fact: Even thought Louisiana is known for having Parishes instead of counties, that wasn't always the case. In 1807, the government officially switched from counties to Parishes, based off of local churches.
