    Ashley covers a sad, older case from Minnesota. While there's justice being served now, it's still not enough as trade for a young boy's life.

    Phone Interview with Kristi Dale

    This isn't an actual episode, but the family of Bob Dale asked if we could release the whole interview to aid in a from-scratch investigation they are doing into his disappearance. The hope is that there may be a detail mentioned that may jog a memory & contribute to a new lead, & with any luck will finally bring closure to the question: where is Bob Dale?

Katyh95 ,

New Favorite!

I just started listening and LOVE the content and the banter. Sarah and Ashley make me feel like I am in the room with them, sipping wine, and sharing true crime! Keep up the badassery!

G8torCat ,

Unlistenable

Unintelligible, poor sound quality, overtalking, mumbling and way too much vocal fry. Yikes!

crime addiction ,

Too much talking!

Your show will be better if you sto talking too much, the banter is way out of proportion compared to the crime information you give . And also you talk over each other on that banter that you can’t understand what are you saying…. So cut off the banter please…..
