    Maniacally Murdaugh

    Listen, what else was I supposed to call this episode, it fit with the double M's?  This week Katie recaps the Murdaugh Murders docuseries on Netflix with the updates that literally happened days ago in court on this one.  It is sordid, it is twisted, it has drugs, it has murder, and it's got the southern prominence and old money that usually keeps people out of court and trouble...but not this time.  If you're soaking up these true crime docs on streaming services like everyone else this will give a quick overview and sort out the time line!  And at the end of the day just be happy Katie did not do it in her terrible southern accent that she perfected in Tennessee.   Love ya guys!

    Lake Orion, Michigan Twice as Nice

    Listen Chloe is apparently drawn deep inside her soul to Lake Orion Michigan as she has brought us back here again.  But this time we're not on the set of the reality talk tv shows.  This time we're looking at a Rental company owner and his amicable treatment of his ex wife.  And how the cruelest most unthinkable actions can come from the most unlikely sources.  Side note, maybe if you are a friggin murderer and you have your girlfriend be your alibi, you should probably be super nice....just a thought.  Actually scratch that, be a jerk and that way you don't get away with killing people  Love ya guys!

    Piketon Ohio

    Strap your butts on folks, this one is a long one, but there was zero way to not have this be longer, the Rhoden family had eight victims in this crime coined the Piketon Massacre, which is probably THE most notorious mass murder in Ohio's history.  Katie uncovers the ridiculous motive the family that took part in this crime had for such a large scale, horrifying scene.  Sprinkle in some police misconduct that is uncovered a long the way and there is so much thread to keep pulling at with this one!  PSA, do not steal, but definitely don't do it for a Nissan Versa.  Love ya guys!

    Ypsilanti, Michigan

    This week Chloe covers the Michigan Murders, a gross loser who terrorized the area of Ypsilanti in the 60's.  The wild way he was eventually caught, especially considering DNA wasn't an option yet during this time and the close call he had getting caught once before his eventual capture.  You get to hear commentary from the two bebe's bc unfortunately everyone has been wilding out this week.  Seriously though, we love you guys and even though there wasn't always a way to edit around the fussing, we love getting the stories out to you.  So send good vibes for nap times being respected by the two savages going forward! :) Love ya!

    West Allis Wisconsin

    This week we are covering Steven Zelich, aka mrhandcuffs, this is a listener request brought to us by Jozie.  We dive into his crappy past and the red flags that led up to the horrendous acts committed against his two victims and how our perception of people interests or jobs can lead the public perception into falsely believing people somehow played their own hand in their fate.  As Jeffrey Dahmer in the past proved to us that Stallis isn't only the joyous land of cheese curds and creme puffs, Steven Zelich proved that no matter how okay on the outside something looks there can be disgusting horrible just under the surface! Love ya guys
