SASSY REPLAY | Season 2, Episode 63: Colleen Ritzer & Ken McElroy It's a week of celebrations for the Sassholes! Between Brooklyn's birthday and Heather's wedding anniversary, we're taking a little break from recording and bringing you a throwback from Season 2, Episode 63. But don't worry, we'll be back next Thursday with a brand-new episode and back to our regularly scheduled sass! Originally recorded in August 2023, this episode takes us back to our pre-Wonder Boy Media days, when A Couple of Sassholes was still an audio-only podcast! We've come a long way, but the sass has always been there. In this Sassy Replay, Brooklyn and Heather take us in two VERY different directions with one common theme: senseless murders. Brooklyn shares the heartbreaking true crime story of Colleen Ritzer, a beloved 24-year-old Massachusetts math teacher whose life was tragically cut short by her 14-year-old student, Philip Chism. How could someone so young commit such an unthinkable crime against a teacher who dedicated her life to helping others? This disturbing case will leave you with more questions than answers. Then Heather takes us to the small town of Skidmore, Missouri, for one of the most infamous unsolved murder cases in American history. Ken McElroy was the town bully, known for terrorizing his neighbors through threats, harassment, violence, and intimidation. But when the justice system repeatedly failed to protect the community, did the townspeople finally decide enough was enough? Who was responsible for Ken McElroy's death? And why has nobody ever been convicted? Two shocking true crime stories involving Colleen Ritzer, Philip Chism, Ken McElroy, and the mysterious Skidmore, Missouri murder that still has people talking decades later. Buckle up, Sassholes. Even on replay, these stories are one hell of a ride!
