    #212 - Never Trust a Doug

    Halloween is supposed to be scary. But for one Michigan family, October 31, 2012, would become a real-life nightmare that no horror movie could ever come close to. This week, Heather tells Brooklyn the deeply disturbing true crime story of Rebekah Gay, a 24-year-old mother whose Halloween morning took a turn that nobody could have imagined. Rebekah had a little boy who was excited for Halloween, a job to get to, and an entire life ahead of her. But when she failed to show up for work, the questions started piling up. Where was Rebekah? Why had she seemingly vanished without a trace? And what really happened in those early morning hours? As investigators began searching for the missing Michigan mother, the details that emerged were enough to make your skin crawl. What started as a desperate search for answers would expose something so twisted, so disturbing, and so completely F****D UP that even Brooklyn might be at a loss for words. And that's saying something. Heather takes Brooklyn through the Rebekah Gay murder case, the Halloween 2012 disappearance, and a shocking true crime investigation out of Isabella County, Michigan, that proves reality can be far more terrifying than fiction. No ghosts. No goblins. No Hollywood special effects. Just a real-life horror story that will stick with you long after Halloween is over. Happy Halloween, Sassholes.

    Sassy Replay #63 - Make You Call Me Daddy

    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!

    #211 - Wax My Skis

    A beautiful newlywed. A jealous ex-girlfriend. A brutal murder. And a secret hiding in plain sight for more than TWO DECADES. This week, Brooklyn tells Heather the absolutely infuriating true crime story of Sherri Rasmussen, a successful nurse whose promising future was stolen in one of Los Angeles' most shocking murder cases. In February 1986, just months after marrying the love of her life, John Ruetten, 29-year-old Sherri Rasmussen was found brutally murdered inside the couple's Van Nuys, California home. Investigators initially believed a burglary had gone horribly wrong. But Sherri's family wasn't buying it. Because before her murder, Sherri had been dealing with some seriously unsettling behavior from John's ex-girlfriend, Stephanie Lazarus. And here's where things get REALLY interesting... Stephanie wasn't just any jealous ex. She was an LAPD police officer. Coincidence? You be the judge. What followed was a decades-long investigation filled with overlooked evidence, unanswered questions, suspicious connections, and one of the most jaw-dropping interrogation room moments in true crime history. Brooklyn takes Heather through the Sherri Rasmussen murder, the investigation into Stephanie Lazarus, the role of the LAPD, and the shocking cold case breakthrough that finally brought long-buried secrets into the spotlight. And trust us, the AUDACITY in this one is off the damn charts.

    #210 - Whatta Fatty Patty

    A wealthy businessman. A bitter divorce. A jealous ex-husband. And a murder that would expose a whole lot more than anyone bargained for. This week, Heather tells Brooklyn the twisted true crime story of Paul Duncsak and Edward Ates, a New Jersey murder case packed with jealousy, money, betrayal, and some seriously questionable decisions. Paul Duncsak was a successful businessman who seemed to have it all. But his relationship with his ex-wife, Stacey, and her former husband, Edward Ates, was anything but peaceful. Then, in 2006, Paul was found murdered inside his New Jersey home, leaving investigators with a chilling crime scene and a whole lot of questions. Who wanted Paul dead? Was this a robbery gone wrong, or was something much more personal at play? And just how far would someone go to settle an old score? As investigators started digging, they uncovered a tangled web of resentment, suspicious behavior, and evidence that would turn this investigation into one hell of a true crime story. Heather takes Brooklyn through the Paul Duncsak murder, the investigation into Edward Ates, and the shocking New Jersey homicide case that proves sometimes the past just won't stay buried. Buckle up, Sassholes. This one's got more red flags than a damn parade.

    #209 - Jump on My Hardwood

    A troubled marriage. A suspicious disappearance. A husband with a story that just wasn't adding up. And one VERY important piece of heavy machinery. This week, Brooklyn tells Heather the gruesome true crime story of Helle Crafts and Richard Crafts — a case so disturbing it became one of Connecticut's most infamous murders. In November 1986, Helle Crafts, a Danish-born flight attendant and mother of three, suddenly disappeared from her Newtown, Connecticut home. Her husband, Richard Crafts, had explanations for where she had gone... but the people who loved Helle weren't buying them. Especially because Helle had already told friends exactly who they should look at if anything ever happened to her. As investigators began digging into the Crafts' marriage, Richard's behavior, and some VERY suspicious activity around the time Helle vanished, this missing-person case turned into something much darker. And then came the snowplow driver. What he remembered seeing during a winter storm would help unravel one of the most gruesome and unforgettable murder cases in true crime history. Brooklyn takes Heather through the Helle Crafts murder, the investigation into Richard Crafts, the infamous Connecticut wood chipper murder case, and the tiny pieces of evidence that told a horrifying story. You might want to skip breakfast for this one.

    #208 - Particles and Sharticles

    A respected doctor. A marriage falling apart. A much younger lover. And a late-night drive that ends in murder. This week, Heather tells Brooklyn the absolutely WILD true crime story of Dr. Gulam Moonda and his wife, Donna Moonda. From the outside, Dr. Gulam Moonda and Donna appeared to have built an impressive life together. But behind closed doors, their marriage was unraveling as Donna battled addiction, entered rehab, and began a secret relationship with Damian Bradford — a man decades younger than her. Then, on May 13, 2005, a seemingly ordinary drive through Ohio took a horrifying turn. Gulam was dead, Donna was left behind as the grieving widow, and investigators were faced with what initially looked like a terrifying roadside crime. Except... things weren't adding up. Because Donna had secrets. Damian had secrets. And once investigators started pulling at the threads, they uncovered a story involving money, betrayal, a prenup, drugs, an affair, and a murder plot that was far more calculated than anyone initially realized. Heather takes Brooklyn through the murder of Dr. Gulam Moonda, the investigation into Donna Moonda and Damian Bradford, and the absolutely bonkers trail that ultimately exposed what was really happening behind the Moondas' seemingly successful marriage. Come for the true crime. Stay for Brooklyn's reaction when this shit starts going OFF THE RAILS.

    #206 - Swoopy Poopy

    A whirlwind romance. Multiple husbands. Stolen money. Fake identities. A mysterious death. And one woman who somehow kept finding men willing to believe every word she said. This week, Heather tells Brooklyn the unbelievable true crime story of Dena Thompson, the British woman who became known as the “Black Widow.” Dena’s trail of lies, fraud, manipulation, and suspicious relationships stretched across decades—and the deeper investigators dug, the crazier it got. From Lee Wyatt and Julian Webb to Richard Thompson, the men in Dena’s life would find themselves caught in a web that included secret affairs, forged documents, missing money, bizarre accusations, and eventually... murder. And somehow, we’re only scratching the surface. How did Dena Thompson get away with it for so long—and what finally brought the Black Widow’s web crashing down? Trigger Warning: This episode discusses murder, poisoning, domestic abuse allegations, manipulation, fraud, and other disturbing circumstances. Plus the usual foul language because Dena gives us PLENTY to discuss. Rate, review, and subscribe to A Couple of Sassholes!
