    EP 129: SURVIVAL SUMMER — "What's the Worst Situation You've Survived?"

    Survival Summer is officially in session, campers. This week, we’re going straight to the internet — specifically, the Reddit thread that asked people to share the worst situation they'd ever survived. The responses did not disappoint. From a college weed run that ended at the barrel of an AK-4, to a retired escort who slowly, horrifyingly pieced together what her "regular client" was actually after... we might be a little scarred from these survival tales. Next week, we are back with a full deep dive into the survival story of Tami Oldham Ashcraft, a woman who survived a Category 4 hurricane and 41 days lost at sea. Stay tuned. "That's Genevieve. And that's Kaitlyn." Sisters-in-law, best friends, former CNAs, and the sharp-witted duo behind Camping Is Canceled. Known for their mix of research-driven storytelling and unfiltered commentary, Gen and Kait tackle true crime cases (and paranormal rabbit holes) with empathy, curiosity, and a healthy dose of dark humor. 📲 Instagram: @campingiscanceled 📲 TikTok: @campingiscanceled 📧 Contact: campingiscanceled@gmail.com 🎧 Listen now — everywhere you get your podcasts.

    EP 128: BLIND READ — "Enietra Washington: Only Confirmed Survivor of the Grim Sleeper" by Shari Rose

    She was supposed to be his eighth victim. On November 19th, 1988, 27-year-old Enietra Washington — a mother of two and lifelong South Los Angeles resident — accepted a ride from a stranger named Lonnie Franklin Jr. and barely lived to tell about it. Shot point-blank in the chest, sexually assaulted, photographed unconscious, and pushed from a moving car, Enietra did something Lonnie Franklin never counted on: she survived. And decades later, she took the stand and looked him in the eye. Lonnie Franklin Jr., known as the Grim Sleeper, was convicted of 10 murders in 2016 and sentenced to death. He died on death row at San Quentin in March 2020. Enietra Washington — who goes by Margette today — calls herself not a survivor, but a conqueror. "That's Genevieve. And that's Kaitlyn."

    EP 127: The 1979 Main Line Murders — Where Are Karen & Michael? (Part IV)

    Forty-six years later, and we still don't have an answer to that question. In this final installment of the Mainline Murders, we walk through the trials of both Bill Bradfield and Dr. Jay Smith — the theft conviction that cracked the case open, the jailhouse confessions that made stomachs drop, the physical evidence that pointed directly to Karen and Michael, and the appeal that let a convicted triple murderer walk free. All of it builds to the two loose threads that refuse to tie: where are those children, and who is truly responsible? This one stings. Because the justice system got close — twice — and still, Susan Reinert's kids remain missing. Bill Bradfield died in prison in 1998, maintaining his innocence to the end. Jay Smith walked out of a Pennsylvania courtroom a free man in 1992, his murder convictions overturned on appeal. And Karen and Michael Reinert have never been found.

    EP 126: "She Is Me, And I Am Her" — The Deadly Trend of Alpine Divorce

    What started as a Victorian-era literary euphemism for murder on a mountain has become a hashtag, a warning, and for too many women — a lived experience. The term "alpine divorce" traces back to 1893 and Scottish author Robert Barr's fiction, where a husband plots to push his unhappy wife off a cliff in the Swiss Alps. The wife outsmarts him. Not everyone gets that ending. In this episode, we dig into the deeply unsettling trend of partners — overwhelmingly men — abandoning, endangering, or outright attempting to kill their significant others in remote wilderness settings. From cases that made the headlines to firsthand accounts shared by women on Reddit, this episode covers the full, feral spectrum of what this "trend" actually looks like. As u/whateverr-what-9876 put it: "She is me and I am her. Only that my case was in summer." "That's Genevieve. And that's Kaitlyn."

    EP 125: BLIND READ — "The Killer Cadets"

    In December 1995, a farmer driving along a desolate country road outside Mansfield, Texas, found the body of 16-year-old Adrienne Jones — shot twice, her skull caved in, left behind a barbed wire fence in the dark. She had been lured out of her house in the middle of the night by the boy she had a crush on. What investigators would eventually uncover was a murder plot born out of jealousy, obsession, and two teenagers who had convinced themselves that eliminating a girl was the only way to preserve what they had. ⚠️ Content warning: This episode contains descriptions of murder, violence, and the sexual description of a minor.

    EP 124: The 1979 Main Line Murders — “The Web Tightens” (Part III)

    Nine months of manipulation, a car trunk full of cash, a bottle of acid, and a Cape May alibi — Bill Bradfield really thought he had this one locked up. Part III of the Mainline Murders picks up on June 22nd, 1979, the most critical 72 hours of the entire case. We follow the final movements of Susan Reinert and her kids, walk through Bill's meticulously constructed alibi weekend, and watch the investigation slowly close in — not through a dramatic confession, but through a $25,000 paper trail Bill assumed nobody would ever find. New here? Don't start here. Go back to EP 119 (Part I) and EP 122 (Part II) first. "That's Genevieve. And that's Kaitlyn."

  7. EP 123: BLIND READ — "The Sicario: A Juárez Hit Man Speaks"

    Apr 10

    EP 123: BLIND READ — "The Sicario: A Juárez Hit Man Speaks"

    In 2009, journalist Charles Bowden sat down in a motel room with a man who had personally buried 250 bodies in Juárez, Mexico. He was a former state police officer turned cartel sicario who spent nearly two decades kidnapping, torturing, and killing for an organization he could never fully see or name. Bowden had spent years trying to get to this story. What he walked away with was one of the most chilling first-person accounts of cartel life ever put on paper. Bowden's writing pulls no punches: the sicario speaks plainly about his craft, his conscience, and the system that made him. The result is a piece that's as much about the machinery of violence as it is about one man's attempt to reconcile what he's done. We don't let him off easy, and neither does Bowden. ⚠️Content Warning: This episode contains graphic descriptions of torture, violence, and murder. Please take care of yourself and skip this one if you're not in the right headspace. "That's Genevieve. And that's Kaitlyn."

    EP 122: The 1979 Main Line Murders — “The Prince of Darkness” (Part II)

    Part two of the Mainline Murders picks up right where we left off: with the deeply unsettling inventory found in Susan Reinert's car, including a blue comb engraved with the 79th Reserve Command, the very same unit served by her own principal. Who was Dr. Jay Smith, really? On paper, Principal Jay Smith was a decorated Army colonel, a man who'd carpooled with John Eisenhower and earned a doctorate. Behind that carefully curated image was a much darker story: a daughter lost to heroin addiction who vanished without a trace, a basement that read like a fever dream, a homemade gun range, and an arrest that earned him the nickname the Prince of Darkness. But Dr. Smith is only part of the picture. This episode also takes a long, uncomfortable look at Bill Bradfield — English teacher, serial love-bomber, and the man who would become the unlikely thread connecting everything. With five women in his orbit (yes, five), a failing arts-and-crafts store dragging him deep into debt, and a series of increasingly unhinged confessions to his young colleague about mafia hit lists and silencer demonstrations in broad daylight, Bill is spinning a web so elaborate it almost sounds like bad fiction. Almost. Because somewhere in the middle of all of it is Susan Reinert's name. And the clock is ticking. "That's Genevieve. And that's Kaitlyn."
