    S. 8 Ep. 18: Fostered Then Killed: The Murder of Lisa Knoefel

    In this week’s episode, Kat explores the story of Lisa Knoefel, a woman who opened her home to offer safety, stability, and a second chance. Instead, she brought something far more dangerous inside. In November 2012, Lisa was killed in her own home—but what followed would reveal something far more calculated… and far more personal. And the person responsible might not be who you think. Grab a drink and join us as we explore the dark side of humanity...with beer!

    S. 8 Episode 15: Skidmore’s Secret: The Killing of Ken McElroy

    In the tiny farming town of Skidmore, Missouri, nearly fifty people stood on Main Street and watched Ken McElroy die in broad daylight. When police arrived, every single witness said the same thing. “I didn’t see anything.” In this episode, Kat dives into the story of the man known as the “town bully,” the decades of fear that built up in Skidmore, and the shocking day when an entire town closed ranks and refused to identify a killer. Grab a drink and join us as we explore the dark side of humanity… with beer.\ References: In Broad Daylight - By Harry N.

    S. 8 Episode 12: Folie à Deux: The Eriksson Twins

    They say twins have unbreakable bonds. Ones where they develop secret twin languages, intense connections and experiences, and so on. But what about twins that display erratic, completely psychotic behavior together? In this episode, Ashley discusses Ursula and Sabina Eriksson, identical twins from Sweden.  Two women stood in the median of one of the busiest highways in the country. Then, one after the other, they ran directly into moving traffic.

    S. 8 Episode 11: Watched, Controlled, Silenced: The Murder of Dominique ‘Nique’ Leili

    **Listener discretion advised. This episode discusses stalking, domestic violence, and intimate partner homicide.** As January marks Stalking Awareness Month, Kat introduces us to Dominique “Nique” Leili - a devoted moom navigating a troubled marriage—& a victim of escalating control & surveillance that ultimately turned deadly.   In 2011, Dominique disappeared in Gwinnett County, Georgia. Months later, her remains were discovered in a wooded area, and suspicion quickly focused on her husband, Matthew Leili. What followed was a deeply unsettling case marked by recorded jailhouse phone calls, conflicting accounts from their daughters, years of legal appeals, and a defense that framed Dominique’s murder as a mystery—despite substantial evidence presented at trial.  In this episode, Kat takes us through the case & reminds us all that stalking is not a “lesser” offense. It is a documented predictor of intimate partner homicide.  This is the hill Kat will die on, y'all! Grab a drink and join us as we explore the darker side of humanity - with beer!
